Font update, which fields to change to keep font names and avoid caching of old font

dimitre

I'm updating an old font of mine in Fontforge so I want to know which fields to change to avoid caching issues of different places (OS preview, Illustrator, Printers, etc)
I suppose some fields are family-wide (like font.version) and some others unique to the file (like font.uniqueid).
Do you change the filename when releasing updates (not a new release) ?
Thanks
