Hi Eric

There's no new developments that I'm aware of. The bigger picture remains
that Java itself is increasingly being abandoned by end users and
marginalised by browser makers because of its security vulnerabilities, and
Oracle's apparently half-hearted commitment to its future. Speaking
personally, I wouldn't recommend my friends or family to have Java
installed.

If you want to stay with using TiddlyWiki locally, I think that the best
options are:

1) To use Firefox+TiddlyFox: this combination works well, and is likely to
work into the far future. And it works on Firefox for Android.

2) To install locally a serverside version of TiddlyWiki, such as
TiddlyWeb, so that you can continue to use Safari. There's a bit of an
up-front investment to get it working, but you'd end up with a very
flexible and performant solution. You should also be able to use BidiX's
TiddlyHome, which is simpler and easier to set up

Best wishes

Jeremy
