Now I am at my desktop and not crippled by Google Groups on Mobile, I will
chip in and *thank the community* for another important release.
I have being using and reviewing features on the pre-release for some time
can can assure you all that there are immediate and slow burning advantages
to this new release.
- With search and replace, toggle and cycle operators it will be easier
to do some everyday actions on tiddler fields and status handling, I feel
this may take a little time for examples to filter out to the greater
audience but I also plan to showcase a few just as Mohammad did earlier.
- This also extends to importing and exporting data and text that
tiddlywiki refactors. Combine this with JSON mangler and the world of
data
is ours.
- The power operator now makes it easier to write macros to convert
between number bases eg decimal to hexadecimal
- new filter options will help easier to read filters to be written and
thus understand for those who think its a black art
- The tm-scroll message is going to solve the long sought need to
navigate within tiddler navigation, for those larger tiddlers.
- Allowing modifier keys such as ctrl, alt, meta is a nice way to
increase functionality of buttons and list navigation without any
additional screen real estate
- Slug handling will allow the generation of html pages and the zip
feature to bundle them, perhaps starting a new opportunity for TiddlyWiki
to generate sites
- Extended date handling, format operator and ancient dates will help
record deep history
- The sortsub operator will allow us to quickly sort on values other
than titles and even computed values.
- The filter and reduce operators introduce some handy ways to sum or
accumulate values across tiddlers.
- The Page and tiddler layout customisation may spark a new period of
alternative layouts, do publish ones you build if possible, and try and
ensure they cater for basic functions so they can be shared and used more
widely.
So I hope you are as excited as me about this release, there are many new
opportunities beyond what I listed above and I do encourage you all to
share some of your experiments.
