meteor v1.8.3 Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-12-19 // over 4 years ago

  • Migration Steps

    • If your application uses blaze-html-templates, the Meteor jquery package will be automatically installed in your .meteor/packages file when you update to Meteor 1.8.3. However, this new version of the Meteor jquery package no longer bundles its own copy of the jquery npm implementation, so you may need to install jquery from npm by running sh meteor npm i jquery in your application directory. Symptoms of not installing jquery include a blank browser window, with helpful error messages in the console.

    🔄 Changes

    • ⚡️ The meteor-babel npm package has been updated to version 7.7.4.

    • ⚡️ Node has been updated to version 8.17.0.

    • ⚡️ The npm npm package has been updated to version 6.13.4, and our fork of its pacote dependency has been updated to version 9.5.11, an important security release.

    • 📦 Prior to Meteor 1.8.3, installing the jquery package from npm along with the Meteor jquery package could result in bundling jQuery twice. Thanks to PR #10498, the Meteor jquery package will no longer provide its own copy of jQuery, but will simply display a warning in the console if the jquery npm package cannot be found in your node_modules directory. If you are using blaze in your application, updating to Meteor 1.8.3 will automatically add this new version of the Meteor jquery package to your application if you were not already using it (thanks to PR #10801), but you might need to run meteor npm i jquery manually, so that blaze can import jquery from your node_modules directory.

    • ⚡️ The meteor-babel npm package has been updated to version 7.7.5.

    • ⚡️ The typescript npm package has been updated to version 3.7.3.
