1.2 Docs now that 1.3 is released?

Just noticed this morning that http://docs.meteor.com/#/full/ now only contains the 1.3 docs, unlike the Meteor Guide, which has a small select on top to switch between 1.2 and 1.3.

Any hope of a similar ability to choose version on http://docs.meteor.com ?

The docs site doesn’t include this functionality, but docs matching each Meteor release are included as a runnable meteor app. If you want 1.2 docs for example, you can:

  1. git clone https://github.com/meteor/meteor.git
  2. cd meteor; git checkout release/METEOR@1.2.1
  3. cd docs
  4. meteor
  5. Access 1.2.1 docs at the usual http://localhost:3000

Thanks for the suggestion. Actually, I had to add two small changes, to avoid locking other programs, but it works nicely indeed. And it’s even documented in the top-level README:

  • use an alternate port
  • specify using meteor 1.2.1 to avoid updates

meteor --release 1.2.1 --port 6200

We’re hoping to eventually move the docs onto the same infrastructure as the guide, so that we can get continuous deployment and a version selector!
