Although there are quite a few new plugins being developed for TiddlyWiki 5 (TW5) now that it is out of beta, InstantTimestampPlugin and many others you will find, are for TiddlyWiki Classic (TWC). Due to major differences in the internal architecture, plugins written for TWC cannot be used with TW5. Of course, some of these TWC plugins are not needed in TW5 because their functionality is specific to TWC or their features are now fully supported within the new TW5 core code. Many TWC plugins *could* be re-written for TW5, but that will take some time as there are quite a few of them (e.g., over 400 addons -- plugins, scripts, themes, etc. -- just on my TiddlyTools.com site alone) and the work to re-write them (which is likely at least several months or more of full-time effort) needs to be prioritized and planned. In addition, some plugins are now "orphaned", as their original authors have moved on to other projects. When you find a plugin you want for TW5, but it appears to be for TWC, the best course of action is to first try to contact the plugin author and see if they have plans to re-write it, and then post a message on this discussion forum to ask others if there are native TW5 alternatives. enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios YOUR DONATIONS ARE VERY IMPORTANT!
