Package.register_extension API.
It didn't even actually work for producing JavaScript files (eg a
coffeescript-like package): see #1410. Package maintainers should have upgraded
to the more powerful 0.6.5 API by now anyway.
Support for 'fields' option in minimongo. Observe on the fields certain fields
will fire 'change' events only if one of watched fields changed.
Note: in minimongo observe, granularity of diff is one level. Meaning, watching
for changes at 'foo.bar' may fire even if 'foo.bar' didn't change.
Fixes#1287.
- Fix order of ')' and '.' in a bunch of places
- Remove last reference to "smart packages"
- Fix an Atmosphere link
- Linkify a bunch of other things (CoffeeScript, npm, GitHub bug tracker, etc)
- Added a newline after the dot in "`meteor`. `meteor`". It looked way more
like `meteor.meteor` when rendered.
- Name `api.add_files` explicitly.
- Fix capitalization of GitHub
- Explain how weak deps check if the dep is there
- A few other typos
As part of a docs pass we will explain the new way to use coffeescript globals.
(In short: in a package, anything declared with `api.export` becomes
package-level and exported. If you want something package-level and not
exported, or app-level, there's an object `share` and you can assign to fields
on it.)
some compatibility notes about packages:
- packages now have their own namespaces (rather than needing to
use the global namespace). symbols you want to share should
be declared with an @export comment
- this also means that missing dependencies can hurt you. so don't
leave them out.
- your app's packages (in the 'packages' directory in your app) are
not automatically included in your app; you need to explicitly
run "meteor add" for them. this means that, eg, you can have test
helper packages which are not directly used in your app, but just
used by other packages' tests. (before releasing this, we may
make 'meteor update' fix current apps.)
- the bundle ("star") format has changed
- packages are now built into the "unipackage" format. if this format changes
before we release this code (and commit to the definition of the initial
versions of the formats) you may need to run "meteor rebuild-all"
- __meteor_bootstrap__ has been stripped of everything not related to
executing JS code. Some of what used to be there is now on the WebApp
object.
more detailed docs are likely to come before the 0.6.5 release.
