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
Switching from "require" to "import" in the coffeescript plugin
broke our hack that keeps coffeescript from clobbering our version
of Error.prepareStackTrace, because imports are automatically
hoisted to the top of the file, and thus so are any side effects of
requiring a module.
The new fix has the tool save a copy of the correct
Error.prepareStackTrace so that any plugin that wants to unclobber
Error.prepareStackTrace can do so.
Other, fancier fixes are possible; there's a package called
stack-chain that installs a getter/setter on
Error.prepareStackTrace:
e51a7b2e0f/stack-chain.js (L136)
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.
Implements caching for single-file compilers (those that don't implement
'import' directives) as a superclass, CachingCompiler.
Used in coffeescript and templating.
Previously, registerCompiler was enabled by the *real* package
`compiler-plugin`, which arranged to only be available in versions of
the tool that support registerCompiler via... well, mostly via wishful
thinking.
Now this is implemented via a fake package called
isobuild:compiler-plugin. "isobuild" is a real Atmosphere organization
that will never publish any packages. The tool pretends that packages
isobuild:compiler-plugin@1.0.0, isobuild:linter-plugin@1.0.0, and
isobuild:minifier-plugin@1.0.0 exist, and carefully arranges for them to
be avoided in the actual process of building and app; they just are
referenced in Version Solver.
When we add future features like this, users of this version of Meteor
who try to depend on packages that need the feature will get a nice
error message pointing to
https://github.com/meteor/meteor/wiki/Isobuild-Feature-Packages
Users of current versions of Meteor who try to depend on packages that
require isobuild:compiler-plugin will get a slightly confusing message
about isobuild:compiler-plugin not existing. Users of current versions
of Meteor who try to depend on packages only some of whose versions
require isobuild:compiler-plugin will get a version that doesn't require
it.
This is in addition to registering for extensions. Note that only the
new SourceProcessor APIs allow this, not registerSourceHandler.
The filename in question is the basename of the file. The file can be
found in any directory in any package. If you want to be more picky,
you can just ignore other ones in your processFilesForTarget.
This introduces the SourceProcessorSet abstraction, which simplifies a
lot of repeated code around matching filenames with processors and
avoiding duplicates.
Missing tests.
See also #3985.
Also combine the two coffee registerCompiler calls into one
it's a bad on-disk cache that should be improved to not write out all
the unchanged files every time too. but the tests do show that it skips
the unnecessary recompile
less doesn't use an on-disk cache yet
