3. New Meteor Forums
February 17, 2015
After a long time of using Google Groups, MDG has decided to switch to a
Discourse-based forum.
It is already more active than the previous Google Groups and is MUCH easier
to use.
Join in on the discussion!

6. Preview of Meteor on Windows
March 4, 2015
Windows Preview 0.2.0
New Windows preview release comes with a brand new WiX installer.
It's good to see MDG hard at work to get Meteor working cross-platform.

7. Meteor 1.0.4
March ??, 2015
Meteor is now tested against MongoDB 2.6. Meteor uses version of Node
Mongo driver compatible with MongoDB 3.0, so should work, but not tested yet.
Template instances now have a subscribe method that functions exactly like
Meteor.subscribe, but stops the subscription when the template is destroyed.
Use Session.set({k1: v1, k2: v2}) to set multiple values at once.
Template.instance() now works inside Template.body.
Upgrade the Cordova and NPM dependencies.
