So far we have released rc4 as we mentioned in our previous updates, and work is progressing well for our official Meteor 3 release.
You can check here for more details about our last Release Candidate.
The backlog has evolved a little over the last days with some issues gaining priority, our most important ones are as follows:
Incorrect Node.js version in Meteor project if the meteor-tool is missing, this has gone up in priority but it’s extremely hard to solve, we have a path forward but have some loose ends we need to account for, some tests on Windows are failing at the moment
The method call order when Meteor goes back from offline and authentication
Finding a replacement for @vlasky/whomst since it depends on a package called posix which builds a binary and breaks on some installations
We also confirmed that Cordova is working completely fine, this was done by @nachocodoner, one of our developers with the most expertise in that area.
We are also revamping the documentation and researching ways to simplify the mechanics for call and callAsync, we have @denyhs at this forefront and also huge help from @zodern . The goal is to make Meteor have the best Developer Experience as possible and the migration as simple as possible too.
Other tasks and fixes for the next, and official, Meteor 3.0 Release:
Unable to run bundle from “meteor build”
Ensure the documentation is up to date
Upgrade Node.js to v20.14
Improve package version resolution process
React Router SSR for Meteor 3
Remove pinned version of packages inside the skeletons
Add addEmailAsync alias
Incorrect Node.js version in Meteor 3 projects
Review Security Updates
Rename or remove asyncLocalStorage global
Verify tinytest major version increase
Meteor 3.0 is expected to arrive on Monday, July 8th or 15th at the most
Next Releases
Meteor 3.0.1 (July 22nd, 2024)
Meteor 3.0.2 (August 5th, 2024)
These dates are subject to change as we add or remove things from the backlog.
So far we have released rc4 as we mentioned in our previous updates, and work continues progressing well for our Meteor 3 official release.

We have launched our Meteor Lounge Discord server, you read more about it here.
Today we have successfully hosted our first Community Call where many amazing people joined like @storyteller@copleykj, to name just a few! We are going to host these regularly, the time is still to be defined. If you have any suggestions please reply below.
The error message you shared shows you that simple:rest 1.2.1 requires accounts-base-2.1.0, which is a version that is not compatible with meteor 3.0.
In order to fix this issue, you either need to update the package manually yourself, request an update to the package on github, but as you can see the development of this package has stopped, so alternatively I would recommend looking for an alternative or determining if you really need this package in your project and remove it.
Let me know if this helps and if you are able to upgrade!
also note, that simple:rest might not be required anymore since 3.0 uses express which basically provides all the functionality natively unless I missed a detail here.
simple:rest package automatically exposes your methods, publications and collections as rest endpoints. That’s not available as of now with the move to express.
Since 3.0.1 was the public release, I’m wondering if the schedule for 3.0.2 has moved forward at all? We’re eagerly awaiting 3.0.2 as I think this issue is a blocker for us to roll out Meteor 3 in production (it is I think what is underlying some weird behavior that is causing UX issues in our app).
