Greetings all!
I'm very pleased to announce that TiddlyWiki Classic version 2.9.0 BETA1 is
now available for download and testing, here:
http://classic.tiddlywiki.com/beta
This long-delayed update to TiddlyWiki Classic includes fixes or
improvements for open issues and pull requests related to some common
problems encountered by TiddlyWiki users, authors and developers. Here's a
quick list of items that have been resolved:
112: Allow international characters and leading/trailing whitespace in
slice names
132: URLs containing square brackets not recognized
147: Transclusion problem on startup
154: Parametric transclusion doesn't work properly with refreshing
156: Fix javaDebugInformation function
157: Improve the String.prototype.escapeRegExp utility
159: Cookies are not working in Opera
160: Remove the syncing item from the default ToolbarCommands
161: Make new tiddlers open below below the one containing newTiddler macro
162: Substitute missing arguments of parametric transclusions with an empty
line
166: Use default editmode text for themes with non-standard template names
Please download this BETA release at your earliest opportunity and test
using content from your existing TiddlyWiki Classic documents to verify
that these changes correct any problems you were experiencing while not
introducing any new problems for documents that was previously working as
desired.
The plan is to make a full release of TW290 as soon as it can be confirmed
that the update does not break AMBIT (http://ambit.tiddlyspace.com), a
TiddlySpace-based application that is being used daily by a large, active
user base of over 1000 mental health care providers throughout the UK.
Hopefully, the AMBIT testing and verification process can be completed
quickly, so TW290 can be promoted to full release within the next few weeks
(or even sooner).
Moving forward beyond TW2.9.0....
While the existing "ecosystem" of TiddlyWiki Classic offers a rich
environment of mature plugins and document "applications" that will
continue to provide a great deal of value and utility for some time to
come, there is currently no intention to add significant new code or
features to the TiddlyWiki Classic core codebase, as the future of
TiddlyWiki clearly lies with the power of TiddlyWiki5.
Nevertheless, there are still some currently open issues and pull requests
for TiddlyWiki Classic, and any new problems with TiddlyWiki Classic should
continue to be reported. The plan is to make a few, more frequent,
incremental updates (e.g., TW291, 292, etc.) while TiddlyWiki5 continues
its progress towards a stable mainstream release. Once that occurs, a
"final" update to TiddlyWiki Classic... version 3.0.0... will be built and
released.
Of course, I will continue to provide online help and support for existing
TiddlyWiki Classic documents and plugins for the foreseeable future, as
long as there a need for that help. However, once TW5 is out of beta, my
primary focus will shift to creating and publishing a TW5 version of
TiddlyTools and developing new plugins for TiddlyWiki5, as well as writing
TiddlyWiki5 documentation (perhaps an actual book?!?) and providing user
support for the "migration path" from TiddlyWiki Classic to TiddlyWiki5
(i.e., guidelines and scripts for converting existing documents).
enjoy,
-e
