Dev Diary #21 - Collection Extensions Merged, Jobs Package Update, and Apollo Improvements
We’re wrapping up an intense month this time. Right off the bat, lai:collection-extensions has been merged into the core finally, and now it’s stated clearly to use the core utilities instead of the package.
This marks the death of a second collections-related package; the first was mongo-collection-instances. This was touched upon in a previous community post where I discussed whether Astronomy should be merged into collection2 or not. But now two of the big collection utilities are offered directly by the core.
wildhart:jobs has been made 3.x friendly. Hopefully the original author has some time to look into it and approve it!
Meteor Grapher is pending quality of life changes.
Orderlion’s ddp-apollo, which is a fork of swydo:ddp-apollo, also got a nice set of updates that should make it more efficient and independent. Their fork had an underlying package that wasn’t published, so I published it under meteor-apollo-link-ddp.
