Announcing TiddlyWiki 2.5.1 Beta 2

[Jeremy Ruston]

We've just released another beta of TiddlyWiki 2.5.1 at:

http://www.tiddlywiki.com/beta/

As ever, we'd appreciate any testing and bug reports very much. This
release brings quite a lot of changes to the file saving code, which
needs careful verification in the field. In the meantime, as ever,
don't use the beta for anything important.

The big change is the start of the process of breaking off some of the
unique bits of functionality that TiddlyWiki possesses into separate
jQuery plugins that can be used by other developers in other projects.
Besides being good to bring things like local file operations to a
wider audience, part of the benefit will be that these pieces of code
will improve through wider usage. For this release, we've concentrated
on TiddlyWiki's cryptographic library, stylesheet manipulation
functions, and local file system code. We're working on documentation
and standalone documentation.

Besides the pluginification, there's the usual mix of bug fixes and tweaks:

- Improved separators and "more/less" extenders for toolbars
- Added plugin version information to the PluginManager
- Fixed Tags macro to respect the excludeLists tag
- Fixed problem with saving of extended tiddler fields

For the full list of changes see http://trac.tiddlywiki.org/wiki/History

Many thanks to the contributors and testers for this release. Please
let us have any comments here,

Cheers

Jeremy

Fantastic.

Well done folks. This is a great development. I'm keen to experiment
with the plugins that are being developed and to play with this new
build.

Bravo.
Phil

Since there do not seem to be any issues with this beta, we're about
ready to release v2.5.1 final.

However, we should first finish the basic documentation[1] for our
jQuery plugins, which should not take more than a few days.

As for the recently reported cookies issue in Firefox[2], we definitely
need to address that, but this should not delay the 2.5.1 release.

Thoughts?
