For too long, we've Replace-All'd to increment site asset version
numbers. This is a task that has an obvious solution using the
templating engine. As such, we now have templates/util/assetcache.html
which contains a dict of version numbers and a macro to generate the
versioned name of an asset.
Going forward, it is recommended that all future replace-all uses
are used as opportunities to switch to the macro. Do remember to
import the macro in all top-level templates, if not already present.
Recommended form: {%- from 'util/assetcache.html' import asset -%}
Then add a key to CACHE_VER in util/assetcache.html.
Then replace the asset path in templates eg: {{asset('css/main.css')}}
For all future versions of those assets, one can simply increment
the value in util/assetcache.html instead. This will greatly reduce
git spam touching unrelated files and generally be clearer and easier.
