## vNEXT ## v0.6.6 #### Security * Add `browser-policy` package for configuring and sending Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options HTTP headers. [See the docs](http://docs.meteor.com/#browserpolicy) for more. * Use cryptographically strong pseudorandom number generators when available. #### MongoDB * Add upsert support. `Collection.update` now supports the `{upsert: true}` option. Additionally, add a `Collection.upsert` method which returns the newly inserted object id if applicable. * `update` and `remove` now return the number of documents affected. #1046 * `$near` operator for `2d` and `2dsphere` indices. * The `fields` option to the collection methods `find` and `findOne` now works on the client as well. (Operators such as `$elemMatch` and `$` are not yet supported in `fields` projections.) #1287 * Pass an index and the cursor itself to the callbacks in `cursor.forEach` and `cursor.map`, just like the corresponding `Array` methods. #63 * Support `c.find(query, {limit: N}).count()` on the client. #654 * Improve behavior of `$ne`, `$nin`, and `$not` selectors with objects containing arrays. #1451 * Fix various bugs if you had two documents with the same _id field in String and ObjectID form. #### Accounts * [Behavior Change] Expire login tokens periodically. Defaults to 90 days. Use `Accounts.config({loginExpirationInDays: null})` to disable token expiration. * [Behavior Change] Write dates generated by Meteor Accounts to Mongo as Date instead of number; existing data can be converted by passing it through `new Date()`. #1228 * Log out and close connections for users if they are deleted from the database. * Add Meteor.logoutOtherClients() for logging out other connections logged in as the current user. * `restrictCreationByEmailDomain` option in `Accounts.config` to restrict new users to emails of specific domain (eg. only users with @meteor.com emails) or a custom validator. #1332 * Support OAuth1 services that require request token secrets as well as authentication token secrets. #1253 * Warn if `Accounts.config` is only called on the client. #828 * Fix bug where callbacks to login functions could be called multiple times when the client reconnects. #### DDP * Fix infinite loop if a client disconnects while a long yielding method is running. * Unfinished code to support DDP session resumption has been removed. Meteor servers now stop processing messages from clients and reclaim memory associated with them as soon as they are disconnected instead of a few minutes later. #### Tools * The pre-0.6.5 `Package.register_extension` API has been removed. Use `Package._transitional_registerBuildPlugin` instead, which was introduced in 0.6.5. (A bug prevented the 0.6.5 reimplementation of `register_extension` from working properly anyway.) * Support using an HTTP proxy in the `meteor` command line tool. This allows the `update`, `deploy`, `logs`, and `mongo` commands to work behind a proxy. Use the standard `http_proxy` environment variable to specify your proxy endpoint. #429, #689, #1338 * Build Linux binaries on an older Linux machine. Meteor now supports running on Linux machines with glibc 2.9 or newer (Ubuntu 10.04+, RHEL and CentOS 6+, Fedora 10+, Debian 6+). Improve error message when running on Linux with unsupported glibc, and include Mongo stderr if it fails to start. * Install NPM modules with `--force` to avoid corrupted local caches. * Rebuild NPM modules in packages when upgrading to a version of Meteor that uses a different version of Node. * Disable the Mongo http interface. This lets you run meteor on two ports differing by 1000 at the same time. #### Misc * [Known issue] Breaks support for pre-release OSX 10.9 'Mavericks'. Will be addressed shortly. See issues: https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/6251 https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/6296 * `EJSON.stringify` now takes options: - `canonical` causes objects keys to be stringified in sorted order - `indent` allows formatting control over the EJSON stringification * EJSON now supports `Infinity`, `-Infinity` and `NaN`. * Check that the argument to `EJSON.parse` is a string. #1401 * Better error from functions that use `Meteor._wrapAsync` (eg collection write methods and `HTTP` methods) and in DDP server message processing. #1387 * Support `appcache` on Chrome for iOS. * Support literate CoffeeScript files with the extension `.coffee.md` (in addition to the already-supported `.litcoffee` extension). #1407 * Make `madewith` package work again (broken in 0.6.5). #1448 * Better error when passing a string to `{{#each}}`. #722 * Add support for JSESSIONID cookies for sticky sessions. Set the `USE_JSESSIONID` environment variable to enable placing a JSESSIONID cookie on sockjs requests. * Simplify the static analysis used to detect package-scope variables. * Upgraded dependencies: * Node from 0.8.24 to 0.10.20 * MongoDB from 2.4.4 to 2.4.6 * MongoDB driver from 1.3.17 to 1.3.19 * http-proxy from 0.10.1 to a pre-release of 1.0.0 * stylus from 0.30.1 to 0.37.0 * nib from 0.8.2 to 1.0.0 * optimist from 0.3.5 to 0.6.0 * semver from 1.1.0 to 2.1.0 * request from 2.12.0 to 2.27.0 * keypress from 0.1.0 to 0.2.1 * underscore from 1.5.1 to 1.5.2 * fstream from 0.1.21 to 0.1.24 * tar from 0.1.14 to 0.1.18 * source-map from 0.1.26 to 0.1.30 * source-map-support from a fork of 0.1.8 to 0.2.3 * escope from a fork of 0.0.15 to 1.0.0 * estraverse from 1.1.2-1 to 1.3.1 * simplesmtp from 0.1.25 to 0.3.10 * stream-buffers from 0.2.3 to 0.2.5 * websocket from 1.0.7 to 1.0.8 * cli-color from 0.2.2 to 0.2.3 * clean-css from 1.0.11 to 1.1.2 * UglifyJS2 from a fork of 2.3.6 to a different fork of 2.4.0 * connect from 2.7.10 to 2.9.0 * send from 0.1.0 to 0.1.4 * useragent from 2.0.1 to 2.0.7 * replaced byline with eachline 2.3.3 Patches contributed by GitHub users ansman, awwx, codeinthehole, jacott, Maxhodges, meawoppl, mitar, mizzao, mquandalle, nathan-muir, RobertLowe, ryw, sdarnell, and timhaines. ## v0.6.5.1 * Fix syntax errors on lines that end with a backslash. #1326 * Fix serving static files with special characters in their name. #1339 * Upgrade `esprima` JavaScript parser to fix bug parsing complex regexps. * Export `Spiderable` from `spiderable` package to allow users to set `Spiderable.userAgentRegExps` to control what user agents are treated as spiders. * Add EJSON to standard-app-packages. #1343 * Fix bug in d3 tab character parsing. * Fix regression when using Mongo ObjectIDs in Spark templates. ## v0.6.5 * New package system with package compiler and linker: * Each package now has it own namespace for variable declarations. Global variables used in a package are limited to package scope. * Packages must explicitly declare which symbols they export with `api.export` in `package.js`. * Apps and packages only see the exported symbols from packages they explicitly use. For example, if your app uses package A which in turn depends on package B, only package A's symbols will be available in the app. * Package names can only contain alphanumeric characters, dashes, and dots. Packages with spaces and underscores must be renamed. * Remove hardcoded list of required packages. New default `standard-app-packages` package adds dependencies on the core Meteor stack. This package can be removed to make an app with only parts of the Meteor stack. `standard-app-packages` will be automatically added to a project when it is updated to Meteor 0.6.5. * Custom app packages in the `packages` directory are no longer automatically used. They must be explicitly added to the app with `meteor add `. To help with the transition, all packages in the `packages` directory will be automatically added to the project when it is updated to Meteor 0.6.5. * New "unipackage" on-disk format for built packages. Compiled packages are cached and rebuilt only when their source or dependencies change. * Add "unordered" and "weak" package dependency modes to allow circular package dependencies and conditional code inclusion. * New API (`_transitional_registerBuildPlugin`) for declaring compilers, preprocessors, and file extension handlers. These new build plugins are full compilation targets in their own right, and have their own namespace, source files, NPM requirements, and package dependencies. The old `register_extension` API is deprecated. Please note that the `package.js` format and especially `_transitional_registerBuildPlugin` are not frozen interfaces and are subject to change in future releases. * Add `api.imply`, which allows one package to "imply" another. If package A implies package B, then anything that depends on package A automatically depends on package B as well (and receives package B's imports). This is useful for creating umbrella packages (`standard-app-packages`) or sometimes for factoring common code out of related packages (`accounts-base`). * Move HTTP serving out of the server bootstrap and into the `webapp` package. This allows building Meteor apps that are not web servers (eg. command line tools, DDP clients, etc.). Connect middlewares can now be registered on the new `WebApp.connectHandlers` instead of the old `__meteor_bootstrap__.app`. * The entire Meteor build process now has first-class source map support. A source map is maintained for every source file as it passes through the build pipeline. Currently, the source maps are only served in development mode. Not all web browsers support source maps yet and for those that do, you may have to turn on an option to enable them. Source maps will always be used when reporting exceptions on the server. * Update the `coffeescript` package to generate source maps. * Add new `Assets` API and `private` subdirectory for including and accessing static assets on the server. http://docs.meteor.com/#assets * Add `Meteor.disconnect`. Call this to disconnect from the server and stop all live data updates. #1151 * Add `Match.Integer` to `check` for 32-bit signed integers. * `Meteor.connect` has been renamed to `DDP.connect` and is now fully supported on the server. Server-to-server DDP connections use websockets, and can be used for both method calls and subscriptions. * Rename `Meteor.default_connection` to `Meteor.connection` and `Meteor.default_server` to `Meteor.server`. * Rename `Meteor.http` to `HTTP`. * `ROOT_URL` may now have a path part. This allows serving multiple Meteor apps on the same domain. * Support creating named unmanaged collections with `new Meteor.Collection("name", {connection: null})`. * New `Log` function in the `logging` package which prints with timestamps, color, filenames and linenumbers. * Include http response in errors from oauth providers. #1246 * The `observe` callback `movedTo` now has a fourth argument `before`. * Move NPM control files for packages from `.npm` to `.npm/package`. This is to allow build plugins such as `coffeescript` to depend on NPM packages. Also, when removing the last NPM dependency, clean up the `.npm` dir. * Remove deprecated `Meteor.is_client` and `Meteor.is_server` variables. * Implement "meteor bundle --debug" #748 * Add `forceApprovalPrompt` option to `Meteor.loginWithGoogle`. #1226 * Make server-side Mongo `insert`s, `update`s, and `remove`s run asynchronously when a callback is passed. * Improve memory usage when calling `findOne()` on the server. * Delete login tokens from server when user logs out. * Rename package compatibility mode option to `add_files` from `raw` to `bare`. * Fix Mongo selectors of the form: {$regex: /foo/}. * Fix Spark memory leak. #1157 * Fix EPIPEs during dev mode hot code reload. * Fix bug where we would never quiesce if we tried to revive subs that errored out (5e7138d) * Fix bug where `this.fieldname` in handlebars template might refer to a helper instead of a property of the current data context. #1143 * Fix submit events on IE8. #1191 * Handle `Meteor.loginWithX` being called with a callback but no options. #1181 * Work around a Chrome bug where hitting reload could cause a tab to lose the DDP connection and never recover. #1244 * Upgraded dependencies: * Node from 0.8.18 to 0.8.24 * MongoDB from 2.4.3 to 2.4.4, now with SSL support * CleanCSS from 0.8.3 to 1.0.11 * Underscore from 1.4.4 to 1.5.1 * Fibers from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 * MongoDB Driver from 1.3.7 to 1.3.17 Patches contributed by GitHub users btipling, mizzao, timhaines and zol. ## v0.6.4.1 * Update mongodb driver to use version 0.2.1 of the bson module. ## v0.6.4 * Separate OAuth flow logic from Accounts into separate packages. The `facebook`, `github`, `google`, `meetup`, `twitter`, and `weibo` packages can be used to perform an OAuth exchange without creating an account and logging in. #1024 * If you set the `DISABLE_WEBSOCKETS` environment variable, browsers will not attempt to connect to your app using Websockets. Use this if you know your server environment does not properly proxy Websockets to reduce connection startup time. * Make `Meteor.defer` work in an inactive tab in iOS. #1023 * Allow new `Random` instances to be constructed with specified seed. This can be used to create repeatable test cases for code that picks random values. #1033 * Fix CoffeeScript error reporting to include source file and line number again. #1052 * Fix Mongo queries which nested JavaScript RegExp objects inside `$or`. #1089 * Upgraded dependencies: * Underscore from 1.4.2 to 1.4.4 #776 * http-proxy from 0.8.5 to 0.10.1 #513 * connect from 1.9.2 to 2.7.10 * Node mongodb client from 1.2.13 to 1.3.7 #1060 Patches contributed by GitHub users awwx, johnston, and timhaines. ## v0.6.3 * Add new `check` package for ensuring that a value matches a required type and structure. This is used to validate untrusted input from the client. See http://docs.meteor.com/#match for details. * Use Websockets by default on supported browsers. This reduces latency and eliminates the constant network spinner on iOS devices. * With `autopublish` on, publish many useful fields on `Meteor.users`. * Files in the `client/compatibility/` subdirectory of a Meteor app do not get wrapped in a new variable scope. This is useful for third-party libraries which expect `var` statements at the outermost level to be global. * Add synthetic `tap` event for use on touch enabled devices. This is a replacement for `click` that fires immediately. * When using the `http` package synchronously on the server, errors are thrown rather than passed in `result.error` * The `manager` option to the `Meteor.Collection` constructor is now called `connection`. The old name still works for now. #987 * The `localstorage-polyfill` smart package has been replaced by a `localstorage` package, which defines a `Meteor._localStorage` API instead of trying to replace the DOM `window.localStorage` facility. (Now, apps can use the existence of `window.localStorage` to detect if the full localStorage API is supported.) #979 * Upgrade MongoDB from 2.2.1 to 2.4.3. * Upgrade CoffeeScript from 1.5.0 to 1.6.2. #972 * Faster reconnects when regaining connectivity. #696 * `Email.send` has a new `headers` option to set arbitrary headers. #963 * Cursor transform functions on the server no longer are required to return objects with correct `_id` fields. #974 * Rework `observe()` callback ordering in minimongo to improve fiber safety on the server. This makes subscriptions on server to server DDP more usable. * Use binary search in minimongo when updating ordered queries. #969 * Fix EJSON base64 decoding bug. #1001 * Support `appcache` on Chromium. #958 Patches contributed by GitHub users awwx, jagill, spang, and timhaines. ## v0.6.2.1 * When authenticating with GitHub, include a user agent string. This unbreaks "Sign in with GitHub" Patch contributed by GitHub user pmark. ## v0.6.2 * Better error reporting: * Capture real stack traces for `Meteor.Error`. * Report better errors with misconfigured OAuth services. * Add per-package upgrade notices to `meteor update`. * Experimental server-to-server DDP support: `Meteor.connect` on the server will connect to a remote DDP endpoint via WebSockets. Method calls should work fine, but subscriptions and minimongo on the server are still a work in progress. * Upgrade d3 from 2.x to 3.1.4. See https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/Upgrading-to-3.0 for compatibility notes. * Allow CoffeeScript to set global variables when using `use strict`. #933 * Return the inserted documented ID from `LocalCollection.insert`. #908 * Add Weibo token expiration time to `services.weibo.expiresAt`. * `Spiderable.userAgentRegExps` can now be modified to change what user agents are treated as spiders by the `spiderable` package. * Prevent observe callbacks from affecting the arguments to identical observes. #855 * Fix meteor command line tool when run from a home directory with spaces in its name. If you previously installed meteor release 0.6.0 or 0.6.1 you'll need to uninstall and reinstall meteor to support users with spaces in their usernames (see https://github.com/meteor/meteor/blob/master/README.md#uninstalling-meteor) Patches contributed by GitHub users andreas-karlsson, awwx, jacott, joshuaconner, and timhaines. ## v0.6.1 * Correct NPM behavior in packages in case there is a `node_modules` directory somewhere above the app directory. #927 * Small bug fix in the low-level `routepolicy` package. Patches contributed by GitHub users andreas-karlsson and awwx. ## v0.6.0 * Meteor has a brand new distribution system! In this new system, code-named Engine, packages are downloaded individually and on demand. All of the packages in each official Meteor release are prefetched and cached so you can still use Meteor while offline. You can have multiple releases of Meteor installed simultaneously; apps are pinned to specific Meteor releases. All `meteor` commands accept a `--release` argument to specify which release to use; `meteor update` changes what release the app is pinned to. Inside an app, the name of the release is available at `Meteor.release`. When running Meteor directly from a git checkout, the release is ignored. * Variables declared with `var` at the outermost level of a JavaScript source file are now private to that file. Remove the `var` to share a value between files. * Meteor now supports any x86 (32- or 64-bit) Linux system, not just those which use Debian or RedHat package management. * Apps may contain packages inside a top-level directory named `packages`. * Packages may depend on [NPM modules](https://npmjs.org), using the new `Npm.depends` directive in their `package.js` file. (Note: if the NPM module has architecture-specific binary components, bundles built with `meteor bundle` or `meteor deploy` will contain the components as built for the developer's platform and may not run on other platforms.) * Meteor's internal package tests (as well as tests you add to your app's packages with the unsupported `Tinytest` framework) are now run with the new command `meteor test-packages`. * `{{#each}}` helper can now iterate over falsey values without throwing an exception. #815, #801 * `{{#with}}` helper now only includes its block if its argument is not falsey, and runs an `{{else}}` block if provided if the argument is falsey. #770, #866 * Twitter login now stores `profile_image_url` and `profile_image_url_https` attributes in the `user.services.twitter` namespace. #788 * Allow packages to register file extensions with dots in the filename. * When calling `this.changed` in a publish function, it is no longer an error to clear a field which was never set. #850 * Deps API * Add `dep.depend()`, deprecate `Deps.depend(dep)` and `dep.addDependent()`. * If first run of `Deps.autorun` throws an exception, stop it and don't rerun. This prevents a Spark exception when template rendering fails ("Can't call 'firstNode' of undefined"). * If an exception is thrown during `Deps.flush` with no stack, the message is logged instead. #822 * When connecting to MongoDB, use the JavaScript BSON parser unless specifically requested in `MONGO_URL`; the native BSON parser sometimes segfaults. (Meteor only started using the native parser in 0.5.8.) * Calls to the `update` collection function in untrusted code may only use a whitelisted list of modifier operators. Patches contributed by GitHub users awwx, blackcoat, cmather, estark37, mquandalle, Primigenus, raix, reustle, and timhaines. ## v0.5.9 * Fix regression in 0.5.8 that prevented users from editing their own profile. #809 * Fix regression in 0.5.8 where `Meteor.loggingIn()` would not update reactively. #811 ## v0.5.8 * Calls to the `update` and `remove` collection functions in untrusted code may no longer use arbitrary selectors. You must specify a single document ID when invoking these functions from the client (other than in a method stub). You may still use other selectors when calling `update` and `remove` on the server and from client method stubs, so you can replace calls that are no longer supported (eg, in event handlers) with custom method calls. The corresponding `update` and `remove` callbacks passed to `allow` and `deny` now take a single document instead of an array. * Add new `appcache` package. Add this package to your project to speed up page load and make hot code reload smoother using the HTML5 AppCache API. See http://docs.meteor.com/#appcache for details. * Rewrite reactivity library. `Meteor.deps` is now `Deps` and has a new API. `Meteor.autorun` and `Meteor.flush` are now called `Deps.autorun` and `Deps.flush` (the old names still work for now). The other names under `Meteor.deps` such as `Context` no longer exist. The new API is documented at http://docs.meteor.com/#deps * You can now provide a `transform` option to collections, which is a function that documents coming out of that collection are passed through. `find`, `findOne`, `allow`, and `deny` now take `transform` options, which may override the Collection's `transform`. Specifying a `transform` of `null` causes you to receive the documents unmodified. * Publish functions may now return an array of cursors to publish. Currently, the cursors must all be from different collections. #716 * User documents have id's when `onCreateUser` and `validateNewUser` hooks run. * Encode and store custom EJSON types in MongoDB. * Support literate CoffeeScript files with the extension `.litcoffee`. #766 * Add new login service provider for Meetup.com in `accounts-meetup` package. * If you call `observe` or `observeChanges` on a cursor created with the `reactive: false` option, it now only calls initial add callbacks and does not continue watching the query. #771 * In an event handler, if the data context is falsey, default it to `{}` rather than to the global object. #777 * Allow specifying multiple event handlers for the same selector. #753 * Revert caching header change from 0.5.5. This fixes image flicker on redraw. * Stop making `Session` available on the server; it's not useful there. #751 * Force URLs in stack traces in browser consoles to be hyperlinks. #725 * Suppress spurious `changed` callbacks with empty `fields` from `Cursor.observeChanges`. * Fix logic bug in template branch matching. #724 * Make `spiderable` user-agent test case insensitive. #721 * Fix several bugs in EJSON type support: * Fix `{$type: 5}` selectors for binary values on browsers that do not support `Uint8Array`. * Fix EJSON equality on falsey values. * Fix for returning a scalar EJSON type from a method. #731 * Upgraded dependencies: * mongodb driver to version 1.2.13 (from 0.1.11) * mime module removed (it was unused) Patches contributed by GitHub users awwx, cmather, graemian, jagill, jmhredsox, kevinxucs, krizka, mitar, raix, and rasmuserik. ## v0.5.7 * The DDP wire protocol has been redesigned. * The handshake message is now versioned. This breaks backwards compatibility between sites with `Meteor.connect()`. Older meteor apps can not talk to new apps and vice versa. This includes the `madewith` package, apps using `madewith` must upgrade. * New [EJSON](http://docs.meteor.com/#ejson) package allows you to use Dates, Mongo ObjectIDs, and binary data in your collections and Session variables. You can also add your own custom datatypes. * Meteor now correctly represents empty documents in Collections. * There is an informal specification in `packages/livedata/DDP.md`. * Breaking API changes * Changed the API for `observe`. Observing with `added`, `changed` and `removed` callbacks is now unordered; for ordering information use `addedAt`, `changedAt`, `removedAt`, and `movedTo`. Full documentation is in the [`observe` docs](http://docs.meteor.com/#observe). All callers of `observe` need to be updated. * Changed the API for publish functions that do not return a cursor (ie functions that call `this.set` and `this.unset`). See the [`publish` docs](http://docs.meteor.com/#meteor_publish) for the new API. * New Features * Added new [`observeChanges`](http://docs.meteor.com/#observe_changes) API for keeping track of the contents of a cursor more efficiently. * There is a new reactive function on subscription handles: `ready()` returns true when the subscription has received all of its initial documents. * Added `Session.setDefault(key, value)` so you can easily provide initial values for session variables that will not be clobbered on hot code push. * You can specify that a collection should use MongoDB ObjectIDs as its `_id` fields for inserts instead of strings. This allows you to use Meteor with existing MongoDB databases that have ObjectID `_id`s. If you do this, you must use `EJSON.equals()` for comparing equality instead of `===`. See http://docs.meteor.com/#meteor_collection. * New [`random` package](http://docs.meteor.com/#random) provides several functions for generating random values. The new `Random.id()` function is used to provide shorter string IDs for MongoDB documents. `Meteor.uuid()` is deprecated. * `Meteor.status()` can return the status `failed` if DDP version negotiation fails. * Major Performance Enhancements * Rewrote subscription duplication detection logic to use a more efficient algorithm. This significantly reduces CPU usage on the server during initial page load and when dealing with large amounts of data. * Reduced unnecessary MongoDB re-polling of live queries. Meteor no longer polls for changes on queries that specify `_id` when updates for a different specific `_id` are processed. This drastically improves performance when dealing with many subscriptions and updates to individual objects, such as those generated by the `accounts-base` package on the `Meteor.users` collection. * Upgraded UglifyJS2 to version 2.2.5 Patches contributed by GitHub users awwx and michaelglenadams. ## v0.5.6 * Fix 0.5.5 regression: Minimongo selectors matching subdocuments under arrays did not work correctly. * Some Bootstrap icons should have appeared white. Patches contributed by GitHub user benjaminchelli. ## v0.5.5 * Deprecate `Meteor.autosubscribe`. `Meteor.subscribe` now works within `Meteor.autorun`. * Allow access to `Meteor.settings.public` on the client. If the JSON file you gave to `meteor --settings` includes a field called `public`, that field will be available on the client as well as the server. * `@import` works in `less`. Use the `.lessimport` file extension to make a less file that is ignored by preprocessor so as to avoid double processing. #203 * Upgrade Fibers to version 1.0.0. The `Fiber` and `Future` symbols are no longer exposed globally. To use fibers directly you can use: `var Fiber = __meteor_bootstrap__.require('fibers');` and `var Future = __meteor_bootstrap__.require('fibers/future');` * Call version 1.1 of the Twitter API when authenticating with OAuth. `accounts-twitter` users have until March 5th, 2013 to upgrade before Twitter disables the old API. #527 * Treat Twitter ids as strings, not numbers, as recommended by Twitter. #629 * You can now specify the `_id` field of a document passed to `insert`. Meteor still auto-generates `_id` if it is not present. * Expose an `invalidated` flag on `Meteor.deps.Context`. * Populate user record with additional data from Facebook and Google. #664 * Add Facebook token expiration time to `services.facebook.expiresAt`. #576 * Allow piping a password to `meteor deploy` on `stdin`. #623 * Correctly type cast arguments to handlebars helper. #617 * Fix leaked global `userId` symbol. * Terminate `phantomjs` properly on error when using the `spiderable` package. #571 * Stop serving non-cachable files with caching headers. #631 * Fix race condition if server restarted between page load and initial DDP connection. #653 * Resolve issue where login methods sometimes blocked future methods. #555 * Fix `Meteor.http` parsing of JSON responses on Firefox. #553 * Minimongo no longer uses `eval`. #480 * Serve 404 for `/app.manifest`. This allows experimenting with the upcoming `appcache` smart package. #628 * Upgraded many dependencies, including: * node.js to version 0.8.18 * jquery-layout to version 1.3.0RC * Twitter Bootstrap to version 2.3.0 * Less to version 1.3.3 * Uglify to version 2.2.3 * useragent to version 2.0.1 Patches contributed by GitHub users awwx, bminer, bramp, crunchie84, danawoodman, dbimmler, Ed-von-Schleck, geoffd123, jperl, kevee, milesmatthias, Primigenus, raix, timhaines, and xenolf. ## v0.5.4 * Fix 0.5.3 regression: `meteor run` could fail on OSX 10.8 if environment variables such as `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH` are set. ## v0.5.3 * Add `--settings` argument to `meteor deploy` and `meteor run`. This allows you to specify deployment-specific information made available to server code in the variable `Meteor.settings`. * Support unlimited open tabs in a single browser. Work around the browser per-hostname connection limit by using randomized hostnames for deployed apps. #131 * minimongo improvements: * Allow observing cursors with `skip` or `limit`. #528 * Allow sorting on `dotted.sub.keys`. #533 * Allow querying specific array elements (`foo.1.bar`). * `$and`, `$or`, and `$nor` no longer accept empty arrays (for consistency with Mongo) * Re-rendering a template with Spark no longer reverts changes made by users to a `preserve`d form element. Instead, the newly rendered value is only applied if it is different from the previously rendered value. Additionally, elements with type other than TEXT can now have reactive values (eg, the labels on submit buttons can now be reactive). #510 #514 #523 #537 #558 * Support JavaScript RegExp objects in selectors in Collection write methods on the client, eg `myCollection.remove({foo: /bar/})`. #346 * `meteor` command-line improvements: * Improve error message when mongod fails to start. * The `NODE_OPTIONS` environment variable can be used to pass command-line flags to node (eg, `--debug` or `--debug-brk` to enable the debugger). * Die with error if an app name is mistakenly passed to `meteor reset`. * Add support for "offline" access tokens with Google login. #464 #525 * Don't remove `serviceData` fields from previous logins when logging in with an external service. * Improve `OAuth1Binding` to allow making authenticated API calls to OAuth1 providers (eg Twitter). #539 * New login providers automatically work with `{{loginButtons}}` without needing to edit the `accounts-ui-unstyled` package. #572 * Use `Content-Type: application/json` by default when sending JSON data with `Meteor.http`. * Improvements to `jsparse`: hex literals, keywords as property names, ES5 line continuations, trailing commas in object literals, line numbers in error messages, decimal literals starting with `.`, regex character classes with slashes. * Spark improvements: * Improve rendering of ` tags can now be reactive even in IE 7 and 8. * The `meteor` tool no longer gets confused if a parent directory of your project is named `public`. #352 * Fix a race condition in the `spiderable` package which could include garbage in the spidered page. * The REPL run by `admin/node.sh` no longer crashes Emacs M-x shell on exit. * Refactor internal `reload` API. * New internal `jsparse` smart package. Not yet exposed publicly. Patch contributed by GitHub user yanivoliver. ## v0.4.1 * New `email` smart package, with [`Email.send`](http://docs.meteor.com/#email) API. * Upgrade Node from 0.6.17 to 0.8.8, as well as many Node modules in the dev bundle; those that are user-exposed are: * coffee-script: 1.3.3 (from 1.3.1) * stylus: 0.29.0 (from 0.28.1) * nib: 0.8.2 (from 0.7.0) * All publicly documented APIs now use `camelCase` rather than `under_scores`. The old spellings continue to work for now. New names are: - `Meteor.isClient`/`isServer` - `this.isSimulation` inside a method invocation - `Meteor.deps.Context.onInvalidate` - `Meteor.status().retryCount`/`retryTime` * Spark improvements * Optimize selector matching for event maps. * Fix `Spark._currentRenderer` behavior in timer callbacks. * Fix bug caused by interaction between `Template.foo.preserve` and `{{#constant}}`. #323 * Allow `{{#each}}` over a collection of objects without `_id`. #281 * Spark now supports Firefox 3.6. * Added a script to build a standalone spark.js that does not depend on Meteor (it depends on jQuery or Sizzle if you need IE7 support, and otherwise is fully standalone). * Database writes from within `Meteor.setTimeout`/`setInterval`/`defer` will be batched with other writes from the current method invocation if they start before the method completes. * Make `Meteor.Cursor.forEach` fully synchronous even if the user's callback yields. #321. * Recover from exceptions thrown in `Meteor.publish` handlers. * Upgrade bootstrap to version 2.1.1. #336, #337, #288, #293 * Change the implementation of the `meteor deploy` password prompt to not crash Emacs M-x shell. * Optimize `LocalCollection.remove(id)` to be O(1) rather than O(n). * Optimize client-side database performance when receiving updated data from the server outside of method calls. * Better error reporting when a package in `.meteor/packages` does not exist. * Better error reporting for coffeescript. #331 * Better error handling in `Handlebars.Exception`. Patches contributed by GitHub users fivethirty, tmeasday, and xenolf. ## v0.4.0 * Merge Spark, a new live page update engine * Breaking API changes * Input elements no longer preserved based on `id` and `name` attributes. Use [`preserve`](http://docs.meteor.com/#template_preserve) instead. * All `Meteor.ui` functions removed. Use `Meteor.render`, `Meteor.renderList`, and [Spark](https://github.com/meteor/meteor/wiki/Spark) functions instead. * New template functions (eg. `created`, `rendered`, etc) may collide with existing helpers. Use `Template.foo.helpers()` to avoid conflicts. * New syntax for declaring event maps. Use `Template.foo.events({...})`. For backwards compatibility, both syntaxes are allowed for now. * New Template features * Allow embedding non-Meteor widgets (eg. Google Maps) using [`{{#constant}}`](http://docs.meteor.com/#constant) * Callbacks when templates are rendered. See http://docs.meteor.com/#template_rendered * Explicit control of which nodes are preserved during re-rendering. See http://docs.meteor.com/#template_preserve * Easily find nodes within a template in event handlers and callbacks. See http://docs.meteor.com/#template_find * Allow parts of a template to be independently reactive with the [`{{#isolate}}`](http://docs.meteor.com/#isolate) block helper. * Use PACKAGE_DIRS environment variable to override package location. #227 * Add `absolute-url` package to construct URLs pointing to the application. * Allow modifying documents returned by `observe` callbacks. #209 * Fix periodic crash after client disconnect. #212 * Fix minimingo crash on dotted queries with undefined keys. #126 ## v0.3.9 * Add `spiderable` package to allow web crawlers to index Meteor apps. * `meteor deploy` uses SSL to protect application deployment. * Fix `stopImmediatePropagation()`. #205 ## v0.3.8 * HTTPS support * Add `force-ssl` package to require site to load over HTTPS. * Use HTTPS for install script and `meteor update`. * Allow runtime configuration of default DDP endpoint. * Handlebars improvements * Implement dotted path traversal for helpers and methods. * Allow functions in helper arguments. * Change helper nesting rules to allow functions as arguments. * Fix `{{this.foo}}` to never invoke helper `foo`. * Make event handler `this` reflect the node that matched the selector instead of the event target node. * Fix keyword arguments to helpers. * Add `nib` support to stylus package. #175 * Upgrade bootstrap to version 2.0.4. #173 * Print changelog after `meteor update`. * Fix mouseenter and mouseleave events. #224 * Fix issue with spurious heartbeat failures on busy connections. * Fix exception in minimongo when matching non-arrays using `$all`. #183 * Fix serving an empty file when no cacheable assets exist. #179 ## v0.3.7 * Better parsing of `.html` template files * Allow HTML comments (``) at top level * Allow whitespace anywhere in open/close tag * Provide names and line numbers on error * More helpful error messages * Form control improvements * Fix reactive radio buttons in Internet Explorer. * Fix reactive textareas to update consistently across browsers, matching text field behavior. * `http` package bug fixes: * Send correct Content-Type when POSTing `params` from the server. #172 * Correctly detect JSON response Content-Type when a charset is present. * Support `Handlebars.SafeString`. #160 * Fix intermittent "Cursor is closed" mongo error. * Fix "Cannot read property 'nextSibling' of null" error in certain nested templates. #142 * Add heartbeat timer on the client to notice when the server silently goes away. ## v0.3.6 * Rewrite event handling. `this` in event handlers now refers to the data context of the element that generated the event, *not* the top-level data context of the template where the event is declared. * Add /websocket endpoint for raw websockets. Pass websockets through development mode proxy. * Simplified API for Meteor.connect, which now receives a URL to a Meteor app rather than to a sockjs endpoint. * Fix livedata to support subscriptions with overlapping documents. * Update node.js to 0.6.17 to fix potential security issue. ## v0.3.5 * Fix 0.3.4 regression: Call event map handlers on bubbled events. #107 ## v0.3.4 * Add Twitter `bootstrap` package. #84 * Add packages for `sass` and `stylus` CSS pre-processors. #40, #50 * Bind events correctly on top level elements in a template. * Fix dotted path selectors in minimongo. #88 * Make `backbone` package also run on the server. * Add `bare` option to coffee-script compilation so variables can be shared between multiple coffee-script file. #85 * Upgrade many dependency versions. User visible highlights: * node.js 0.6.15 * coffee-script 1.3.1 * less 1.3.0 * sockjs 0.3.1 * underscore 1.3.3 * backbone 0.9.2 * Several documentation fixes and test coverage improvements. ## v0.3.3 * Add `http` package for making HTTP requests to remote servers. * Add `madewith` package to put a live-updating Made with Meteor badge on apps. * Reduce size of mongo database on disk (--smallfiles). * Prevent unnecessary hot-code pushes on deployed apps during server migration. * Fix issue with spaces in directory names. #39 * Workaround browser caching issues in development mode by using query parameters on all JavaScript and CSS requests. * Many documentation and test fixups. ## v0.3.2 * Initial public launch
