[solved] Github question about a tiddler

Developers
#1

Do I understand this github page correctly? - Does it show that the tiddler “$:/core/ui/ViewTemplate/body/import” has been updated three times - July '24, March '22, Nov '21 - yes? And prior to that, the tiddler had a slightly different name?

Assuming my interpretation is correct, is there a quick way to identify which TW core versions that, respectively, first incorporated those three variants of the tiddler? Or must I, for that, do manual matching with the official TW release dates?

Thank you!

take a look at Blaming TiddlyWiki5/core/ui/ViewTemplate/body/import.tid at master · TiddlyWiki/TiddlyWiki5 · GitHub for the full history.

Yes, the file has been move to the body/ directory and got the name: $:/core/ui/ViewTemplate/body/import

The rename took place in the git repo at 15th Nov. 2021, which can be seen in the commit message.

The TW archive gives you the release dates.
So IMO v5.2.1 released: 8th Dec. 2021 should be the version with the change.

Dev-details like this one should better be discussed at GitHub - Discussion or as an Issue if it is one.

Oh… my goal is to match official TW core versions with their matching variants of that tiddler, e.g:

  • TW 3.7-3.5 use the latest version of the tiddler
  • TW 3.4-2.6 use the previous version
  • …etc, back to when the tiddler changed name (“v5.2.1” in Dec '21 - thanks @pmario )

What would be a good way to find this info? (…becuse the list I initially linked to has three dates after “Nov '21”, ca 4 years ago, but the list @buggyj links has five dates for even less than 4 years ago. And according to @pmario 's archive link, there have been some 15 core plugin releases since “Dec '21” … )

Again, thank you!

Why would you do that?

@buggyj @pmario - the intricacy of this forced me to figure out an alternative route, so the question can be considered solved. Thank you for your input which was needed for me to solve it.

Now where is that “solved” button here? How do I mark this thread as solved? I don’t want anyone more to respond to the OP when it is now solved.

OK, since you ask: I’m working on a plugin (for this matter) and I need to inject a macrocall in a particular position in the aforementioned tiddler… but realized that it was very fragile since that tiddler changed depending on versions… and given the very nature of the plugin I’m working on, there’s a big chance people would use it for previous TW versions… so the OP question was to counter this problem by adapting the position for the injection depending on version.
