Meteor 1.8.2 is out! This is a minor release going further with improvements made in 1.8.1. The most notable change is the addition of
package.json configuration option for recompiling npm packages (goodbye symlinks) and official
Typescript compiler not to mention performance improvements.
Next, work has already started on Meteor 1.9 which is going to include upgrade to Node.js v12. You can watch the development in its
dedicated branch.
Meteor 1.8.3 is also being developed with focus on deduplicating jQuery, merging TypeScript improvements into core and anything else that was not ready for 1.8.2. The change here is that these changes will be merge directly into the devel branch so that the repository will look more active to outsiders.
Meteor based, extendable, project management platform has been announced. In addition there is a plugin contest with cash prizes ($$$) that you can participate in.
October has become in the development community known as Hacktoberfest. A month long drive to support development of FOSS and encourage developers to contribute to projects they use.
