Hey people, just a quick update:

Our team is currently transitioning from using Favro to GitHub Projects. This move will allow us to have all our MeteorJS-related information in one location, making it easier for everyone to access and keep track of the status of the Fibers Public Roadmap.

Here is the link to Fibers Public Roadmap

Regarding the latest tasks updates, we are releasing Meteor 3.0 Alpha. We are currently addressing some issues related to the version bump, and we aim to release the Alpha as soon as possible. Rest assured, I will keep you informed of any further developments.

So Meteor 3.0 is all about Fibers?

Just asked AI about it: “… keep in mind that the actual use of fibers can get much more complex, especially when error handling and more complex control flows are involved. Furthermore, the fibers package is not the recommended way of handling asynchronous operations in modern JavaScript. Promises and async/await syntax provide a much more robust and easier-to-understand method of handling async operations and are generally recommended for most use cases.”

26

We are transitioning from Fibers due to its lack of support in Node.js versions beyond 14. As we move forward, we’re targeting Node.js v18 for Meteor 3.0 and plan to upgrade to Node.js v20. While we’ll be implementing numerous improvements, the primary distinction between Meteor 2.x and Meteor 3.0 will be the adoption of async/await syntax and the removal of Fibers.

Good news - Meteor 3.0 is about moving off of fibers, to promises and async/await. :slight_smile:

Fantastic. This is one of our major blockers for migration.

Hi I tried meteor update —release 3.0-alpha.6 but node version behind it is still 14.21.3
which ended life in April this year. Is there any plan or other release that allows using meteor with newr node? Many packages are not usable in meteor anymore due to this.
