When two registry releases are publised on the same day, older version is downloaded by mason.nvim about mason.nvim

Hey so this was due to how caching was configured in the API service. Only mason-org/mason-registry had low cache expirations while other repositories defaulted to 30 minute expiration. This should be fixed via mason-org/mason-registry-api#158.

This might be a delay in github release cache? Because, after few minutes this got fixed without any changes.

Reopening. Even though https://github.com/USER/PROJECT/releases/latest navigates me to the latest release in the browser when mason.nvim force refreshed, it downloads an older version of mason registry from github. It still might be the cache from github but just opening this to make sure you are using USER/PROJECT/releases/latest to get the newest registry from releases.

Yet another release, same behavior. Even when /releases/latest redirects me to the latest release correctly, mason nvim still fetching an older version even when I manually remove the entire ~/.local/share/nvim/mason/registries directory.

It took exactly 30 minutes for new changes to show up. Looks like some caching mechanism to me?
