[pmwiki-users] $Author from $AuthId in b26

[Roman]

Pmwiki 2.1b26 came with this change:

"Modified scripts/author.php so that $Author is automatically set from
$AuthId (unless overridden by a local config or by the author)."

What is the benefit of this change from user point of view? I expected
that when I login then Author field in edit form will be automatically
set from login name. But I still see the last used value from cookie.

Thanks, Roman
