v11.0.0b733 (12 Sep 2025)

Released 12 Sep 2025. Build number is 733.

Minor changes not necessarily warranting explicit mention in an aTbRef note:

Action Code:
- Corrected a parsing error that affected operators of exactly 5 letters that take multiple arguments, notably fetch().
AI/Natural Language Processing:
- MCP: Extended the create_note tool to help LLMs make adornments and agents.
- Corrected a muddle that could disable MCP tools when they ought to have been enabled.
- Updated Claude’s Readings and Notes in Built In Hints to give Claude a little more Tinderbox savvy. In particular, the Notes now tells Claude to scan the note titles at the start of a session and to retrieve the full text of only notes that pertain to the discussion.
- Also, added a note on posters to facilitate using Claude to design poster notes.
Attributes:
- $SelectionCount is no longer incremented automatically on selection. This feature was intended to facilitate experiments on read wear (Hill, W.C., Hollan, J.D., Wroblewski, D., and McCandless, T. (1992). “Edit wear and read wear.” In Proceedings of CHI’92 Human Factors in Computing Systems, ACM/SIGCHI, 3-9. https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/142750.142751). That hasn’t happened, and the changing selection counts are a burden on version control.
- $Container now returns "/" for top-level notes. Formerly, it returned "".
- Changing the value of $MapBodyTextSize redraws the map view and allows the new value to take effect. Previously, the change took effect only when the view was forced to refresh.
Attribute Browser view:
- Corrected misbehaviour in the URL button in columns of attribute browser.
Help:
- Updated Tinderbox Help with release notes, new sections on AI and Information City, and some proofreading.
Map view:
- In map view, double-clicking the alias of a container now zooms in to the original container.
Miscellaneous:
- Revised TbxTextAttachment’s imageAt: method (again) to prevent a very intermittent but annoying crash.
- In map view, double-clicking the alias of a container now zooms in to the original container.
- Chased down an apparent memory leak involving failure to release TbxMap on closing a window. This turned out to be a defective test.
- Corrected (again) a long-standing but very intermittent crash in the change update system, typically encountered when Tinderbox returns from sleep or a period in the background.
- Addressed a crash in the highlighter, apparently triggered when the match ran to the end of the text.
- Highlighter could crash if the regular expression matched the end-of-line meta character $ — for example, if using the pattern .* .
