📣 Meteor Supported Versions – Clarification & Transition Timeline

announce
1

Hey Meteor developers,

We’d like to clarify the current support status of the various Meteor versions and share what to expect moving forward. This has been long overdue, and we appreciate everyone’s patience as we’ve worked through major changes like the release of Meteor 3.

Here’s the official breakdown:

:no_entry_sign: Meteor 1.x – End-of-Life (EOL)
Meteor 1.x is no longer supported and is not receiving updates or security patches. We strongly encourage any remaining users to migrate to newer versions.

:warning: Meteor 2.x – Maintenance Mode starting July 2025
Meteor 2.x will enter Maintenance Mode in July 2025. From that point on, it will only receive critical security updates and no new features.
We will completely reach End-of-Life in December 2025
Reference: commit

:white_check_mark: Meteor 3.x – Active Support
Meteor 3 is our current officially supported version, with full ongoing development, improvements, and feature additions. This version includes significant architectural enhancements, including support for ESM and SWC.

We highly recommend upgrading to Meteor 3 as soon as possible to take advantage of modern features and maintain access to important updates.

If you have any questions or need help with your migration path, don’t hesitate to post here or reach out on GitHub.

Thanks for being part of the Meteor community!

Hi italojs,
Thanks for the clear breakdown and timeline; this helps to set expectations around support and upgrades. It’s good to see the roadmap for Meteor 2.x and the encouragement to move toward Meteor 3.x, especially with the new architectural improvements. Looking forward to seeing how the community adapts during this transition.
