With latest nightly Firefox 3 I started getting lots of permission
alerts saving my tiddly wiki, so I wondered if there was a newer
version.

But I couldn't find any display of version. I went to http://tiddlywiki.com/
and searched for version, and found nothing their either.

I finally ran vimdiff between old and new and found
var version = {title: "TiddlyWiki", major: 2, minor: 2, revision: 6,
date: new Date("Oct 18, 2007")

Is there a way to determine your TiddlyWiki version? It's certainly
well-hidden. The backstage line could usefully have an "About" menu.
Or backstage > Plugins could have a "Core System" line and a Version
column.

The version information is displayed on the left side of the page, at
the bottom of the "main menu" area, where it currently says:
TiddlyWiki v2.3.0

This value is defined directly in the TiddlyWiki file, near the top of
the source:
---------------
var version = {title: "TiddlyWiki", major: 2, minor: 3, revision: 0,
date: new Date("Dec 4, 2007"), extensions: {}};
---------------

You can also render the version information within tiddler content by
using the macro:
<<version>>

Hi Skierpage,

Using the version bookmarklet shown on TiddlyTools as the "[i]" bookmarklet, you'll get the information you want.
Here is the link : http://www.tiddlytools.com/#InstantBookmarklets

You can use the following in any tiddler to display the version of
TiddlyWiki you are using:

<<version>>
