>From the Validation Plugin v1.2 changelog: * Added feature to merge min + max into and range and minlength + maxlength into rangelength
While a great idea, this unfortunately means its impossible to have separate error messages if needed. Personally, I prefer to use separate error messages when using a wide range - I think this makes it more usable to the end-user. For example, showing "Please enter at least 2 characters" is far more usable than showing "Please enter between 2 and 1000 characters". I'm not suggesting the complete removal of this behavior, just to give an option to either enable or disable it. Until then, its a simple enough hack to just remove/comment-out the relevant part of the normalizeRules function.
