  • v1.1.0.2 Changes

    April 06, 2015

    meteor command-line tool

    • 🐧 Revert a change in 1.1.0.1 that caused meteor mongo to fail on some Linux systems. #4115, #4124, #4134

  • v1.1.0.1 Changes

    April 02, 2015

    Blaze

    • 🛠 Fix a regression in 1.1 in Blaze Templates: an error happening when View is invalidated immediately, causing a client-side crash (accessing destroyMembers of undefined). #4097

  • v1.0.5 Changes

    March 25, 2015
    • This version of Meteor now uses version 2.2 of the Facebook API for authentication, instead of 1.0. If you use additional Facebook API methods beyond login, you may need to request new permissions.

    Facebook will automatically switch all apps to API version 2.0 on April 30th, 2015. Please make sure to update your application's permissions and API calls by that date.

    For more details, see https://github.com/meteor/meteor/wiki/Facebook-Graph-API-Upgrade

  • v1.0.4 Changes

    March 17, 2015

    Mongo Driver

    • ✅ Meteor is now tested against MongoDB 2.6 by default (and the bundled version used by meteor run has been upgraded). It should still work fine with MongoDB 2.4. Previous versions of Meteor mostly worked with MongoDB 2.6, with a few caveats:

      • Some upsert invocations did not work with MongoDB in previous versions of Meteor.
      • Previous versions of Meteor required setting up a special "user-defined role" with access to the system.replset table to use the oplog observe driver with MongoDB 2.6. These extra permissions are not required with this version of Meteor.

    The MongoDB command needed to set up user permissions for the oplog observe driver is slightly different in MongoDB 2.6; see https://github.com/meteor/meteor/wiki/Oplog-Observe-Driver for details.

    We have also tested Meteor against the recently-released MongoDB 3.0.0. While we are not shipping MongoDB 3.0 with Meteor in this release (preferring to wait until its deployment is more widespread), we believe that Meteor 1.0.4 apps will work fine when used with MongoDB 3.0.0 servers.

    • 🛠 Fix 0.8.1 regression where failure to connect to Mongo at startup would log a message but otherwise be ignored. Now it crashes the process, as it did before 0.8.1. #3038

    • ⚡️ Use correct transform for allow/deny rules in update when different rules have different transforms. #3108

    • Provide direct access to the collection and database objects from the npm Mongo driver via new rawCollection and rawDatabase methods on Mongo.Collection. #3640

    • Observing or publishing an invalid query now throws an error instead of effectively hanging the server. #2534

    Livequery

    • If the oplog observe driver gets too far behind in processing the oplog, skip entries and re-poll queries instead of trying to keep up. #2668

    • ⚡️ Optimize common cases faced by the "crossbar" data structure (used by oplog tailing and DDP method write tracking). #3697

    • The oplog observe driver recovers from failed attempts to apply the modifier from the oplog (eg, because of empty field names).

    Minimongo

    • When acting as an insert, c.upsert({_id: 'x'}, {foo: 1}) now uses the _id of 'x' rather than a random _id in the Minimongo implementation of upsert, just like it does for c.upsert({_id: 'x'}, {$set: {foo: 1}}). (The previous behavior matched a bug in the MongoDB 2.4 implementation of upsert that is fixed in MongoDB 2.6.) #2278

    • Avoid unnecessary work while paused in minimongo.

    • 🛠 Fix bugs related to observing queries with field filters: changed callbacks should not trigger unless a field in the filter has changed, and changed callbacks need to trigger when a parent of an included field is unset. #2254 #3571

    • Disallow setting fields with empty names in minimongo, to match MongoDB 2.6 semantics.

    DDP

    • Subscription handles returned from Meteor.subscribe and TemplateInstance#subscribe now have a subscriptionId property to identify which subscription the handle is for.

    • The onError callback to Meteor.subscribe has been replaced with a more general onStop callback that has an error as an optional first argument. The onStop callback is called when the subscription is terminated for any reason. onError is still supported for backwards compatibility. #1461

    • The return value from a server-side Meteor.call or Meteor.apply is now a clone of what the function returned rather than sharing mutable state. #3201

    • 🌐 Make it easier to use the Node DDP client implementation without running a web server too. #3452

    Blaze

    • Template instances now have a subscribe method that functions exactly like Meteor.subscribe, but stops the subscription when the template is destroyed. There is a new method on Template instances called subscriptionsReady() which is a reactive function that returns true when all of the subscriptions made with TemplateInstance#subscribe are ready. There is also a built-in helper that returns the same thing and can be accessed with Template.subscriptionsReady inside any template.

    • ➕ Add onRendered, onCreated, and onDestroyed methods to Template. Assignments to Template.foo.rendered and so forth are deprecated but are still supported for backwards compatibility.

    • 🛠 Fix bug where, when a helper or event handler was called from inside a custom block helper, Template.instance() returned the Template.contentBlock template instead of the actual user-defined template, making it difficult to use Template.instance() for local template state.

    • Template.instance() now works inside Template.body. #3631

    • 👍 Allow specifying attributes on <body> tags in templates.

    • 👌 Improve performance of rendering large arrays. #3596

    Isobuild

    • 👌 Support Npm.require('foo/bar'). #3505 #3526

    • 📦 In package.js files, Npm.require can only require built-in Node modules (and dev bundle modules, though you shouldn't depend on that), not the modules from its own Npm.depends. Previously, such code would work but only on the second time a package.js was executed.

    • Ignore vim swap files in the public and private directories. #3322

    • 🛠 Fix regression in 1.0.2 where packages might not be rebuilt when the compiler version changes.

    Meteor Accounts

    • The accounts-password Accounts.emailTemplates can now specify arbitrary email headers. The from address can now be set separately on the individual templates, and is a function there rather than a static string. #2858 #2854

    • ➕ Add login hooks on the client: Accounts.onLogin and Accounts.onLoginFailure. #3572

    • ➕ Add a unique index to the collection that stores OAuth login configuration to ensure that only one configuration exists per service. #3514

    • On the server, a new option Accounts.setPassword(user, password, { logout: false }) overrides the default behavior of logging out all logged-in connections for the user. #3846

    Webapp

    • 👍 spiderable now supports escaped #! fragments. #2938

    • 0️⃣ Disable appcache on Firefox by default. #3248

    • Don't overly escape Meteor.settings.public and other parts of __meteor_runtime_config__. #3730

    • Reload the client program on SIGHUP or Node-specific IPC messages, not SIGUSR2.

    meteor command-line tool

    • Enable tab-completion of global variables in meteor shell. #3227

    • 👌 Improve the stability of meteor shell. #3437 #3595 #3591

    • meteor login --email no longer takes an ignored argument. #3532

    • 🛠 Fix regression in 1.0.2 where meteor run --settings s would ignore errors reading or parsing the settings file. #3757

    • 🛠 Fix crash in meteor publish in some cases when the package is inside an app. #3676

    • 🛠 Fix crashes in meteor search --show-all and meteor search --maintainer. #3636

    • ✅ Kill PhantomJS processes after meteor --test, and only run the app once. #3205 #3793

    • 👍 Give a better error when Mongo fails to start up due to a full disk. #2378

    • 🔒 After killing existing mongod servers, also clear the mongod.lock file.

    • 📦 Stricter validation for package names: they cannot begin with a hyphen, end with a dot, contain two consecutive dots, or start or end with a colon. (No packages on Atmosphere fail this validation.) Additionally, meteor create --package applies the same validation as meteor publish and disallows packages with multiple colons. (Packages with multiple colons like local-test:iron:router are used internally by meteor test-packages so that is not a strict validation rule.)

    • 📦 meteor create --package now no longer creates a directory with the full name of the package, since Windows file systems cannot have colon characters in file paths. Instead, the command now creates a directory named the same as the second part of the package name after the colon (without the username prefix).

    Meteor Mobile

    • 🚀 Upgrade the Cordova CLI dependency from 3.5.1 to 4.2.0. See the release notes for the 4.x series of the Cordova CLI on Apache Cordova.

    • Related to the recently discovered attack vectors in Android Cordova apps, Meteor Cordova apps no longer allow access to all domains by default. If your app access external resources over XHR, you need to add them to the whitelist of allowed domains with the newly added App.accessRule method in your mobile-config.js file.

  • v1.0.3.1 Changes

    January 20, 2015

    • 📦 Rewrite meteor show and meteor search to show package information for local packages and to show if the package is installed for non-local packages. Introduce the --show-all flag, and deprecate the --show-unmigrated and --show-old flags. Introduce the --ejson flag to output an EJSON object.

    • 👌 Support README.md files inmeteor publish. Take in the documentation file in package.js (set to README.md by default) and upload it to the server at publication time. Excerpt the first non-header Markdown section for use in meteor show.

    • 👌 Support updates of package version metadata after that version has been published by running meteor publish --update from the package directory.

    • ➕ Add meteor test-packages --velocity (similar to meteor run --test). #3330

    • 🛠 Fix meteor update <packageName> to update <packageName> even if it's an indirect dependency of your app. #3282

    • 🛠 Fix stack trace when a browser tries to use the server like a proxy. #1212

    • 🛠 Fix inaccurate session statistics and possible multiple invocation of Connection.onClose callbacks.

    • 🔀 Switch CLI tool filesystem calls from synchronous to yielding (pro: more concurrency, more responsive to signals; con: could introduce concurrency bugs)

    • Don't apply CDN prefix on Cordova. #3278 #3311

    • Don't try to refresh client app in the runner unless the app actually has the autoupdate package. #3365

    • 🛠 Fix custom release banner logic. #3353

    • Apply HTTP followRedirects option to non-GET requests. #2808

    • 📦 Clean up temporary directories used by package downloads sooner. #3324

  • v1.0.2 Changes

    December 19, 2014

    👌 Improvements to the meteor command-line tool

    • A new command called meteor shell attaches an interactive terminal to an already-running server process, enabling inspection and execution of server-side data and code, with dynamic tab completion of variable names and properties. To see meteor shell in action, type meteor run in an app directory, then (in another terminal) type meteor shell in the same app directory. You do not have to wait for the app to start before typing meteor shell, as it will automatically connect when the server is ready. Note that meteor shell currently works for local development only, and is not yet supported for apps running on remote hosts.

    • We've done a major internal overhaul of the meteor command-line tool with an eye to correctness, maintainability, and performance. Some details include:

      • Refresh the package catalog for build commands only when an error occurs that could be fixed by a refresh, not for every build command.
      • Never run the constraint solver to select package versions more than once per build.
      • Built packages ("isopacks") are now cached inside individual app directories instead of inside their source directories.
      • meteor run starts Mongo in parallel with building the application.
      • The constraint solver no longer leaves a versions.json file in your packages source directories; when publishing a package that is not inside an app, it will leave a .versions file (with the same format as .meteor/versions) which you should check into source control.
      • The constraint solver's model has been simplified so that plugins must use the same version of packages as their surrounding package when built from local source.

    • Using meteor debug no longer requires manually continuing the debugger when your app restarts, and it no longer overwrites the symbol _ inside your app.

    • Output from the command-line tool is now word-wrapped to the width of your terminal.

    • ✂ Remove support for the undocumented earliestCompatibleVersion feature of the package system.

    • ⬇️ Reduce CPU usage and disk I/O bandwidth by using kernel file-system change notification events where possible. On file systems that do not support these events (NFS, Vagrant Virtualbox shared folders, etc), file changes will only be detected every 5 seconds; to detect changes more often in these cases (but use more CPU), set the METEOR_WATCH_FORCE_POLLING environment variable. #2135

    • ⬇️ Reduce CPU usage by fixing a check for a parent process in meteor run that was happening constantly instead of every few seconds. #3252

    • 🛠 Fix crash when two plugins defined source handlers for the same extension. #3015 #3180

    • 🛠 Fix bug (introduced in 0.9.3) where the warning about using experimental versions of packages was printed too often.

    • 🛠 Fix bug (introduced in 1.0) where meteor update --patch crashed.

    • 🛠 Fix bug (introduced in 0.9.4) where banners about new releases could be printed too many times.

    • 🛠 Fix crash when a package version contained a dot-separated pre-release part with both digits and non-digits. #3147

    • 👍 Corporate HTTP proxy support is now implemented using our websocket library's new built-in implementation instead of a custom implementation. #2515

    Blaze

    • ➕ Add default behavior for Template.parentData with no arguments. This selects the first parent. #2861

    • 🛠 Fix Blaze.remove on a template's view to correctly remove the DOM elements when the template was inserted using Blaze.renderWithData. #3130

    • 👍 Allow curly braces to be escaped in Spacebars. Use the special sequences {{| and {{{| to insert a literal {{ or {{{.

    Meteor Accounts

    • 👍 Allow integration with OAuth1 servers that require additional query parameters to be passed with the access token. #2894

    • Expire a user's password reset and login tokens in all circumstances when their password is changed.

    🛠 Other bug fixes and improvements

    • 🚀 Some packages are no longer released as part of the core release process: amplify, backbone, bootstrap, d3, jquery-history, and jquery-layout. This means that new versions of these packages can be published outside of the full Meteor release cycle.

    • ⚡️ Require plain objects as the update parameter when doing replacements in server-side collections.

    • 🛠 Fix audit-argument-checks spurious failure when an argument is NaN. #2914
