Hello Glen, It will be great that we should introduce this in roller 5.1 but what about the roller 5.0 users, as I am using roller 5.0 and just have completly integrated in my another application so how I should go, I am finding the solution for the urls with dashes so that i can finally make it live.
So, what Can I do to implement it in roller 5.0, If there are to be changes in code I can customize for my application.
