Jeremy,
Thanks so much for this announcement so soon. Like always each new version
multiplies the possibilities and makes the task of learning get easier.
I expect users, enthusiasts and developers will all get a lot from this
release.
So but a few points for all readers to consider
- The mathematics and string operators will help develop solutions that
need just a little maths to make them very compelling
- The Local Storage plugin will enable read only wikis to;
- retain visitor settings or last opened tiddlers (although not
necessarily permanently)
- Let people load plugins and macros and reload an online wiki
- The innerwiki plugin can be used as intended to support screenshots
for documentation but you can also generate a wiki in a window from a
subset of tiddlers from the parent wiki. This will allow the generation of
wiki instances from a parent wiki
- The various string, match and condition operators will be more
intuitive for many and can simplify macros
- The hidden indexing performance enhancements can make a big difference
to speed and performance in complex code or larger lists.
- The = in filters to maintain duplicates are not only necessary for
some mathematics and string operators but will provide new and novel ways
to handle lists.
All in all one small step for tiddlywiki, one giant leap towards empowering
people with software.
Thanks once again
and best wishes to all those who sail in her (tiddlywiki that is)
Tony
