Any Meteor 1.2 preview build available?

[sawyr]

I’m planning to use develop an app targeting Meteor 1.2, is there a Meteor 1.2 early build available?

You can always use the current dev build from github:

meteor/meteor

Just follow the instructions at “slow start for developers”.

Is it possible that I can use two versions of Meteor at the same time? I have an another app developed in current stable version.

Using a Meteor binary that you’ve built from source (“slow start for developers”) doesn’t affect your regular, installed Meteor version. So you can have both in parallel.

Yes:

Try out a preview of batch build plugins (and other 1.2 features)!

The new PLUGINS-PREVIEW@2 pre-release has been pushed. The updates from the previous preview: fixed some importing from imports bugs in Stylus QA'd and tested on Windows (fixed bugs relevant to handling paths) all build plugins should prefer using Plugin.fs and Plugin.path that work with the standard paths (/C/some path/file.exe as opposed to C:\some path\files.exe) fixed import in accounts-ui's less file a jscript fix for the babel-compiler package renewed dev-bundle working well for Windows …

It includes

a new core ecmascript package which uses Babel to let you write Meteor code in ES2015 (similar to grigio:babel)

Try it out with meteor --release PLUGINS-PREVIEW@2.
