- 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.)
.meteor/packages in new apps now contains "standard-app-packages", which implies
the standard set of packages like mongo-livedata. There is no special-casing in
initFromAppDir. This line has been added to all the examples, etc.
There's a new concept of "upgraders". "meteor run-upgrader app-packages" will
add standard-app-packages to the app, as well as all of the package in the app's
packages/ directory (an unrelated change since 0.6.4). This will be integrated
soon with "meteor update"; run-upgrader is essentially for testing.
project.add_package no longer adds packages that are already there.
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.
