This code depends on PR 680. In addition, the docs include a link to the proposed AppCache wiki page. Adds the appcache smart package and associated documentation. QA notes are in packages/appcache/QA.md (Is this a good place to put them?)

## `appcache`
|
|
|
|
The `appcache` package is an experimental package to enable the
|
|
browser's application cache, which allows the static portion of a
|
|
Meteor application (the client side Javascript, HTML, CSS, and images)
|
|
to run offline.
|
|
|
|
The `appcache` package by itself however does not provide a mechanism
|
|
for offline *data*: if an application starts up offline, a
|
|
`Meteor.Collection` on the client will be empty... until such time the
|
|
browser connects to the Internet and Meteor is able to establish its
|
|
online livedata connection.
|
|
|
|
This package should not be used on a domain if there's a chance you
|
|
might want to revert to using Meteor 0.5.4 or older on that domain.
|
|
(Older versions of Meteor do not tell the browser to turn off the app
|
|
cache, which means that users who have your application cached would
|
|
be stuck running your old code even if you aren't using the `appcache`
|
|
package any more). Meteor >= 0.5.5 does not have this problem: the
|
|
browser will revert to not using the app cache if you remove the
|
|
`appcache` package.
|
|
|
|
For more information about the `AppCache` package see the
|
|
[AppCache](https://github.com/meteor/meteor/wiki/AppCache)
|
|
page in the Meteor wiki.
