Announcement: TiddlyWiki 2.6.6 Beta 1

[Eric Shulman]

Greetings All!

I'm pleased to announce that TiddlyWiki v2.6.6 has been advanced from
ALPHA to BETA status, and is now available for download and testing
from:
http://tiddlywiki.com/beta

This BETA build is identical to the ALPHA build posted last month, and
is merely the next step on the way towards full release. Please
download the BETA build and then migrate your document content (by
importing into a new TW266 empty.html) to confirm that no significant
problems arise. If nothing major is reported by the TW community over
the next few weeks, you can expect TW266 to "go gold" sometime around
mid-September.

The next update after TW266 will be TW270 ALPHA, which will hopefully
include some fixes and/or workarounds to the various file I/O (saving/
loading) problems that have been caused by changes in browser
technology. If all goes well, I expect to post TW270A sometime in
early to mid October (depending, of course, on how well the
development/debugging process goes).

enjoy,

Hi Cmari,

The file can be downloaded with wget, needs to be installed. Just google for it.
Use following command form the command line:

wget http://tiddlywiki.com/beta/

I just noted that you van attache files now, so I will give it a try.

No worries, Okido

Not a dumb question at all!

The main release of TiddlyWiki.com includes a "download" button in the
MainMenu (using DownloadTiddlyWikiPlugin). However, the alpha and
beta builds do not include all the standard tiddler content that is in
the main index.html, so there isn't any single-click-to-download
button displayed in the MainMenu.

However, you don't actually need the button to trigger a download.
All you need is to visit:
http://www.TiddlyWiki.com/beta/empty.zip
(contains both empty.html and TiddlySaver.jar)
Because .zip files are not handled directly by the browser, it will
simply ask you where to save it (or save it to the default download
location you have set for your browser). Once it is stored locally,
you can unzip the file and proceed as usual with a copy of the
empty.html.

enjoy,

Thanks Eric, that makes live easier.

I used the 2.6.6 alpha for sometime and did not ran in any trouble.
The file I uploaded here has expanded in size about 10k, text wise they are identical, but binare not.
Looks that something is added along the road. On my server it tries to load a favicon now ?

No worries, Okido

I downloaded the new TiddlyWiki and tried to import my old one.  When I browse and select my old TiddlyWiki, I get this error message: "Error: A script from "file://" was denied UniversalFileRead privileges."

There is an Open button so I go ahead and click that and it says, "Opening the workspace" but it doesn't seem to be doing anything.  I waited quite a while and nothing happens.  I chose a small TiddlyWiki file to import in case it was the big one I was trying to import. 

Can anyone help?  Thanks.

I couldn't retrieve the tiddler list from my current local file using import routine. Message in import was:

  Error retrieving tiddlers from url, please ensure this url exists and is CORS enabled

But of course, the file is local. I used the Browse button to find the URL, though the files are actually in the same directory.

Twice I was asked if I wanted to allow the unsafe JS, and of course both times I said "Allow".

I don't want to import all my tiddlers by hand.

Instead I just imported your import plugin and then used it to import all tiddlers.

Which is something I don't understand. Why does your import plugin work, but the "official" import tool doesn't?

Haven't thrashed it yet, but not getting immediate errors.

This is FF 15.

That error is most likely due to the recent update to FireFox 15. As
of FF15, the browser's PrivilegeManager functions are no longer
allowed, so reading from local files will fail.

The current workaround is to either:
A) install TiddlyFox browser-extension
B) use an older version of FireFox

Where do we find TiddlyFox? Just been through 486 extensions, and the closest I got was "TidyFox".

Thanks!

TiddlyFox is new, and is currently available here:

Thanks Eric.

Maybe it wasn't supposed to fix this problem, but I still can't directly import from TiddlyTools.com

Thanks!
