I don't think that as a bug but just functionality that is not in place. I am prety sure that someone that know about the dmHtml could implement that also for the dmNews. I am gonna take a look later from home and if I figure it out I let you know. I am not a farcry expert but my guess is something in the PLP must be implemented. It is good to know if this is some functionality tha it may be in the near future releases otherwise we could customize it. Or perhaps if we customize it it could be easily implemented as a core code.
Historically, dynamic content types were seen as a kind of create and syndicate sort of content. For instance, you send out a news item -- its not updated rather a *new* news item is sent to follow as an update.
In theory contributors should not be able to modify approved news items -- it just happens its easier to have it set up that way in many scenarios. With regard to adding versioning -- this is certainly possible by extending the core news type. There are several sites in the wild running with this sort of configuration.
Rather than making versioning a part of all content types, perhaps we need to put together a clear how-to on how to change a dynamic content type (or any content for that matter) to be versioned.
Hope that helps,

live and the modified version to be back in draft mode waiting approval. Is
this bug? If this is intentional is there a way I can get around it? I want
contributors to have to get approval for any changes to live pages like with
the dmhtml type.
