      As described in JENKINS-9679, merely updating the version of slave.jar served from Jenkins master does not cause JNLP agents to use the new version; they persist in using the JNLP cache. This makes debugging changes difficult, and can result in bug fixes seeming to not take effect in user deployments.

      We do set an immediate Expires header on /jnlpJars/slave.jar but apparently this does not suffice.
