Why claim it yours then? You could post that in that plugin forum and thats it...
1) First of all XARIUS was there more than one month ago (Last Activity: 10th May 2009). Last plugin update was 17th Oct 2008. My first plugin update that i posted to his topic was 10th May 2009.

2) Second of all lets see some satistics. Original plugin source size is 31 Kb (after my changes it is now 46 Kb), my diff size is 30 Kb (attached), do you realy think it is just "fixing minor problems"? Original 1.2.1 version has 1132 lines, i have added 416 lines, 57 lines was deleted. Original dalto's plugin has 456 lines.

3) Third of all we have different beacons. I do not know what do XARIUS think about it, may be my changes is not what he wanted to implement. And if so - i need only to start new branch of this plugin.

4) Forth of all i did not claim any rights, ITS GPL (isn't it?).

5) Fifth of all i did not claim any rights, because of
Code:
    author = "XARiUS, Otstrel.Ru Team",
    url = "http://www.the-otc.com/, http://otstrel.ru"
6) Sixth of all and it is the main reason - lets XARIUS do make desicion by himself about my changes. If he will add all of them to trunk, than i will agree with you - second plugin is not needed at all. If he will not - than it is a diffent branch of his plugin.

7) Seventh of all people do not like to get through 18 pages to get latest version. Most people like to find latest version of plugin on the first page.

You even copied the same intro from that plugin
Does GPL licence deny that?
