Hello everyone,

I would like to explore some of the earliest versions of TiddlyWiki.  I can access the first few commits on the original 2011 GitHub repo for the original version, but I am aware that TiddlyWiki has been around since much earlier than 2011.  For example, Jeremy Ruston gave a talk at the 2006 BlogTalk Conference about it.

Are any of these earlier versions still available for downloading or for code review?

Thanks so much!

Just to add that the most recent version of TiddlyWiki Classic v2.x.x can be found at:


The full code history can be found at:


Best wishes

According to https://classic.tiddlywiki.com/#History, "there's a nearly complete archive of old versions of TiddlyWiki at https://classic.tiddlywiki.com/archive/"

Note that the archive only goes up to TWClassic v2.6.5 (released on 20 March 2012), when Jeremy announced that "A major update in the form of TiddlyWiki5 is now under active development".

After that, I briefly took over responsibility for maintenance and upgrades, up to and including TWClassic v2.8.1 (released on 23 June 2013).

Since then, further maintenance and upgrades have been lovingly performed by Yakov Litvin.

The current revision is TWClassic v2.9.2, released on 3 November 2020, and is available here: https://classic.tiddlywiki.com

There is also a TiddlyWiki Classic Google Group here: https://groups.google.com/g/tiddlywikiclassic

enjoy,

Thank you.  The code looks very interesting.

Gosh, that classic versions archive is a trip down nostalgia lane! 
It's like looking at baby pictures -- a baby who was small, endearing, quick to load... (Actually built my first TiddlyWiki in 2005, about a year before becoming a parent, so there's more than a little overlap there!)

Just like children, TiddlyWiki grew up and got more and more complicated, and now it barely resembles that cute little bundle of code it once was... but at least it still phones home every once in a while
