These are all very impressive improvements, but the first improvement I noticed wasn't listed. I noticed that the x buttons to close items listed in the "open" tab are visible now! It's amazing how such subtle things can feel so big.
I really like the color palette helper! I can't wait until there are some more easy to adjust and add theme options, like a TWC look, with an additional column and top bar, and especially an easier way to compact everything, without all the wide open empty vertical and horizontal space (especially in the sidebar). I know some people like it that way though, which is great. Excellent work all around though! Speaking of themes, Personally, I like having the contents of the "open" bar in a Tiddlersbar sort of look, so I can always see it, and not have to switch tabs for it. I imagine that would be achievable through a different theme though. A bit beyond my skill. One final thing though. The term "Autosaving." When used in Tiddlywiki context, it means something different than it usually means everywhere else. Everywhere else, it means that the document saves a backup of your work automatically while you're typing, without you having to save anything manually. In TiddlyWiki, it means that whenever you manually save a tiddler, it automatically saves the tiddlywiki file too. I'd like to suggest some change in terminology, to avoid confusing newcomers. It certainly confused me for a long time. Perhaps calling it "quick saving" or something? Standard autosaving is still something I'd love to see, but that's probably quite a few versions away. Poul implemented it in giewiki (actually at my request 3 years ago!), but it sort of freezes for a moment whenever it does it. If TW5 ever got it, I hope it avoids that issue. Anyway, Cheers, and very well done! I look forward to the next one! Very exciting stuff. -Leo On Friday, February 28, 2014 9:07:04 AM UTC-7, Jeremy Ruston wrote: > > TiddlyWiki 5.0.8-beta has just been released at: > > http://tiddlywiki.com/ > > Particular thanks to Mario Pietsch, Stephan Hradek, Xavier Cazin, Bram > Chen and Daniel Barrett for their GitHub contributions to this release.
