Hello folks,

The last entry in the 8.1 changelogs says this:

> **6429: Moving a Tag with History causes duplicate sqlth\_te records to get created**  
> Fixed moving tags with history creating duplicate sqlth\_te records.

I'd like some precisions on this.  
Does it mean that moving a tag will now preserve its history ?  
That the `sqlth_te` entry for this tag will be updated to reflect its new path, instead of retiring it and creating a new one ?

That's a major improvement !

I'm sorry, but what clarifications added to what post ?  
I couldn't find anything about it, which is why I posted this in the first place.

Huh. The clarifications I saw last night ~~have been edited away. /: And the edit history suppressed. /:~~ were on another post.
