* Improved generation of qualified tiddler titles for state storage
** Instead of `$:/state/tab/sidebar-{$:/core/ui/SideBar|$:/core/ui/SideBar||}{$:/core/ui/PageTemplate|$:/core/ui/PageTemplate||}` one gets `$:/state/tab/sidebar-{1743827719}`

** Existing TiddlyWikiFolders will need updating to include ''Vanilla'' as an additional theme
* The page building blocks are now driven by the system tag `$:/tags/PageTemplate`

Merge the dev material back into the main tw5.com wiki It was getting a pain to manage the content in separate places, and I suspect confusing for end users. I think the best time to move the dev content out is when we’ve established the community wiki for TW5, which is a much more natural home for it. In the meantime, a feature that I’m interested in exploring is the ability to hide tiddlers from the UI based on tag. Then the tw5.com wiki could disable all tiddlers tagged ‘dev’ until explicitly overridden by the user. 2013-11-28 17:12:18 +00:00			`!! New Features and Improvements`

Split a basic Vanilla theme out of Snow White And add a new Night-Time theme for the /dev wiki. The idea is that the Vanilla theme will make a more convenient base for retheming. 2013-11-27 12:38:03 +00:00			`* Split ''Snow White'' theme into a base ''Vanilla'' theme with all the basic formatting, leaving the decorative bits to ''Snow White''`

Reorganise the main file saving templates We’re introducing a mechanism that allows us to decide which tiddlers get saved. Using `$:/core/save/all` gives all tiddlers, as before. Using `$:/core/save/empty` gives an empty wiki. Saving an empty wiki from tw5.com isn’t the same as the empty wiki cooked from editions/empty because the two editions have different plugins and other system tiddlers. 2013-11-25 21:16:27 +00:00			`!!
