> Initial idea from Dirk Frederickx:
> we could introduce the notion of a 'version' number for user preferences. This prefs-version-nbr should then be stored in the cookie. Upstepping this version number could be used to force a rewrite of all cookies, avoiding incompatibilies between server side settings and cookies.
> This could be useful for things like timeformats, introduction of new skins, introudction of new editors, etc. Also useful when upgrading JSPWiki from v2.4.x to v2.6.x.
> My comment:
> I'd refine this to two version numbers: one internal for JSPWiki version changes (automatically trigger a cookies update) and one in the properties file for the site admin to change and therefore trigger a cookies update manually after configuration changes.
