Hi,
is this a bug or feature? When I delete a page, then it is not deleted from history (`SiteTree_versions` SQL table).

I think it's a bug. The deleted page cannot be accessed from CMS. Furthermore, when I create a new page (of different class), it can be assigned the same ID as the deleted page. This can cause problems.

i suppose that's the way it should work - see it as a backup which silverstripe is just lacking the UI to browse through. the versioned-entries of deleted pages shouldn't disturb anything (if you've got your auto_increment properly set up in mysql, it shouldn't get the same ID)

Lets suppose i have pages with IDs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. I delete the page with ID==5. I create a new page, and it has the ID==5. So, I have wrong autoincrement in MySQL? Should the SS sets the autoincrement during the installation?

The ID recycling of SilverStripe is something that needs to be fixed, and has been done so in one of our project-specific branches of SilverStripe.

Once that's fixed, we won't have these problems. And we can look at building an interface for observing historical pages in the CMS.

Ingo - do you perhaps want to get the GSoCer that is doing database work to merge this into the stable core? (Brian's the mentor).
