Announcing the release of TiddlyWiki v5.2.1

#1

I’m delighted to announce the release of TiddlyWiki v5.2.1 at:

https://tiddlywiki.com/

This release was brought forward in order to include critical bug fixes for problems with drag and drop on the latest Chrome 96 on Windows but has two significant new features:

  • A new, more flexible <$let> widget that should generally be used in preference to the existing <$vars> widget
  • A new cascade mechanism that makes it possible to cleanly give a tiddler a custom view template, amongst many other uses

Other improvements include:

  • Improved sidebar plugin listing (under More → Plugins)
  • A new hidden setting for controlling the visibility of the editor preview pane on a per-tiddler basis
  • New trigonometric operators: acos, asin, atan, cos, sin and tan
  • New ActionSetMultipleFieldsWidget, new SetMultipleVariablesWidget and extended ActionSendMessageWidget for working with multiple variables/fields/indexes/parameters in one operation
  • Improved Polish and Chinese translations

See the release note for the full list of changes.

You can upgrade your existing single file wikis here:

https://tiddlywiki.com/upgrade.html

For Node.js users, the new version is available on npm:

As ever, exercise caution when upgrading, and be careful to keep backup copies of everything important.

A big thank you to everyone out there who has helped with this release. We’re making very significant progress in improving the flexibility and extensibility of TiddlyWiki, and I’m excited to see what the community makes with the new features.

Any questions or comments are welcome here, or via GitHub.

Best wishes

Jeremy

All, I have improved my workflow for tiddlywiki single file upgrades again;

  • Open your TiddlyWiki in a browser tab if not already (save all changes)
  • Copy the address to your wiki from the browser address bar
  • Go to the Upgrade site https://tiddlywiki.com/upgrade.html , click the grey down arrow
  • When prompted for the filename ctrl-V (This will paste in your wikis address) Then Open
  • Hit the “Upgrade” Button, then “Save upgraded TiddlyWiki File” button.
  • When prompted again for the filename ctrl-V (This will paste in your wikis address), yes Overwrite Yes, Reload the upgrade tab if you want to do another and clear the update process
  • Return to the wiki in the browser and reload!

Now return to the top of this list for another TiddlyWiki

Regards
