I'm pleased to announce the TiddlyWiki 2.6.2 beta release. This release consists of a number of minor usability and hackability enhancements, as described at http://trac.tiddlywiki.org/wiki/History, and one fairly major enhancement.
The major enhancement is the addition of persistent options, also known as 'baked cookies'. This is the ability of TiddlyWiki to store some of its options in a tiddler, the SystemSettings tiddler, so that these options are retained even if the user deletes all their cookies, or moves the TiddlyWiki to another computer. The persistent options are more fully described at: http://tiddlywiki.com/beta/#PersistentOptions We are soliciting feedback about Persistent Options as part of this beta release, in particular: 1) Which options do you think should be persistent, and which options should be in cookies? 2) Do you think the persistent options have been explained properly, and do you have any suggestions to improve the explanation? 3) Which should take precedence a persistent option or a cookie? That is should a persistent option overwrite an option previously set in a cookie, or should the cookie value take precedence? This has been the subject of some discussion, and we are by no means sure which is the better option. In the beta the persistent option overwrites the cookie option. Note that for a standalone TiddlyWiki, the impact of the difference in precedence is not that great, but for TiddlySpace the impact is more significant: it means an option set locally by a user in a cookie can be overwritten by another user of the TiddlySpace, if that option is persistent.
