minor feature:
Reverted as the.
Change was deemed too significant for this release.
Note: The decision to revert the above change was made late in the
Meteor 1.4.2.4 release process, before it was ever recommended but too.
Late in the process to avoid the additional increment of the version number.
See for additional.
Information. This change will still be released in an upcoming version
of Meteor with a more seamless upgrade.

1.4.2.318 Nov 2016 15:05
minor feature:
Style improvements for `meteor create --full`.
.
Note: Meteor 1.4.2.2 was finalized before.
Was merged, but
Those changes were deemed important
Enough
to skip recommending 1.4.2.2 and instead immediately release 1.4.2.3.
1.4.2.104 Nov 2016 03:16
major feature:
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
``sh.
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.
.
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.

Running Meteor as `root` is still discouraged, and results in a fatal.
Error by default, but the `--allow-superuser` flag now works as claimed.
.
The `dev_bundle python python.exe` executable has been restored to the
Windows dev bundle, which may help with `meteor npm rebuild` commands.
.
Changes within linked npm packages now trigger a partial rebuild.
Whereas previously (in 1.4.2) they were ignored.

The `fibers` npm package has been updated to 1.0.14.
Blaze-related packages have been extracted to.
`meteor/blaze`, and the main.
`meteor/meteor` repository now
refers to them via git submodules (see.
.
When running `meteor` from a checkout, you must now update these
submodules by running.

1.4.1.125 Aug 2016 23:05
minor bugfix:
Update the version of our Node MongoDB driver to 2.2.7 to a in.
Reconnection logic, leading to some `update` and `remove` commands being
Treated as `insert`s.
1.4.119 Aug 2016 22:45
minor feature:
Node has been upgraded to 4.5.0.
`npm` has been upgraded to 3.10.6.
The `meteor publish-for-arch` command is no longer necessary when.
Publishing Meteor packages with binary npm dependencies. Instead, binary
Dependencies will be rebuilt automatically on the installation side.
Meteor package authors are not responsible for failures due to compiler.
Toolchain misconfiguration, and any compilation problems with the
Underlying npm packages should be taken up with the authors of those
Packages. That said, if a Meteor package author really needs or wants to
Continue using `meteor publish-for-arch`, she should publish her package
Using an older release: e.g. `meteor --release 1.4 publish`.
.
The `.meteor-last-rebuild-version.json` files that determine if a binary.
Npm package needs to be rebuilt now include more information from the
`process` object, namely `process. platform,arch,versions ` instead of.
Just `process.versions`. Note also that the comparison of versions now
Ignores differences in patch versions, to avoid needless rebuilds.
The `npm-bcrypt` package now uses a pure-JavaScript implementation by.
Default, but will prefer the native `bcrypt` implementation if it is
Installed in the application's `node_modules` directory. In other words,
Run `meteor install --save bcrypt` in your application if you need or
Want to use the native implementation of `bcrypt`.
.
After Meteor packages are downloaded from Atmosphere, they will now be.
Extracted using native `tar` or `7z.exe` on Windows, instead of the
Https://www.npmjs.com/package/tar library, for a significant performance
Improvement.
The npm `tar` package has been upgraded to 2.2.1, though it is now only.
Used as a fallback after native `tar` and/or `7z.exe`.
The progress indicator now distinguishes between downloading.
Extracting, and loading newly-installed Meteor packages, instead of
Lumping all of that work into a "downloading" status message.

Application code. 699cf1f38e9b2a074169515d23983f74148c7223
Meteor has been upgraded to support Mongo 3.2 by default (the bundled version.
Used by `meteor run` has been upgraded). Internally it now uses the 2.2.4
Version of the `mongodb` npm driver, and has been tested against at Mongo 3.2
Server. Mongo 3.2 defaults to the new WiredTiger storage engine. You can update your
Database following the instructions here:
Https://docs.mongodb.com/v3.0/release-notes/3.0-upgrade/.
In development, you can also just use `meteor reset` to remove your old.
Database, and Meteor will create a new WiredTiger database for you. The Mongo
Driver will continue to work with the old MMAPv1 storage engine however.
The new version of the Mongo driver has been tested with MongoDB versions from
2.6 up. Mongo 2.4 has now reached end-of-life.
(https://www.mongodb.com/support-policy), and is no longer supported.
Custom Mongo options can now be specified using the.
`Mongo.setConnectionOptions(options)` API.
.
On the server, cursor.count() now takes a single argument `applySkipLimit`.
(see the corresponding Mongo documentation .
(http://mongodb.github.io/node-mongodb-native/2.1/api/Cursor.html#count)).
For regression caused by #5837 which incorrectly rewrote.
Network-path references (e.g. `//domain.com/image.gif`) in CSS URLs.
Added Angular2 boilerplate example.
1.3.5.119 Jul 2016 14:45
minor bugfix:
This release a small in 1.3.5 that prevented updating apps.
Whose `.meteor/release` files refer to releases no longer installed in
` /.meteor/packages/meteor-tool`. 576468eae8d8dd7c1fe2fa381ac51dee5cb792cd.
1.3.4.412 Jul 2016 13:45
minor bugfix:
.
The default loglevel for internal `npm` commands (e.g., those related to.
`Npm.depends`) has been set to "error" instead of "warn". Note that this.
Change does not affect `meteor npm...` commands, which can be easily
Configured using `.npmrc` files or command-line flags.

1.3.4.208 Jul 2016 06:25
minor bugfix:
The `meteor node` and `meteor npm` commands now respect.
`.meteor/release` when resolving which versions of `node` and `npm` to.
Invoke. Note that you must `meteor update` to 1.3.4.2 before this logic
Will take effect, but it will work in all app directories after
Updating, even those pinned to older versions.
.
The Meteor installer now has the ability to resume downloads, so.
Installing Meteor on a spotty internet connection should be more
Reliable.
When running `meteor test`, shared directories are symlinked (or.
Junction-linked on Windows) into the temporary test directory, not
Copied, leading to much faster test start times after the initial build.
The directories: `.meteor/local/ bundler-cache,isopacks,plugin-cache `.
`App.appendToConfig` allows adding custom tags to config.xml.

1.3.423 Jun 2016 03:16
minor bugfix:
The version of `npm` used by `meteor npm` and when installing.
`Npm.depends` dependencies of Meteor packages has been upgraded from
2.15.1 to 3.9.6, which should lead to much flatter node_modules
dependency trees.
The `meteor-babel` npm package has been upgraded to 0.11.6, and is now
installed using `npm@3.9.6`, ing arising from Windows path
limits, such as.
The `reify` npm package has been upgraded to 0.3.4, ing.

Thanks to caching improvements for the.
`files. stat,lstat,readdir,realpath ` methods and.
`PackageSource#_findSources`, development server restart times are no
longer proportional to the number of files in `node_modules`
directories..
.
When installed via `InstallMeteor.exe` on Windows, Meteor can now be
easily uninstalled through the "Programs and Features" control panel.
HTTP requests made by the `meteor` command-line tool now have a timeout
of 30 seconds, which can be adjusted by the ` TIMEOUT_SCALE_FACTOR`
environment variable..
The `request` npm dependency of the `http` package has been upgraded
from 2.53.0 to 2.72.0.
The `--headless` option is now supported by `meteor test` and.

have tests. #3334
Fix typo in `meteor shell` output. #3326
1.0.220 Dec 2014 13:25
major feature:
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 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 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 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 ke
1.0.110 Dec 2014 20:25
security:
Fix a security issue in allow/deny rules that could result in data
loss. If your app uses allow/deny rules, or uses packages that use
allow/deny rules, we recommend that you update immediately.
1.030 Oct 2014 06:45
major feature:
Add the `meteor admin get-machine` command to make it easier to
publish packages with binary dependencies for all
architectures. `meteor publish` no longer publishes builds
automatically if your package has binary NPM dependencies.
New `localmarket` example, highlighting Meteor's support for mobile
app development.
Restyle the `leaderboard` example, and optimize it for both desktop
and mobile.
Performance:
Reduce unnecessary syncs with the package server, which speeds up
startup times for many commands.
Speed up `meteor deploy` by not bundling unnecessary files and
programs.
To make Meteor easier to use on slow or unreliable network
connections, increase timeouts for DDP connections that the Meteor
tool uses to communicate with the package server.
