Implemented cache policy: * the homepage is cached for 5 minutes by default. This time can be configured with the =home_cache_in_minutes= attribute in the environment. * non-profile pages are cached for 15 minutes by default. This time can be configured with the =general_cache_in_minutes= attribute in the environment. * profile pages are cached for 15 minutes by default. This time can be configured in the =profile_cache_in_minutes= attribute in the environment. * The account controller (/account/*) is not cached at all. * The environment administration area (/admin/*) is not cached at all. * The profile administration area (/myprofile/*) is not cached at all. * Since Varnish will not cache any request that involves cookies: * Authenticated users will not benefit from the cache. * Cookies are not allowed for unauthenticated users. So, when a response is being prepared for an unauthenticated user, all cookies are wiped out. The contents of the login block and the login/logout part of the header is now loaded via an AJAX call to /account/user_data. This way we can cache almost all pages without caching user-specific data. We are also changing substantially how the flash[:notice] messages work. From now on, instead of setting flash[:notice], we must set session[:flash]. It will work more or less like before, except that session[:notice] will be consumed by the AJAX call to /account/user_data that is done during all page loads instead of being consumed automatically by Rails. The only exception to this is the media_panel, because it uses a different layout. (ActionItem1608)
