What happened to beta.13, beta.14, and beta.15? All unfortunately suffered
from problems that made it either impossible or unwise to upgrade to those
versions.
The beta released with this commit (modules-beta.6) included everything on
the release-1.3 branch up to bdf64da339
("Avoid circular package.json resolution chains.").
Unfortunately, additional commits were pushed to the branch before this
commit was pushed, so the release tag release/METEOR@1.3-modules-beta.6
does not correspond to any commit in the branch history.
Rather than attempting to rewrite the branch history, I decided to amend
this commit with this explanation before pushing it.
To see exactly what was released with the sixth beta:
git fetch --tags
git log release/METEOR@1.3-modules-beta.6
It was never passed into `addFiles` in that package anyways.
But starting from commit fff2e46661,
we parse all the `.js` files in package directories. Some part of
our JS parsing pipeline explodes on this file. But honestly,
there's no particularly good reason to care about that right now.
We can wait to see if other people report packages breaking.
Tried to get everything to an rc.0 of the very latest version,
which required some research in some cases about the published
versions. For example, some packages had version histories like:
```
...
1.0.3-winr.2 January 20th, 2015
1.0.3-winr.3 February 24th, 2015 installed
1.0.3 March 17th, 2015 installed
1.0.4-anubhav.0 August 6th, 2015
1.0.4-plugins.0 July 22nd, 2015
1.0.5-galaxy.0 July 17th, 2015
```
In this case, I would bump the version from `1.0.4-plugins.0`
to `1.0.5-rc.0`, skipping `1.0.4`.
This included removing some internal version constraints. It would be
nice if package A could say "use B@2.0.0" (when both have changed), but
when they're both in the release, we need to make a release that has a
B@2.0.0-rc in it, which doesn't match that constraint. Fortunately,
constraints aren't necessary within a release anyway.
Fill in all packages without README.md files with a short
README.md mentioning that this is an internal Meteor package.
Break up the top paragraph of a couple of existing README.md
files to be proper long description.
There is more work to do here, involving line wrapping and the like.
- package.js now has a top-level 'Npm.depends' directive
- both bundle-time and server run-time code can get access
to any dependent npm module with 'Npm.require'
