What's New?

The 4.1.0 release brings with it a number of fixes to make the command-line sw-precache interface compatible with a wider array of configuration options, along with additional control over the generated service worker file's lifecycle, and clarifications and enhancements to the documentation.

It also fixes a bug that prevented the service worker from falling back to a network response when a cached entry is manually deleted from the cache.

New skipWaiting and clientsClaim options

Developers can now opt-out of using skipWaiting() and clients.claim(), in the generated service worker file, via the new skipWaiting and clientsClaim options. They both are enabled by default, which matches the behavior in previous versions of sw-precache.
