It seems Uglify from @Flibbles does not work with new release. This is uglified empty.html with few tiddlers
Relink won’t work either. Not with any new syntax.
If I had known that by making those plugins, I was signing myself up for perpetual updates with every major release of TW, I… I probably still would have done it. I have a problem.
But those plugins will have to wait a minute. I’m working on other stuff right now. Taking a TW break for a while.
I agree with this. I strongly prefer wrapping of code blocks by default. I don’t like having to use the horizontal scrollbar on all the codebody: yes tiddlers.
But if that is the way it has to be, I can configure it in all my wikis post 5.4
The only complaint I have so far is that the shadow $:/themes/tiddlywiki/vanilla/options/codewrapping text was changed from pre-wrap to pre in the core. This was an issue for me, because probably due to some of my modifications the pre setting doesn’t look well with longer code lines flowing out of the tiddler area to the right. Everything is as it used to be on the pre-wrap setting.
If the default setting was changed on purpose, I’m alright with that, I can imagine why the no wrap could be better as default.
Edit: I found the PR that changed this default: [v5.4.0] Update configuration defaults by Jermolene · Pull Request #9107 · TiddlyWiki/TiddlyWiki5 · GitHub
There is some discussion too. So if you disagree with the new default – Lets us know.
But is did not change the default shadow. I can not find the PR, that changed this value. … That’s strange.
IMO the default should be “Wrap long lines in code blocks : Yes” … We only needed to change this one for easy testing the PR.
Long lines should look like this. … So if your wiki shows text outside of the tiddler, you need to check your Style sheet settings.
The default can be changed in
ControlPanel → Appearence → Theme Tweaks → Warp long lines in code blocks
Tested on my main wiki and nothing looks broken.
Not having the tidgraph problem reported above.
Pre-release documentation for Calls says:
Calls can be used in filters. The text is not wikified which again means that the parameters will be ignored.
Testing using <<now>> macro with : vs = param handling:
<$let fmt="YYYY0MM0DD0hh0mm0ss0XXX">
#literal unnamed param<br><<now YYYY0MM0DD0hh0mm0ss0XXX>>
#literal named param using `:`<br><<now format:'YYYY0MM0DD0hh0mm0ss0XXX'>>
#variable named param using `=`<br><<now format=<<fmt>>>>
#filter with unnamed param<br><$list filter="[<now YYYY0MM0DD0hh0mm0ss0XXX>]"><<currentTiddler>></$list>
#filter with literal named param using `:`<br><$list filter="[<now format:'YYYY0MM0DD0hh0mm0ss0XXX'>]"><<currentTiddler>></$list>
#filter with variable named param using `=`<br><$list filter="[<now format=<<fmt>>>]"><<currentTiddler>></$list>
produces this output:
literal unnamed param
20260224084305886
literal named param using :
20260224084305886
variable named param using =
20260224084305886
filter with unnamed param
20260224084305886
filter with literal named param using :
20260224084305886
filter with variable named param using =
Filter error: Missing [ in filter expression
Thus, calls in filters using the unnamed param or : literal named param syntax still work, even though Calls seems to say otherwise.
Multi-valued variables clarification: do filter operators each have to be individually updated in order to support MVVs?
The MVV docs say “Certain filter operators can accept multi-valued parameters: function Operator, title Operator”. Does that mean that these are the only operators that will understand MVVs, and everything else treats them as single values?
(If so, that severely limits their possibilities…)

Most operators operate on input and don’t make much use of parameters. Only parameters need special support for handling MVV. Which operators did you have in mind which you want to pass MVV as parameter?
A few notes I’ve found running the updater against my wiki. 5.4.0 RSOEs my wiki currently:
- the “Vis” plugin from @Flibbles’s graph plugin complains when updating a wiki (but I can’t reproduce in the sample for that plugin):
[Error] Script error.
(anonymous function) (upgrade-4.html:5208)
(anonymous function) (upgrade-4.html:5260)
(anonymous function) ($:/plugins/flibbles/vis-network/vis.js:39)
- Maybe related, or unrelated, but I hit an error in the transclusion widget immediately after:
[Error] ReferenceError: Can't find variable: alt

I’ll see if I can get a minimal reproducing case for this (this is a private wiki).

If by any chance you use the markdown plugin, this error about the alt variable may be related to an issue I just patched.
