Alex, It may be best for pre-release feedback to be placed in the TiddlyWikiDev group.
Far be it me to tell you what to do but unless you need a feature in an impending release N-1 is the best, or the latest public release (older than a few weeks), especially when the next one foreshadowed is but an incremental release. I say this based on the reliability of tiddlywiki upgrades and the likelyhood that undetected errors will be fixed soon after a release. TiddlyWiki 5.1.16 was quickly followed by 6.1.17 If you install the 5.1.18 pre-lrelease you may find along comes 5.1.19 quickly followed by 5.1.20 and their is less gaurentee of an effective upgrade from the pre-release. In effect you may find yourself 3 versions behind in a tick Yes, install it along side your working one, yes please provide feedback, as you are doing, but consider avoiding using it in "production".
