[tw5] Announcing the release of TiddlyWiki v5.2.2

I’m delighted to announce the release of TiddlyWiki v5.2.2 at:

https://tiddlywiki.com/

The release is taking place now because of a serious bug affecting Chrome and Edge versions 100 and 101. The bug makes it impossible to click the edit toolbar buttons when editing a tiddler with these versions. As far as we can tell, other functionality is unaffected.

Therefore it is strongly recommended to upgrade any wikis that are expected to be edited by Chrome or Edge users on those versions.

Besides the fix for the Chrome/Edge issue, there are a number of other exciting changes:

  • An updated highlight plugin with support for more languages
  • Fixing a long term bug with the ordering of tagged tiddlers
  • A new shorthand syntax for setting CSS style properties
  • Extended secondary window support to include positioning new windows, and closing windows

See the release note for the full list of changes.

You can upgrade your existing single file wikis here:

For Node.js users, the new version is available on npm:

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

As ever, exercise caution when upgrading, and be careful to keep backup copies of everything important.

A huge thank you from me personally to all the contributors to this release who have given up their time and effort to make things better. There are lots of small improvements but the cumulative effect is to steadily increase the flexibility and reliability of TiddlyWiki.

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

Best wishes

Jeremy
