I have done some bug fixes and a lot of ui improvements so that features that have been available in Bob for a long time are easier to set up and use.
The biggest things are toggling access to the wikis from the local network, setting up the local file server for media, serving files from multiple folders, setting up the server images plugin, and an interface to let you scan a folder for media files, add that folder to the list of folders served by the file server and create _canonical_uri tiddlers for each file in a wiki. There are also some other ui improvements, the dirty indicator should actually indicate if there are unsaved changes or not now, there is a warning if you open a wiki that isn't able to establish a web socket connection to the server and the persistent questions from the browser about if you want to close the tab or not may actually be taken care of now. There is also a chat interface that works with both local and federated chat. Connecting to remote servers for the federated part is not particularly simple for the moment, but I didn't feel like removing the interface from everything for the release. So have fun.

Version 1.3.0 Tofurkey * maybe actually set the SaverFilter tiddler correctly * start documentation on inter-server federation and syncing * Add local chat ** different people using the same wiki served by a Bob server can have a real-time chat. * Add federated chat ** People on different servers can chat with each other ** Limited utility due to server discoverability and NAT shenanigans * Hopefully fix the problems with saving .tid files that have unsorted tags * split out routes into separate files ** this may allow doing things like enabling the file server without restarting the server. * Started a hopefully better interface for federated things. * Add some advanced settings ** local message queue timeout ** federated message queue timeout ** saveTiddlerDelay * Added a server route for uploading files. ** The browser hook is still in the ServerImages plugin, I may move it into Bob later. * Add a warning that the wiki hasn't connected to the server at startup ** the warning goes away as soon as the wiki connects to the server * The dirty indicator is changed to show dirty when there are messages in the send queue and clean when the queue is empty. * The resync has been modified, it may work inconsistently * Added easier way to turn on/off serving on the local network ** Go to the control panel -> Bob Settings -> Server tab for instructions * Added an easier way to turn on/off the static file server ** Go to the control panel -> Bob Settings -> Server tab -> File Server tab for instructions * Added an interface for adding multiple folders to serve media, see `Serving Files and Images` in the Bob documentation. * Improved the mediaScan so that it can scan any folder and serve the files in them. ** This breaks the previous `filePathRoot` setup method -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
