I’m delighted to announce the release of TiddlyWiki v5.3.7 at:

https://tiddlywiki.com/

There are 29 important bug fixes in this release, and a handful of new or updated features. The highlights include:

  • The new TiddlyWiki Surveys edition at https://tiddlywiki.com/surveys.html is a home for surveys and interviews with the TiddlyWiki community. There will be a new 2025 survey soon, but in the meantime you can read the results of the Great Viral TiddlyWiki Interview Project from 2010
  • The new Wiki Information tab in the control panel provides a convenient way to view and copy key configuration information about your wiki. This is useful for debugging and support purposes. Find it in $:/ControlPanel under the “Info” tab
  • Updates to the Chinese, French, German, Greek and Japanese translations
  • CodeMirror plugin updated to v5.65.19
  • New hidden setting for the default type for missing tiddlers
  • New control panel setting to specify the default tiddler info tab
  • Support for images in AVIF format

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.

Any questions and comments are welcome here or via GitHub.

I’d also like to invite everyone to reply here about their favourite fix or feature.

Best wishes

Jeremy

Yeehaw! Thank you Jeremy!!!

Gotta say the “Wiki Information Tab” sounds like a great idea, and how clever to wrap it in <details>!

Was there a change that would effect the behaviour or order of a StartupAction and/or StartupActionBrowser. I have a theme that was configured to set $:/state/sidebar to ‘no’ on Startup, which did not worked until I upgraded to 5.3.7. I have other startup actions that also set it to ‘no’ (example: screen width is small). However, the theme setting was previous ignored in 5.3.6. Just curious since it is now working.

Thanks to all for the work.

Minor version string typo (space missing) (when viewed under the sidebar’s Tools tab): TiddlyWiki version5.3.7

probably stemming from the \whitespace trim ?
