Hello dev team,
resently I understood that some of my TiddlyWikis should be updated to
the current version (2.6.5), but I want to review all the "functional"
changes ("changes for users", not necessarily those ones important for
developers). I tried to find the changelogs and found only the
changelog at [1] which stops at v2.6.2 and the fact that v2.6.3
"doesn't bring changes for users" (ok, let's not pick on words, no
offence meant) [2].
There were some topics about features of latest releases (for
instance, new template representation of the list macro at [3]), but I
can't find any specific topics like "TW 2.6.4 released", or a
changelog elsewhere. I tried "2.6.4", "2.6.5", "v2.6.4", "v2.6.5",
"released", "new version" keywords in both TiddlyWiki and
TiddlyWikiDev and found only the "Tentative 2.6.5 release" topic which
suggests that no "functional" things were added. In this sence, I'd
like to find the changelog of 2.6.4 which should have all those new
filters and template representation added.
The general question is whether I overlooked a changelog elsewhere and
the general suggestion is to create one at GitHub, if not. I think
this will also add more "where are we now" feeling.
***
Now I mentioned that I "understood that some of my TiddlyWikis should
be updated" which should reasonably rise the question "why only now"?
The general answer is the following:
I have many TWs and updating them all can be a long story, especially
regarding the problems of updating reported during some time
(although, almost all of my TWs are 2.6.0 so perhaps this wouldn't be
an issue). So as for now I think that updating is rather "on demand"
thing rather than "regular to do" one.
(further offtopic thoughts)
Moreover, this one more detail of the issue that rises again and
again: sharing between TWs -- of content, of settings, of plugins and
other extensions. While I expect that futher development of
IncludePlugin should solve most of these problems, I can't see such
perspective for core upgrade (probably because I'm not that familiar
with the update engine which can be also somehow tweaked with).
But afterall the following question arises: how much this "single html
file" concept is more important than "interTW interaction and
sharing"? Perhaps it's worth making core more like an editor for
files? I'm absolutely for this (also because different "editors" are
usefull for different types of devices) but here I have one big issue:
can such approach be made without making loading TW over http even
slower?
***
I'd like to mention that "big tiddlers in Opera" bug [4] seems to be
gone in TiddlyWiki v2.6.5. On the other hand, import doesn't work at
all (in Opera 11.61; error message: "Error retrieving tiddlers from
url, please ensure this url exists and is CORS enabled"); the "CORS"
is a link to [5], but it's not as helpful, I'd expect (in fact, I
don't understand anything there, but suspect that this is about
importing over http while I've tried to import from a local TW). The
same thing with FireFox 9.0.1.
I tried to update one document (v2.6.0) in Opera, and got "Error with
the new core code", the same in FireFox.
Hmm.. so now the only way to update is to use Jon's TiddlyFileImportr
[6] which worked fine for me.
