New Features

• A hash_public_cache plugin has been added, which allows preloading the digest cache for the hash_public plugin using a file, avoiding the need for the hash_public plugin to read files on first request for them to compute the digests.

  plugin :hash_public_cache, "path/to/cache_file.json"
  
  # Scan public directory, populate cache, and dump cache file.
  scan_hash_public_cache_dir
  dump_hash_public_cache_file
  
  # Populate cache from file at process startup
  load_hash_public_cache_file
  

Other Improvements

• The hash_public plugin now uses OpenSSL::Digest instead of Digest if available for better performance.
