2.10.1 beta for you to test: fixed backups, default options, UI updates, and more

[Yakov]

Hello everyone,

this time I've decided to create a relatively small and quick release, and it's ready for you to test the beta.

Highlights:

• async saving implementation in 2.10.0 broke upgrading, 2.10.1 fixes that (thanks ParoTheParrot for reporting);
• options now can have default values: if an option is set to it, it's not saved to the cookie (plugin authors can use tw.options.define to set such defaults);
  • saving to SystemSettings is not affected (as sometimes one need to store a value and toggle it without getting it out of SystemSettings);
• UI changes:
  • tagging and tags blocks now use just borders instead of a custom background color (similarly to tabs in 2.10.0);
    
  • colors of inputs are now based on ColorPalette (thanks Pengju Yan for for suggesting);
  • several updates in the upgrade wizard, mainly to work better on mobile with a proper viewport tag;
  • GettingStarted is updated to be more clear and instructive; will probably updated it more in the future releases;
• permalink button now supports right click (to copy url/open in a new tab/...);
• jQuery is moved to node_modules, so updating it is probably a matter of just changing version in package.json; updated 1.8.3 → 1.9.1 because 1.8.3 is not ~available (dedicated version updating will be later).
  

The full changelog, grouped by feature:

1a4f384 feature: introduce tw.options with .define and .hasDefaultValue, prevent saving default values, set core defaults

Hello everyone,

since this is a smaller release and I have tested all the expected issues (including regressions), today will be the last day for the beta: if there's no feedback, tomorrow I'll push this forward to a release.

Best regards,

Yakov.

Thank you Yakov. I've been using TiddlyWiki (Classic, upset about the name being stolen by jermolene's new TiddlyWiki) for a decade. I always worry about TiddlyWiki Classic not working one day. Because of you guys, I'm not scared any more. :-)

Hi Yakov,

I ran my tests, no problems found, that are critical, so I would say push it.

Due to my custom CSS the tagbox required some tweaking.

Have a nice day, Okido

Hi Okido, thanks for testing! I've created a Github release already, but found some issues on the way. I've already fixed the site-updating flow (except there's an issue about favicon; see details here), but I've found that the permalink urls are currently wrong (no hash) at least on the site and in the empty TW that's downloaded now on classic.tiddlywiki.com. So I'll probably solve this first, and announce the full release afterwards.

Pengju, you are right that there are some unpleasant things involved into the TW/TWC/TW5 transition, but let's not multiply confusion: it's strange to say that Jeremy "stole" the name as he's both the author of TWC and TW5, and TW5 is a rewrite of the same concept. Yes, the lack of backwards compatibility and draining the community in favor of an incompatible product is somewhat sad, but still let's not be offensive, I've read somewhat offensive bits in TW5 community and I definitely don't want to multiply such things. The real question for me is: can we attract new users to TWC, and should we? I'll be glad if someone helps with that; as for now, I just think that it's possible to attract new users if we provide enough value (not only in TWC itself, but also in its applications to different tasks, like language learning, expenses tracking, tasks management, etc). But for now I develop things primarily for myself and the current users.

Best regards,

Yakov.
