PORails compiles assets both with and without md5 hash, why?

Body
copied!<p>I'm relatively new to RoR and I'm curious about why Rails compiles assets both with and without md5 hash for production?</p> <p>I run <code>bundle exec rake assets:clean</code> then <code>bundle exec rake assets:precompile</code></p> <p>My production.rb file:</p> <pre><code>MyApp::Application.configure do # Code is not reloaded between requests config.cache_classes = true # Full error reports are disabled and caching is turned on config.consider_all_requests_local = false config.action_controller.perform_caching = true # Disable Rails's static asset server (Apache or nginx will already do this) config.serve_static_assets = false # Compress JavaScripts and CSS config.assets.compress = true # Don't fallback to assets pipeline if a precompiled asset is missed config.assets.compile = false # Generate digests for assets URLs config.assets.digest = true config.action_dispatch.x_sendfile_header = 'X-Accel-Redirect' # for nginx config.assets.precompile += %w(tos.js, tos.css) config.i18n.fallbacks = true config.active_support.deprecation = :notify end </code></pre> <p>My application works with files with hashes in their names and it's the way it should be in my case :)</p> <p>So I have two questions here:</p> <p>1) Why is it happening when compiled?</p> <blockquote> <p>Rails compiles assets both with and without md5 hash for production</p> </blockquote> <p>2) What are these files (without hashes) for?</p> <p>Maybe I don't get something, so please could someone explain.</p>
