I’m delighted to announce the release of TiddlyWiki v5.3.4 at:

https://tiddlywiki.com/

Some of the major features of the new release are:

  • New Test Case widget for making interactive examples for documentation and testing
  • New Tour plugin for building interactive tours - try it out at https://tiddlywiki.com/tour
  • New Geospatial plugin bringing maps and geospatial calculations to TiddlyWiki - try it out at https://tiddlywiki.com/plugins/tiddlywiki/geospatial/
  • Many other bug fixes
  • New plugin stability badges making it easier to understand the status of a plugin
  • New transcludes and backtranscludes filter operators that work analogously to the links and backlinks operators except for transclusions instead of links
  • Improved “Red Screen of Embarrassment” with a button to download all tiddlers as a JSON file
  • Many bug fixes

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 at https://www.npmjs.com/package/tiddlywiki

As usual, please exercise caution when upgrading, and take care to keep backup copies of everything important.

My thanks to everyone who contributed to this release, from code contributions to feedback. We’re phenomenally lucky to have so many people willing to help, and it is much appreciated. Congratulations also to @duarte.framos for their winning design for the new release banner (see below).

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

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Hi Jermey.

Congratulations! TiddlyWiki is more powerful now! TW 5.3.4 now has all features for creating a real Zettelkasten edition.

Many thanks for all your efforts.

A big thank you to Jeremy! I’ve been tagging along on this ride since 2007 and it is fantastic.

(You mean the Confetti plugin? Like printing out those tiddlers into actual paper zettels and throwing them up in the air?)

You’re time-traveling a bit here… Where’d you leave the Tardis? :wink:

I am using TiddlyWiki on Node.js, it’s been great. I followed instructions at Upgrading TiddlyWiki on Node.js, making sure to stop the server before doing the upgrade.

  • $:/ControlPanel shows TiddlyWiki version 5.3.4
  • command tiddlywiki --version reports 5.3.4
  • sudo npm info tiddlywiki shows dist-tags: latest: 5.3.4

However, I don’t see the result of my GitHub pull request in the “Get more plugins” popup (i.e. the “here” link is still broken). The PR was included in 5.3.4 release, see comparison to 5.3.3.

What am I doing wrong? For reference, the folder of my wiki was initialized via tiddlywiki --init server at the end of December 2023. Unfortunately, I don’t remember what was the version of TiddlyWiki at the time, and I couldn’t find npm log files to check. This was my second upgrade – I also upgraded to 5.3.3 three weeks ago, but I didn’t do any similar checks then.

Hi @andrybak

Ouch, I am afraid that what has happened is that your PR was applied after feat: t macro and docs by linonetwo · Pull Request #7821 · Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5 · GitHub, a big PR from @linonetwo that made the tiddlyweb plugin translatable. However, we encountered some problems and ended up reverting 7821 in Revert #7821 · Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5@4ca883f · GitHub.

I am afraid that it was my mistake that I missed that in the interim there had been an update that should be maintained.

I’ve re-applied the change in Re-apply "Link to correct plugin instructions for Node.js #8246" · Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5@6554b5c · GitHub

I guess that’s just the same merge conflicts I brought up in the PR. No big deal.

Cool, thank you.
