In the path_redirect options there is one which says "Automatically create redirects when URL aliases are changed" which is checked by default.
In the pathauto there is an option under the General Settings | Update action there are 4 options of which the default is "Create a new alias. Delete the old alias."
If that option is set will path_redirect handle the switch automatically?
If the pathauto option is "Create a new alias. Redirect from old alias." will the redirect be handled by path_redirect under its own default options?
In short do the two cooperate or work independently?
When I changed the title of a post , pathauto deleted the original alias under its default setting, and path_redirect did nothing under its defaults. I had to add it manually.
I guess this query belongs in both issue queues?

My understanding that path_redirect is a way of stopping different links from pointing to identical content
