Beta of new TiddlySaver.jar with a renewed certificate

[Jeremy Ruston]

If you use TiddlySaver.jar with TiddlyWiki you may have noticed
problems over the last few days due to the certificate used to sign
the applet having expired.

There is a now a beta of a new version of TiddlySaver that has been
signed with a renewed certificate:

http://tiddlywiki.com/beta/TiddlySaver.jar

It would be very helpful if people were able to test the new version
before we put it out for general release. Download the new file and
use it to replace your existing copies, and then please give any
feedback here.

As well as the new certificate, the new beta also includes a bunch of
updates from Grmble:

Many thanks to BidiX, Grmble and Martin Budden for helping get this update done.

Best wishes

Jeremy

In the process of updating the TiddlySaver.jar file did the http://tiddlywiki.com/beta/empty.html get removed? 

That file is used in the TiddlySpace build and deployment process to support the twrelease query parameter when loading a tiddlywiki (you can choose "alpha", "beta" or not set the parameter to get the default).

Since that URI is currently 404-ing, I either need to change the TiddlySpace build process, or wait for a beta to be back in place to do a deployment.

When the twrelease parameter was added the idea was that it would allow people to very easily test TiddlyWiki alphas and betas with their existing content simply by loading a slightly different URI. The idea was paired with a commitment/hope/wish that there would be regular alpha and beta releases of TiddlyWiki (Classic).

If there aren't going to be such things I should remove the functionality or otherwise the twrelease will point to things that are older than existing versions.

If there are (I hope there will be as the testing capabilities are very useful) then please let me know when new versions will be up.

Thanks.

Bah, yes, apologies, I'm afraid thats my fault, I replaced the
existing content of the directory because it appeared to be an out of
date. Is it just beta/empty.html that you need? And it needs to be
restored to a copy of the current head build, is that right? If you
have the file to hand, so much the better.

Best wishes

I think both the /alpha/* files and /beta/* files where all out of
date, potentially older than the 2.6.5 release. So one of the three
following are probably best:

* make new alpha and betas from HEAD
* make new alpha from HEAD, copy current released empty.html to beta
* copy current released empty.html to both beta and alpha

That latter is not ideal though as quite a pile of stuff is brought in
from the alpha dir (externalized stuff and whatnot):

Thanks.

I shall attempt the first of those, to build a new alpha from HEAD and
upload it to /alpha/ and /beta/. I'll report back how I get on.

Cheers

Both show version to be 2.6.5a2 data August 19, 2011, which makes them
older than the release 2.6.5 (October 6, 2011).

So either the version info is wrong, or the built thing is not HEAD.

Hi Chris

Yes, that was my mistake again, I was on the wrong branch. Please try again now,

Best wishes
