   does wordpress 2.7 automatically redirect old slugs to new slugs when you change them?

   how do you mean re-direct?
   if you update your permalinks - then yes it automatically resets everything.

   got the answer by doing the experiment...
   so for example you made a post yesterday and forgot to change the slug and you published it already..

   then you try to change the slug to a new one the next day, somebody linked to the old slug and it gets accessed it will be redirected to the new one.

   yesterday:
   old-slug
   next day:
   new-slug

   after changing to the new slug:
   old-slug (gets redirected to the) new-slug

   no need for a plugin
