meteor/docs/generators/changelog/versions/2.14.md

v2.14.0, 2023-12-12

Highlights

Hacktoberfest release! 🎉

• MongoDB driver has been updated to v4.17.2.

• You can now set DISABLE_SOCKJS_CORS=1 if you want to prevent SockJS from setting CORS headers. Do not set this option if you will have DDP clients from other origins connecting to the DDP server. [PR #12789]

• Added guide on how to prepare for Meteor 3.0 migration.

• New DDP merge strategy NO_MERGE_MULTI, which is similar to NO_MERGE, but it does track whether a document is used by multiple publications. [PR #12742]

• Appcache has been further deprecated and moved to the deprecated packages folder.

• Added Accounts.createUserAsync into the client.

• Many packages had their underscore dependency removed.

• Cordova has been updated to v12.0.1 for Android and v7.0.1 for iOS, being able to build to SDK 33.

• meteor create command is now interactive!

• Added firstRunPromise property to Tracker autorun blocks, that forces autorun blocks to be executed in synchronous-looking order by storing the value autorun promise thus making it awaitable.

Migration Steps

Android splash screen

If you have been using splash-screen for Cordova, you need to update your code as Android changed their splash screen API, the cordova-plugin-splashscreen is now on cordova-android core, so we have removed the dependency from the splash-screen package. As a result we are dropping the support for dark mode splash screen on Android.

To create this now you need to create two themes on your config.xml file.

Note that it's still possible to have it by adding the according themes with App.appendToConfig and App.addResourceFile - but this is not something Meteor will do automatically right now.

For more information you can check our Migration Guide
