Preparing for Release of TiddlyWiki v5.3.7 on Monday 7th July 2025

[jeremyruston]

I am hoping to release TiddlyWiki v5.3.7 on Monday 7th July 2025. Before that happens we would appreciate as many people as possible helping with testing the new release.

This release is primarily made up of:

• Over 20 bug fixes
• Tweaks and fixes to the core palettes
• Updates for Chinese, French, German and Japanese language plugins
• A handful of other minor improvements

The prerelease is available at:

https://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease

There are several ways you can help with the testing:

• Visit the prerelease on the web, explore the release note and try out the new features. Let us know if the release note or documentation is not clear
• Use the prerelease upgrader at https://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/upgrade.html to make a test upgrade of your own single file wiki and try out your usual workflows. It is suggested that you use a copy of your real life wikis, ie complex wikis that you’ve tweaked and personalised over a long time, so that the new version is tested under tough conditions
• If using Node.js, download the prerelease from GitHub - TiddlyWiki/TiddlyWiki5: A self-contained JavaScript wiki for the browser, Node.js, AWS Lambda etc. and try it with your own data and plugins

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

Jeremy

Thanks @XLBilly I’ve merged #9102 and #9098, but have concerns with #9091.

It seems to be fine on my wiki, no RSOB!

I’ve tested nine wikis I own, and found no regressions.

I will try to find time to test some of the updated features, but none looks likely to have any real effect on the wikis I write.

I have a few older wikis that I would like to test, but they are currently in broken/incomplete states, and it’s harder to test them; I’ll attempt to do so over the weekend.

@jeremyruston Have you tried release beta tag on npm package like react react - npm

Also a nightly version could be auto-release on gh-action. I’d like to test the nightly package on tidgi.

At the moment I publish TiddlyWiki to npm using this batch script. It would be vastly preferable to use GitHub Actions, which would indeed give us more flexibility for publishing nightlies etc. Perhaps we can move this discussion to a GitHub ticket.
