+'xstate': patch
+---
+
+The `state.meta` value is now calculated directly from `state.configuration`. This is most useful when starting a service from a persisted state:
+
+```ts
+  const machine = createMachine({
+    id: 'test',
+    initial: 'first',
+    states: {
+      first: {
+        meta: {
+          name: 'first state'
+        }
+      },
+      second: {
+        meta: {
+          name: 'second state'
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  });
+
+  const service = interpret(machine);
+
+  service.start('second'); // `meta` will be computed
+
+  // the state will have
+  // meta: {
+  //   'test.second': {
+  //     name: 'second state'
+  //   }
+  // }
+});
+```
