JSLink (js) file in the masterpage gallery is caching the old version

Question

I am using sharepoint 2013 online (office 365). I am trying to following this simple JSLink tutorial: http://www.abhishan.com/create-project-dashboard-with-sharepoint-2013-js-link/
I have added a js file to the masterpage gallery like described in the tutorial. I also have created a custom list. I have created a new page and add the custom list as a webpart to this page. In the webpart settings I have add the path of my js file in
the masterpage gallery. Now I see it has some affect because I see some broken images. I changed the path of the images in the js file and upload it again in the same libray (masterpage gallery) and overwrite it. This has no affect. SP is still running the
old version.
I have checked the js file out and checked in. Still same problem.
I have remove the js file and add it again with another image path. SP is still using the old version of the js file.
I have wathed the file in SP designer and it is the latest version!
I have watched the source code of the page and see the following registration of the js file:
http://mycompany.sharepoint.com/sites/teams/_catalogs/masterpage/projectdashboard.js?ctag=102$$16.0.2607.1216
When I run this path in my browser and save and open the file I see the old version.
When I run the path below I have the same problem. The js file is the old version.
http://mycompany.sharepoint.com/sites/teams/_catalogs/masterpage/projectdashboard.js
I have started the browser FF and IE in private session, but have the same problem.
I have cleared the browser cache and have the same problem.

Hi,
According to your post, an problem occurred when you used JSLink in SharePoint Online 2013.
We can do as follows:
1. Check whether published the js file.
2. Create a document library(JSLibrary) and upload the js file in it.
3. Change the JSLink url in the web part settings.
~sitecollection/JSLibrary/ProjectDashboard.js
