I’m delighted to announce the long-awaited release of v5.1.16 of TiddlyWiki.


Remember to keep careful backups before upgrading existing 5.x.x wikis at:

https://tiddlywiki.com/upgrade.html

There are too many new features to mention; some of the highlights include:

* “Visual diffs” in the edit preview pane and the import listing
* A new “range” widget for creating sliders
* Simplified page scrolling behaviour: navigating to a tiddler now scrolls the top of the tiddler to the top of the viewport
* Ability to create buttons that copy text to the clipboard
* Added support for comparison operators to the RevealWidget
* Added support for StartupActions to execute action widgets at startup
* A new "rotate left" button for the bitmap editor toolbar
* A major update to the CodeMirror plugin
* A new “DynaView” plugin for dynamic interactive scroll and zoom effects
* Improved Text-Slicer Plugin with customisable JSON rules
* Updated KaTeX Plugin to latest v0.9.0
* New Slovenian and Português (Brasil) translations, and improved Dutch, French, German and Chinese translations
* A new alphanumeric sorting operator that avoids having to use numbers like 0000456 to ensure proper sorting
* Tweaked, more readable font settings

Full details of all the changes can be found in the release note:

Darn. Very last example for CheckBoxWidget produces faulty tags. Hope it is the example doc and not the widget.

It certainly looks broken, but per this part of the text:


The Action Send Message Widget joins all the tags into one large tag. The Action Set Field Widget appends the tags as individual tags.

It's actually doing what it should be doing.

hi Jeremy,

I'm running 5.1.16 now.

On the NPM site (https://www.npmjs.com/package/tiddlywiki) I found a lot of documentation.

The upgrade with "npm update -g tiddlywiki" (execute in /usr/bin) went well and "tiddlywiki --version" reported 5.1.16 but the site stilll said 5.1.15. But I forgot to restart the services.

thanks

The GitHub repo https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/ does not seem to be fully in sync with the 5.1.16 release, as at least the package.json still identifies it as 5.1.16-prerelease. The npm package on npmjs.com has been correctly updated though.

Hey all,

Im still seeing this behavior where everyitme I close and reopen my tiddlywiki browser window, the new tiddler window opens with preview mode on. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Diego

maybe this should be on a separate thread?

anyway the preview is controlled by

$:/state/showeditpreview

so if this has value 'no' and is saved then it should work to not open the reveiw

all the best

@Diego - it depends on which platform you are if state tiddlers are persistent or get deleted at startup

I've put a startup action in a tiddler (works with 5.1.16) so that 

$:/state/showeditpreview  gets always set to no at startup
