Outage

Dreamhost is doing some reorganisation of file servers and because the directory containing all tiddlyspot sites is too big for the file system it's being moved to they decided to tar and gzip it. So tiddlyspot is down until further notice. Apologies for the inconvenience. I'm hoping to be able to sort this out tomorrow. (Sunday au time)

Warning about security

I think this should be made more obvious than it seems to be at the moment.

Is Tiddlyspot secure?

No. Your password is sent in clear text when uploading and when authenticating to access a private site or your control panel. This means that your Tiddlyspot is vulnerable to packet sniffing and your password could be discovered by a malicious third party. For this reason please don't put sensitive information such as banking details in your Tiddlyspot and don't use the same password that you use for other high security sites.

I've added this to the FAQ here:

jsMath Update

Tiddlyspot's version of jsMath (located at http://yoursite.tiddlyspot.com/jsMath) has been updated to the latest version, 3.6c.

New version of d3 now available as a flavour

The long awaited new version is compatible with the current latest TW core and the latest UploadPlugin.

2.4.1 and Tiddlyspot (part 2)

If you  want to run 2.4.1 with Tiddlyspot here's a checklist of things you'll need to do:

• Download your file so you're working from a local copy
  
• Update the TW core to 2.4.1 (I've you're running 2.4 then this is a one click solution thanks to the great new built in updater)
• Import the latest UploadPlugin from http://tiddlywiki.bidix.info/
• Import the latest PasswordOptionPlugin from http://tiddlywiki.bidix.info/
• Save, reload, upload

Tiddlyspot and 2.4.1

The 2.4.1 update to TiddlyWiki breaks Tiddlyspot uploads. So please don't update your Tiddlyspot TiddlyWiki to 2.4.1 until we have a fix for this. The fix is not hard but will take some effort to roll out. It will require an update to UploadPlugin and since Tiddlyspot supports flavours built on older TW cores that are incompatible with the latest UploadPlugin it's not quite as easy as it might be.

Update: Actually it seems like it's only a problem if you have updated UploadPlugin to the latest version from http://tiddlywiki.bidix.info/. If you've stuck with the UploadPlugin that Tiddlyspot created for you then you should be alright to update 2.4.1*

_{* Unless your running a 2.1 or older TiddlyWiki in which case you might need to update UploadPlugin using the technique described in the second paragraph here.}
