Bug Description
There is no "purge the stylesheet cache" functionality in Mahara. This lack of functionality prevents stylesheet changes to be seen directly and generally, users will need to clear their browser cache.
Suggestion from Pace University:
Add a URL parameter for the version of Mahara in which the stylesheet changes.
So for example, instead of calling
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/
consider calling the 1.7.1 stylesheet:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/
and in version 1.8.1 call:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/
So the stylesheet would be still be named style.css, but the URL parameter will prevent the browser from using a locally cached version.
