Since jquery used to be a core package, and the most recent Meteor release
(1.6.1.1) imposed the ~1.11.11 constraint (note the ~), jquery@1.12.1
won't be usable with Meteor 1.6.x until it is republished after the next
Meteor release, which will no longer constrain the jquery version, because
jquery is no longer a core package (#9607).
In order to publish these two packages sooner rather than later, we need
to relax their jquery version constraints, because we don't want to
publish jquery@1.12.1 yet. The relaxed @1.11.11 constraints in these
package.js files will remain compatible with jquery@1.12.1, so this change
should be safe for the forseeable future.
Although there was a comment in this code about not applying .meteorignore
files to the contents of node_modules directories, I'm pretty sure that
was the wrong decision, because .meteorignore merely limits what Meteor
tries to compile as application code, and does not actually modify or hide
node_modules files from other parts of Meteor (or Node).
In other words, there's no harm in letting .meteorignore apply to
node_modules, and there may be a LOT of benefit, because it allows the
developer to fight back when compilation descends unexpectedly into an npm
package that contains non-.js[on] files for which a compiler plugin has
been registered, an obscure but not uncommon behavior originally intended
to allow importing CSS assets from npm packages:

* https://github.com/meteor/meteor/issues/5242
* https://github.com/meteor/meteor/issues/6846
* https://github.com/meteor/meteor/issues/7406
However, we now have a much more powerful tool for selectively compiling
specific npm packages: #9771. In light of this new approach, we should
probably remove the promiscuous node_modules compilation behavior
altogether, as it might speed up rebuild times for many applications whose
developers don't know or care that this behavior exists. For example,
abandoning this behavior would prevent the problem reported here:
https://github.com/meteor/meteor/issues/6950
In the meantime, this commit makes .meteorignore work for node_modules.
Workaround for #8598: the Node Mongo driver has at least one bug that can lead
to query callbacks never getting called (even with an error) when leadership
failover occur.
Before this change,
meteor create --list
would produce output containing the following line:
todos-react: https://github.com/meteor/todos#react
but "meteor create --example todos-react" would create the blaze version of the todos example.
This was because for some reason the code is using a # to append the name of the branch, instead of /tree/.
The dev bundle needs to be rebuilt after 1.6.1 since we bumped the Node
version in 1.6.1 but did not bump the npm version, though npm has been
updated to 5.8.0 on the devel branch (and release-1.6.2) already.
The $BUNDLE_VERSION version is interpreted as an opaque string rather than
a semantic version, so we can easily add a fourth number to track changes
that fall between Node versions (while we're waiting for Node 8.11.2).
Console.isInteractive() will be false during our Circle CI test runs,
since we set the METEOR_HEADLESS environment variable, so this change
should help prevent spurious test failures like these:
https://circleci.com/gh/meteor/meteor/15305.
As discovered in #8947, creating an app with
meteor create --release 1.4.4.1 new-app
does not actually constrain core packages to have the same minor versions
they had when Meteor 1.4.4.1 was published. Rather (as of Meteor 1.4.3),
the Meteor release only constrains core packages to have versions at least
as recent as the versions they had when the release was published, and to
have the same major version. Any later minor version is fair game.
What we need is a new kind of package version constraint, more like
semver's ~ range operator:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/semver#tilde-ranges-123-12-1
This commit implements that functionality, though it stops short of
supporting all possible semver range syntax.
