static cache=enabled - when is it updated?

I've set up a static cache test site running 3.7.6, actually a new siteaccess for static pages of an existing site. The thought is to serve the static cached pages until someone logs in, at which time the site access is changed to the non-static.

It works as expected with viewing... meaning that after I tweaked the rewrite rules and ran the makestaticcache.php -s <new siteaccess> (and ran a shell script to add "static" to the title of each page) I ended up on the static site for the files that have a generated static file (and back at the dynamic site if I delete an index.html).

However, when I add new content, change stuff, delete stuff (and presumably move stuff), the static cache isn't automatically updated - or, more precisely, files are not changed/added in my static directory. Looking quickly at the code (ezcontentobjecttreenode.php, ezstaticcache.php, ezcontentcachemanager.php, cache.php, module.php, cachetoolbar.php) and the changelogs, it does appear that it should, and poking around this site I got the impression that it should automatically regenerate the static cache (although several forum entries also mentioned running makestaticcache.php as a cron job).

Running makestaticcache.php does fix everything.

So, am I wrong in my assumption and static cache pages are NOT updated on publish and therefore I should set up a makestaticcache cron?

Or, did I misconfigure something along the way and I should keep looking for that...

Hello Steven

Maybe it's because of the bug I found last week: http://ez.no/bugs/view/9126

Thanks. That saved me a lot of debugging. I switched to 3.8.4 and with this change it works as expect. I still have a problem with the 3.7.6 but there were bug fixes in between.
