Hello there, First of all, advance Merry Christmas to you all. May your days be merry, nights be comforting, pursuits be rewarding, and life be fulfilling.
This is to announce the second and hopefully last major version bump of Timimi. There are some very exciting features in this release. Installation: Please see: https://ibnishak.github.io/Timimi/#Installing%20Timimi Important: Those of you who installed the prerelease version should uninstall the browser addon and host before installing the release version. What is new. - As I mentioned in a post above, the native messaging API can be utilised to allow Tiddlywiki to interact with the system. We have successfully implemented the feature in this release. With the help of a widget made for the purpose, you can launch any non-root, non-admin scripts or programs right from your Tiddlywiki. This is an important milestone as it will enable you to utilise the functionality of other programs to analyse, create and add data to your Tiddlywiki. Usage and more info: https://ibnishak.github.io/Timimi/#Launching%20scripts%20using%20timimi - Secondly, this release allows you to make backups. You can have your choice of backup strategies between tower of Hanoi, every nth save, or every nth minute. You can choose between relative and absolute paths for backups. Usage and Info: https://ibnishak.github.io/Timimi/#General%20guide%20to%20making%20backups - All these features are implemented in the host side, keeping the browser addon to a measly 13KB ( a chunk of which is the settings page HTML and CSS). This ensures that your browser remains light and free.
