Caching issues for Client Extension for Doors Next Generation

I am developing a client extension/widget for Doors Next Generation (DNG) version 7.1. I have noticed that the browser will often cache the widget and not display the updated widget unless I manually go to the xml file defining the entry point for the widget and do a hard refresh for it in the browser, and repeat the same process in the browser for each html file for the widget . Simply refreshing the widget via the dropdown menu for the widget in DNG does not always work regarding getting the widget to update, and even manually removing and adding the widget back does not always work. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Was wondering if there was a solution to this outside of the manual hard refresh method.
