Polling stopped re-downloading your config
The SDKs now make conditional requests: they tell the edge which version they already hold, and a poll that finds nothing changed comes back empty instead of fetching the whole config again. Steady-state polling costs your users almost no bandwidth, which matters most in the browser and on mobile, and a larger flag config no longer makes every poll heavier. Ships in switchbox-flags 0.9.0 and switchbox-js 0.8.0, automatic, with nothing to configure.
