RELEASE NOTES:
* Fixed bug with page names including hyphens. If an existing page was
named "sometext-moretext" and one created a new page called
"sometext", Pixie erroneously renamed it to "sometext-1".
Have fun!

Hi NP,
Please read the GNU GPL V3 to learn how to fork code without breaking
the licensing terms to which you agreed to by installing the software.
In particular, I turn your attention to the following sections :
To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of
an
exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
authors of previous versions.
Releasing your fork using a name that contains the word Pixie, coupled
with a release string that has already been used by the Pixie CMS
project, creates confusion and therefore breaks your agreement with
Scott, the copyright holder of the original source code because
problems may easily be attributed erroneously to the author of the
original version.
Also, you do not seem to be providing a link to the repository that
contains your modified source code so that we can view your commits,
view the changes and merge any back into the main project.
So either please fork Pixie properly or join the Pixie development
team and contribute directly.
We have absolutely no problem with you distributing verbatim copies of
Pixie with no changes or clearly marked modified versions of Pixie but
your current message indicates fully that you have violated the GNU
GPL V3 which you agreed to when you installed the software. I'm sure
Scott's not interested in suing you for breaking the license but I
cannot speak for him and you should correct your mistake.
Couple that with completely inappropriate timing to advertise code
that was fixed months ago on the week of a release is extremely
inappropriate.
Please rename your fork of Pixie CMS and stop advertising your changes
to code that is only suitable for php 4 or contact Scott about
contributing directly to the project.
The GNU GPL V3 is not just about providing users and developers of
software with freedom and protecting that freedom. It is also about
protecting the copyright of developers and contributors too.
Please read, understand and respect the license.
Thank You,
Tony
