meteor v1.4.2.1 Release Notes

Release Date: 2016-11-08 // over 7 years ago
    • ๐Ÿ“ฆ Installing the babel-runtime npm package in your application node_modules directory is now required for most Babel-transformed code to work, as the Meteor babel-runtime package no longer attempts to provide custom implementations of Babel helper functions. To install the babel-runtime package, simply run the command

      meteor npm install --save babel-runtime
      

      in any Meteor application directory. The Meteor babel-runtime package version has been bumped to 1.0.0 to reflect this major change. #7995

    • File system operations performed by the command-line tool no longer use fibers unless the METEOR_DISABLE_FS_FIBERS environment variable is explicitly set to a falsy value. For larger apps, this change results in significant build performance improvements due to the creation of fewer fibers and the avoidance of unnecessary asyncronous delays. https://github.com/meteor/meteor/pull/7975/commits/ca4baed90ae0675e55c93976411d4ed91f12dd63

    • โš™ Running Meteor as root is still discouraged, and results in a fatal error by default, but the --allow-superuser flag now works as claimed. #7959

    • โช The dev_bundle\python\python.exe executable has been restored to the Windows dev bundle, which may help with meteor npm rebuild commands. #7960

    • ๐Ÿ”„ Changes within linked npm packages now trigger a partial rebuild, whereas previously (in 1.4.2) they were ignored. #7978

    • ๐Ÿ›  Miscellaneous fixed bugs: #2876 #7154 #7956 #7974 #7999 #8005 #8007
