This. I can’t fathom why it would persist unless the server cache is very very very opinionated.
And it can’t be client OS dependent, surely?

Re: "Clear your cache" message on `release-demo`
As further supporting information, I’ve just updated two more live sites to the 4.9.1 release version and have no such admin messages. Just a regular green announce message that the site has been updated to 4.9.1 when I log back in for the first time.
So perhaps this is peculiar to the demo server? Maybe the fact it’s rebuilt frequently is tripping up some server-level (or Cloudflare?) cache but not for all users or regions? Very odd indeed.

This looks likely. I’m running that paradigm of Enshittification (Tahoe), and develop in Safari. Bugs and glitchy behaviour across OS26… Every 3 or 4 days Safari beachballs for 20 or 30 seconds when opening a new url, with rebooting the only fix. ChatGTP suspects its a Safari cache thing…

I felt this hard, giz. I foolishly went down the Tahoe + iOS 26 route and I know exactly what you mean. It’s rare for me to have any regrets, but that cavalier upgrade evening last year…yeah, lessons learned.

The only instance where this warning appears in the code is:

Thanks for the pointer, etc. I have no idea where this is coming from. The build script grabs the .tar.xz archive, decompresses it, and uses the resulting files to arm the installer…and the result definitely uses the 4.9.1. There’s nothing screwy in the Nginx headers for JS caching. There’s nothing I can see in Cloudflare to cache the JS, either. I’ll keep looking.

I have explicitly set a Cloudflare rule to bypass all caching. Let’s see if that helps.
