<dd><code>name</code> - The name (template root directory relative path) of the template, already localized and normalized by
the <a href="../../freemarker/cache/TemplateCache.html" title="class in freemarker.cache"><code>cache</code></a>. It is completely up to the loader implementation to
interpret the name, however it should expect to receive hierarchical paths where path components are
separated by a slash (not backslash). Backslashes (or any other OS specific separator character) are
not considered as separators by FreeMarker, and thus they will not be replaced with slash before
passing to this method, so it's up to the template loader to handle them (say, by throwing an
exception that tells the user that the path (s)he has entered is invalid, as (s)he must use slash --
typical mistake of Windows users). The passed names are always considered relative to some
loader-defined root location (often referred as the "template root directory"), and will never start
with a slash, nor will they contain a path component consisting of either a single or a double dot --
these are all resolved by the template cache before passing the name to the loader. As a side effect,
paths that trivially reach outside template root directory, such as <tt>../my.ftl</tt>, will be
rejected by the template cache, so they never reach the template loader. Note again, that if the path
uses backslash as path separator instead of slash as (the template loader should not accept that), the
normalization will not properly happen, as FreeMarker (the cache) recognizes only the slashes as
separators.</dd>

reliably detect when a template was changed. The default is <code>null</code> only for backward compatibility,
and certainly will be changed to <code>false</code> in 2.4.0. As FreeMarker has its own template cache with its
own update delay setting (<a href="../../freemarker/template/Configuration.html#setTemplateUpdateDelay-int-"><code>Configuration.setTemplateUpdateDelay(int)</code></a>), setting this to <code>false</code>
shouldn't cause performance problems.
<p>Regarding <code>null</code> value: By default then <code>URLConnection.setUseCaches(boolean)</code> won't be called,
and so the default of the <code>URLConnection</code> subclass will be in effect (usually <code>true</code>). That's the
2.3.0-compatible mode. However, if <a href="../../freemarker/template/Configuration.html#getIncompatibleImprovements--"><code>Configuration.getIncompatibleImprovements()</code></a> is at least 2.3.21, then
when <code>Configuration.getTemplate</code> is used, <code>null</code> will mean <code>false</code>. Note that this 2.3.21 trick
