A new step in the right direction: the fresh Meteor 1.3 brings features needed for larger developments: adding integration testing, seamless NPM support (using React for Meteor development just becomes easier) and the modularity features from ES2015. Plus small improvements like better upgrade of iOS and Android applications. Or faster refresh when files are modified (this just made my Meteor productivity go from super high to extremely high).
Even better: the Meteor guide is up to date, providing guidance for this release. Now Meteor productivity comes to an unprecedented level of support for larger applications.
Using 1.3 in previous applications is as easy as "meteor update", and new projects are just a "meteor create" command-line away. A nice trick also: running meteor instances automatically download the 1.3 version in the background so the upgrade process is faster once you decide to go for it. Once again I'm gladly surprised by how much care the MDG puts into such small details that make DevOps so easier. I just uploaded a Meteor application from 1.2.1 to 1.3 with no problem, on my development machine, test machine, and production one. Test and production were automatically updated, it was just a matter of pushing the new files to the server.
