modifying a svg already cached doesn't invalidate the cache, renders as version initially loaded during a session

Once a svg file is loaded during a qgis session, its cache stays fixed, even if the svgs are edited / modified. It's a problem when users want to finetune their svg graphics as it forces them to restart the application or create endless new files for edited svgs.

I am developing a Python plugin that is generating SVG symbols for a layer, and since I am reusing file names for the SVGs I am hitting this bug.
Are there any other workarounds than making sure that every SVG file name is unique?

Same problem here. I use timestamp in my SVG file names to make them unique, but I don't really like this solution and so don't release my plugin.
Does any fix is planned? It would be great!
