Incompatible Changes

5.0.16-beta brings more incompatible changes than any previous release. These changes are likely to break almost all plugins written for previous releases of TiddlyWiki 5, and will break many customisations.

• Changed all CSS class prefixes from tw- to tc- (eg tw-tiddler-frame has become tc-tiddler-frame; missing prefixes have also been added, so btn-invisible has become tc-btn-invisible)
• Changed all message prefixes from tw- to tm- (eg tw-close-tiddler has become tm-close-tiddler)
• Changed all variable prefixes from tw- to tv- (eg tw-config-toolbar-icons has become tv-config-toolbar-icons)
• Changed prefix/removeprefix filter operators to be case-sensitive

Compatibility with TiddlyWikiClassic

This release includes a preliminary version of a new plugin that provides compatibility with content created for TiddlyWikiClassic:

Subsequent releases will include end-user documentation with step-by-step instructions for migrating content.

Many thanks to @buggyj for his work on this plugin.

Usability Improvements

• Amended behaviour of the tm-browser-refresh message so that it no longer clears the location hash
• Hide toolbar buttons from static renderings

Hackability Improvements

• Extend the all operator to be able to select all the source tiddlers
• Fixed problem with single line macro definitions incorrectly including whitespace in the value. (For example, \define mymacro() yes would set the macro value to " yes", with a leading space)
• Extend Table-of-Contents Macros use the caption field if present
• Configurability for the default tab shown in the tiddler info panel (see Configuring the default TiddlerInfo tab)
• Added suffix and removesuffix operators

Bug Fixes

• Reverted incorrect refreshing of the tiddler widget
• Fixed indentation of selective expandable Table-of-Contents Macros
