What happened to "Always refresh from server" in IE11 developer tools?

Do the F12 developer tools in Internet Explorer 11 also have the "Always refresh from server" feature of the developer tools in IE 8-10?

I see the "Clear browser cache... (Ctrl + R)" button on the Network tool, but clicking on it appears to do nothing (the Temporary Internet Files folder still has files in it afterward). I also have the "Check for newer versions of stored pages:" setting set to "Every time I visit the webpage", but this does not appear to always refresh external assets.

Can the cache be completely disabled in IE 11 for development?

For now I am just holding down the Ctrl key and clicking on the refresh button (per Wikipedia's instructions to bypass the cache), but this is easy to forget to do.

Refresh from Server button

It seems they have added the "Always Refresh from Server" button in the RTM version of IE11 that ships with Windows 8.1

It is found in the Network tab of the developer tools, 3rd button from the left.
