Sidebar Resizer
User BurningTreeC posted a demo of his upcoming feature proposal, a Sidebar Resizer for Tiddlywiki. This is not a plugin but rather a proposed addition to the TiddlyWiki core code.
You can try out the Sidebar Resizer in the preview build. Be sure to let us know what you think in the comments.
Experimental Highlighting WikiText Editor
User BuggyJ has shared an experimental pair of plugins that together provide syntax highlighting of wikitext within the TiddlyWiki editor:
MultiWikiServer News
Founder Jeremy Ruston published a new website to bring all the MWS documentation together in one bookmarkable place:
The idea is to make the MWS docs easily accessible without cluttering up the main [TiddlyWiki] site with material that will not be relevant to everyone.
TiddlyWiki Classic
TiddlyWiki Classic is still going strong. Version 2.10.2 has just been released with new features, bug fixes and UI improvements.
TiddlyWiki Classic maintainer Yakov Litvin has also recently published a collection of his own TWC plugins released in the last year.
In Memoriam
We are sad to report the passing of Udo Borkowski earlier this year. Udo was an enthusiastic early contributor to TiddlyWiki. His YourSearch plugin in particular became a staple for TiddlyWiki Classic users. Jeremy paid tribute to Udo and shared some memories in a GitHub thread with Yakov and Udo’s widow.
