Detail

REVINFO now shows UnknownUser for topics last saved by a non registered user.

This is an absolute NO-NO for corporate use and a release blocker of the big ones.

We have discussed this before when the UnknownUser first materialized itself. It is not acceptable that you cannot see who edited a page. The whole soft security of TWiki is built on knowing who edited. And it is not a requirement to register when you use e.g. an LDAP authenticated site.

It is the change for Item5871 that caused it.

It turned out that I was running with $TWiki::cfg{PasswordManager} = 'TWiki::Users::HtPasswdUser'

When you run it set to None you see the Author. And that is the case where it is important.

Fixed it properly, honouring the {RenderLoggedInButUnknownUsers} setting as well. marking Waiting for Release because it's better than before!
