Zinq 0.10.3 Released

We’ve just released a new minor version of Zinq: 0.10.3. This update improves asset hashing, ensuring better browser caching and fixing potential issues with Livewire.

# What Changed?

Previously, asset hashes were generated using the uniqid function on every page reload. This meant that browsers never cached assets properly, leading to unnecessary downloads and potential performance issues. More importantly, this behavior could cause unexpected page reloads in Livewire applications. When Livewire detects new styles, it triggers a full-page reload - even when using wire:navigate links.

With this update, asset hashes are now read from the latest build instead of being dynamically generated. This ensures consistent asset URLs between reloads, allowing browsers to cache assets properly and improving overall performance.

# Why this matters

• Better Caching - browsers will now cache assets correctly, reducing unnecessary requests and improving load times
• Stable Livewire Behavior - prevents unintended page reloads when using Livewire’s wire:navigate
• Improved Performance - fewer redundant asset fetches mean a smoother experience for users

If you’re using Zinq, updating to 0.10.3 is highly recommended to take advantage of these improvements.

Happy coding! 🚀
