I`ve just upgraded from rather buggy version 1.12.9-beta9 to 6.x-2.0-alpha1. The only difference is that meta geo.position outputted at last...
But new problem is that meta robots doesn`t appear in the source code of page unless I edit particular node and put any setting except "index,follow". If I choose "noindex,follow" - meta robots appears, default "index,follow" does not.

Hi

even if I don't like this as well this is the intended behaviour because the robots directive defaults to "index, follow". So basically the meta entry is not needed. There should be many more issues like this.

Hi. Thanks. I`m somehow aware of that if meta robots not printed searchbot`s behaviour is to index and follow anyway. But it was getting printed in previous 1.12.9-beta9 version. I`m not sure reading any notes in 6.x-2.0-alpha1 version release info. It`s confusing anyway :-(

Yes this did changed some time ago and I had the same problems. Some SEO tools still tell me I should add the tag. But I think it is okay the way it is. Maybe open a documentation task or patch the documentation?
