Automatic Alias Generation: Hyphens versus Underscores in 9.1 and 9.2

Hi all,
I can’t find any mention of this in the forums, but has anybody noticed that somewhere between 0.9.1 and 0.9.2.1 the "Automatically Generate Alias" started using underscores instead of hyphens (dashes)?

So, if a page was "this is fun", 9.1 would create "this-is-fun", and 9.2.1 creates "this_is_fun".

It seems like the hyphen is preferable to the underscore for SEO purposes, and I personally prefer it for aesthetic reasons. And for consistency’s sake, I’d prefer the hyphen as well, so new content aliases don’t get all inconsistent after an upgrade.

So, without getting into a flame war about which is better, can somebody direct me to the code that will allow me to change this back to the 9.1 convention? It should be easy enough to change back, but I have no idea where to look.

Thanks!

It’s been mentioned a couple of times and has been switched to hyphens in the current code repository.

Sorry, couldn’t find any mention of it. Of course, I bet if I search now I’ll find a dozen posts.

Thanks for that link (and the fix), zi. I just wasn’t finding that post. Greatly appreciated.
