Since I have been using it for a while through the beta and rc processes I can’t imagine things being any different. :smile:

Even if you’ve been using the beta’s and rc’s, I think you’ll still find the “What’s next” section of that post very interesting … :wink:

Great work folks :clap: It’s brilliant we’ve got Mongo 4 already and things like Typescript support and installing Meteor from npm would be great!

A few packages that you maybe need to update to have the benefits of recently added lazy compilation for scss files:

https://github.com/fourseven/meteor-scss (thanks @seba)
https://github.com/pathable/meteor-compass
https://github.com/pathable/meteor-susy

Latest versions:
fourseven:scss@4.10.0
pathable:compass@1.0.0
pathable:susy@3.0.0

Good update, but I’d have gone for a more positive title

Meteor 1.8 advances the innovations of Meteor 1.7
Meteor 1.8 supports MongoDB 4.0, Multi-Document Transactions and more

Delayed build of web.browser.legacy is good. Though how can we completely disable it in local development environment?

@benjamn Sorry for the ping, but can I ask you when do you plan to release the opinionated meteor + apollo + typescript project structure you wrote about in the announcement? E.g. it’s days, weeks or months away?

If you can believe it, we have even more opinions about the best way to set up an Apollo-based Meteor app, an app that uses TypeScript alongside ECMAScript, and many other different templates for new Meteor projects.
