I’m running into Error: SQLITE_IOERR: disk I/O error as I tried to do the update (from 1.5.2.1)

Just updated one of my new WIP projects to 1.6 beta and it’s excellent! Thanks a lot to all involved.

Where can we see the changelog/fixes for the different RC’s?

@rjdavid We don’t keep individual change logs for each beta and RC, since the Git commit log is generally more useful for that. You can look through the commit log for Meteor 1.6 at this link. The actual releases are separated by a “Bump package versions for <version>” commit message. Hope this helps!

Now the release candidate is yesterday too: 1.6 has been released

## v.NEXT

* The `meteor-babel` npm package (along with its Babel-related
  dependencies) has been updated to version 7.0.0-beta.35, a major update
  from Babel 6. Thanks to the strong abstraction of the `meteor-babel`
  package, the most noticeable consequence of the Babel 7 upgrade is that
  the `babel-runtime` npm package has been replaced by `@babel/runtime`,
  which can be installed by running
  ```js
  meteor npm install @babel/runtime
  ```
  in your application directory. There's a good chance that the old
  `babel-runtime` package can be removed from your `package.json`
  dependencies, though there's no harm in leaving it there. Please see
  [this blog post](https://babeljs.io/blog/2017/09/12/planning-for-7.0)
  for general information about updating to Babel 7 (note especially any
  changes to plugins you've been using in any `.babelrc` files).

* The previously served `/manifest.json` application metadata file is now
