Today we're releasing a new free Magento extension for developers - Fontis_Router. This is a low-level extension designed to provide better routing for other extensions that want pretty URLs. Its purpose is to stop Magento from automatically routing requests for things like /blog/post/view/id/1. It is then up to the developer to implement their own router class to ensure that only the URLs they want to be considered valid are accepted.

The extension is available now for download on our website, and documentation on how to make use of this extension is available from within your account once the extension has been added. You can also browse the source on GitHub.

Fontis_Router is open source, and as always, contributions from the community via GitHub are most welcome.
