Weekly Update, February 18th, 2025 –– Please test 3.2-beta.1

A few days ago we announced that: Meteor.js v3.1.2 is out! πŸŽ‰

Since then we have started working on 3.2 and currently, we have a beta version for you to try:

meteor update --release 3.2-beta.1

This beta includes:

Changes we would love the community to give it a shot at testing.


Nacho is also working on a 2.16 patch to help out with the Error building cordova project that we are having on the 2.x versions.

Next releases:

  • Meteor 3.2.0 (late-February/early March 2025)

It will help a lot for a migration guide, not only technically, but also how it should happen in operations for the removal of bcrypt.

Not all users will be migrated through a login and therefore has to be forced to reset passwords before removing bcrypt

As of my understanding, we will need that migration guide, but not immediately. It will be critical when bcrypt got removed.

We decided to roll out this feature in multiple phases.

The first phase is planned for 3.2 and won’t introduce any breaking changes. A guide on optionally enabling Argon2 is available in the docs. Feel free to share any feedback with the author there.

In the second phase, after broader community adoption, we plan to remove bcrypt. Guidance will be provided, considering insights from early adopters. A future version will introduce this as a breaking change with clear warnings and necessary actions.

@nachocodoner, which one is the case here:

  1. We are sure that bcrypt will be removed in the future
  2. Removal of bcrypt depends on the feedback about the use of argon2
