[ckan-dev] CKAN 1.7 released

Thu May 10 15:41:56 UTC 2012

Hi,

Great, glad that fixed it for you.  

There was some discussion the other day about making this on by default, which may be the right thing to do, but your solution might be a suitable compromise in the meantime.  I'll run it past the team and see what everyone thinks.

Cheers

Ross
