Comment by Somasundaram Ayyappan on "Should I wait for MERN V2.0 release?"

Absolutely! MERN v2 has ton of changes like

Improved file structure.
Upgraded to webpack 2 with support for tree shaking.
Code splitting with react router.
Webpack loaders for assets.
Uses Ava test runner
MERN cli can now generate components, routes, controllers, etc.
PostCSS with CSS modules support.
One more interesting feature is that you can create your own version of MERN starter project like MERN with Material UI or MERN with JWT auth, etc and add the link to your repository in mern-cli. So that everybody can start using your version of MERN. More info, here.

Most of the tasks are done. We will release within this week.

A toast for the upcoming release!

Server side webpack asset loaders! ❤

Would you advice against cloning the v2 branch and start from there? I ask that mostly beucause I see it it using webpack 1

@kandros v2 branch uses webpack 2 already.

@somu my bad, victim of 'too many open tabs', saw the single one pointing master :) btw thats great thanks you

Small caveat: I'm experiencing issues with code splitting in React Router when combined with server rendering in React 15. The client render will contain null (comment) render, and "discard" server markup. I'm still figuring out where to report this, I'll make a minimal repro soon and start discussion on React Router Github.

@stevenlangbroek There is already an open issue in github. There is a PR to fix that which is yet to be reviewed. The problem will be solved soon.

@somu huh, interesting. taking a look at the fix.
