Question: Is this necessary for half caching?

[stuartcusackie]

Is a solution like this is required for forms and dynamic sections (e.g. filtered entries) when using the half caching method? You mention full caching specifically in the docs.

Thanks!

That's correct. Forms and other dynamic features such as sort="random" don't work with any type of static caching. This addon simply helps to dynamically update the configuration, so you don't have to.

I wonder if this new no_cache tag negates the need to exclude entire pages from the static cache...

Yes, that's what this tag is for.
