Comment(by koki):

 I just noticed that the tags for all pages have been overwritten with the
 same tag data from the front page. This is not how HTML tagging worked
 before, nor the way it is intended to work. The original configuration was
 such that:

 1) The front page had its own set of data for the keywords, description,
 and copyright tags, customizable from the admin area.

 2) Each individual node would automatically inherit the node teaser as the
 description tag and prefix the taxonomy entries to the default keywords
 tag. In each node, every tag could be overridden manually (customized) as
 needed from the node edit window, to maximize the SEO effect for very
 specific pages (for example, among others, the Get Haiku page had a more
 explicit custom description the would appear below the link in a Google
 search).

 Now that all pages seem to have the same tag data, you will not get the
 desired SEO effect.

 Given that the previous version of the updated module was working nicely
 and without any glitches, can we just revert to the previous version and
 recover the original tag data? I don't see the point of updating a module
 to a version that breaks functionality so badly.
