With the recommended CDN "Jsdelivr” for the plugins, we can't fix bugs in production (the browser cached the plugin URL for seven Days )

Hej inlang community,
I wrote the inlang po plugin. I had a bug in production and solved it. So far, so good. After committing to fix the bug, I realised the problem still exists because my browser caches the plugin URL in the inlang.config.js for one week. (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69148904/difference-in-jsdelivr-url-with-without-latest#:~:text=The%20caching%20period%20is%201%20week)

Would you happen to have any recommendations to solve this problem? Or any other CDN provider?

Yeah, we need to suggest a CDN that does not cache aggressively (JSDelivr caches a week).

For jsdelivr it is possible to purge the @latest and I think we should have an example for a Github Action which does this automatically, if a new version is released.

Purging is not the problem.

JSDelivr sends caching headers to the browser (1 week). JSDelivr itself updates every 24 hours. We need to find a CDN with a release via GitHub that does not send caching headers to the browser. Or, we determine that a weekly cache is okay. Stating a specific version for a plugin e.g. [email protected] avoids the problem
