Although I am not completely sure if this is the right thread, here are my 2 cents:
The "ordinary" user of TW, the ones that just use it as their scrapbook or GTD-tool, as a blog or as a website, or whatever TWs are used for, will in general not be interested in the latest and greatest TW version. Even more when a new version does not deliver any functionality (like v2.5.0). These are the people for which the "upgrade"-functionality in the "backstage" was rightfully created. Developers and Plugin-writers on the contrary love to get a version with new techniques built in (like jQuery) and prefer to get the latest, even if not fully tested yet. These type of folks don't need the backstage-feature to upgrade their stuff automatically. They have the knowledge to upgrade their TWs to whatever version in whatever way. In conclusion: I am very much in favour of an approach in which we have a so called "stable" version. It should at the same time be the version that your TW is upgraded with if you perform the upgrade- backstage-function. In the current situation that would i.m.o. definitely be TW v2.4.3. So please, for the benefit of the thousends make TW v2.4.3 available with the automatic upgrade-function (and call it something like "latest stable release"). And, yes for the techies, find an alternative distribution channel and give them TW v2.5.0 (although a version-number starting with 3 would be better and more clearly mark the new jQuery wave), and call it e.g. "developers release". Thanks for you attention, and w/best rgrds, Ton van Rooijen. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWikiDev" group.
