NewMeansNewPlugin Update

Alex Hough points out on the TiddlyWiki group that if you have an unsaved new tiddler open for edit, clicking new tiddler (with NewMeansNewPlugin installed of course) won't give you a new tiddler. Since new means new, this had to change. And now new really means new. Phew. Thanks Alex. To get this update import NewMeansNewPlugin from the usual place[1]. Or copy and paste from the usual place[2].

Now last time I updated MPTW it broke MPTW site creation on Tiddlyspot. So I'm off to test that now...

... yep (but fixed now). It's something to do with dos style newline chars. a) They're getting introduced somewhere and b) the r4tw as used by Tiddlyspot doesn't handle them properly. Darn it. Am considering a rewrite of r4tw in python since, a) it could use a rewrite, b) I could learn python, c) Google AppEngine is python and d) it might be useful to Chris Dent for TiddleWeb (which is also python). Numerous signs are pointing in the direction of python at the moment.
