Hi Danielo, I think you overreact.
1) TW is open source software. You don't have to pay for it and you can influence the development. Be grateful that Jeremy spend so much time in the development of TW, a piece of software that is unique. 2) TW is in beta. It means in principle everything could change. Read the roadmap! *Roadmap* TiddlyWiki is under rapid development at the moment as it moves through beta to a full release. That is the point at which it is declared stable enough for general use. It will continue to improve and evolve, but constrained to remain backwards compatible so that plugins and content created for version 5.0 will continue to work into the future. So, if you cannot live with changes in the beta phase you have to wait to the stable release of September 20th. But do not complain in the way you did. I am grateful for the work you did for TW (I do use your Context search plugin daily). So keep going on with making plugins like the Encrypt tiddler, Keyboard snippets, Packplugin, Import tools, ... I also have a lot of personal TW's that need to be upgraded/converted (besides my 7 guides at TiddlySpot). I don't complain; it is just part of my learning process. When I started about a year ago I knew a lot would change and I accepted that. So, stay part of the TW family ;-) Cheers, Ton On Tuesday, September 2, 2014 4:10:51 PM UTC+2, Danielo Rodríguez wrote: > > I think this sentence is depressing: > > we've adopted new prefixes for messages, classes and variables that mean >> that this release will break almost all plugins and customisations created >> for earlier versions. > > > Specially the part > > we've adopted new prefixes for messages, classes and variables > > > I find it a very poor explanation for something that breaks "all plugins > and customisations".
