And Gmail would have the same problem. But to date, I have never seen Gmail ask to refresh..

I think how Gmail handles the problem is they keep multiple instances of the server-side software running, one for each version of the API. From my experience, whenever GMail rolls out a new feature, I don't see it until I do a refresh and frequently that's what GMail tells me I need to do to see the new feature.
