[tw5] TW 5.1.18 for Bob?

[Dave]

Is there a way to upgrade to 5.1.18 in Bob, or do we wait for a new Bob
release that includes that?

I tried replacing the Bob executable I had with the latest one (was same
version number but a tad bigger), but <<version>> still says 5.1.17

I haven't gotten around to it yet. I should have time to update the
executable version either sunday or sometime next week. If you use the
plugin version than you can just update tiddlywiki normally.

I am in the middle of adding access controls to Bob so my development
branch isn't ready to be released and that makes working with the update
awkward until it is finished.

Thanks, I'll just wait

I've been using the executable version for a month or so and quite like it
(thanks again for making it...)

Other than this upgrading thing, are there any other compelling reasons to
use the plugin version instead?

[Jed Carty]

Or to actually answer your question, there isn't a way to change the
version in the executable so you will have to wait for the next one unless
you want to compile it yourself. And I have been bad about actually
releasing what I make in a timely manor for the past few weeks and forgot
to bump the version number.

It is easier to make sure I haven't included any malicious code to steal
your christmas lists if you use the plugin version.

But if you are comfortable with that and don't want to modify or audit Bob
it is just a matter of personal preference.

Lol! Do I need to verify you?
