The cache busting mechanic employed by jspm.io is based on hashing the contents of the package's
main
entrypoint. That strategy works great for normal JavaScript libraries, but many of my libraries are "joint" libraries having both a Ruby library and companion JavaScript library. I always release both libraries together (with the same version number) regardless if one of them didn't actually have changes. This makes it less confusing for folks keeping the libraries in sync for their applications.TLDR; jspm.io does not invalidate its cache for the JavaScript package and will continue to ship the last version of the library that included changes regardless of the current library version.
