CORRECTION: Preparing for TiddlyWiki v5.3.6 on Friday 15th November (2024)

TiddlyWiki v5.3.6 is due to be released on Friday 15th November 2024. Before that happens we would appreciate everyone helping with testing the new release.

This release includes many smaller improvements that together take us a good deal further on our journey to improve (and fix) TiddlyWiki. Some of the highlights include:

  • New translations for “Chinese (Hong Kong)” and “English (Philippines)”
  • Improvements to the Chinese, Japanese, Spanish and Polish translations
  • The Geospatial Plugin gets support for custom wikitext popups to be attached to map features
  • The Markdown Plugin gets several usability updates and fixes to bring it closer to the capabilities of native wiki text
  • The TestCase widget gets a slew of improvements to make it easier to set up complex test cases
  • Added support for social media preview cards
  • Extended the “export” button so that it can be dragged to export the tiddlers to another wiki
  • Added an animation while lazily loaded tiddlers are being loaded
  • A control panel setting to configure the maximum number of tiddlers shown in the “recent” tab
  • A keyboard shortcut for opening the control panel (by default it is ctrl-alt-C)
  • Added support for HTTP Bearer authentication to the WidgetMessage: tm-http-request
  • Over 30 bug fixes

The prerelease is available at:

Any feedback is welcome here, or on GitHub.

Please wait until the official release before updating your day-to-day wikis, and remember the first rule of TiddlyWiki: to make sure to take (and verify) backups before doing anything risky.

Best wishes

Does nothing in Firefox on Win10. Works in Chromium (Brave).

Hello Jeremy,
Trying to print the current open tiddler, I obtained a good picture of the page within Tiddlywiki but all bold lines (and underlined words) are not printed on paper !
I have never tried with a previous release, so I am not able to say if it is peculiar to version 5.3.6.
I have included two screen copies of my experience.

Sincerely,

JCG

something is wrong with the day/date?

I guess so: December 12th will be a Thursday, not a Tuesday.

Ooops. A very silly mistake on my part: I mistyped “November” as “December” in the original GitHub ticket, and then somehow unquestioningly carried the mistake over here. I’ll update the OP in a moment – I am inclined to move the release date by a few days from the originally intended November 12th by a few days to give more time for the banner competition and the bug hunting.
