Pages that need to be updated:

  getBoilerplate is now async

• ordered-dict

  Added forEachAsync method

• oauth

  Private methods are now async. This might affect end user

  1 - OAuth._storeRequestToken and OAuth._retrieveRequestToken are async(maybe we need to review docs on how to use oauth1

  2 OAuth._requestHandlers['2']` is now async

• MongoDB

• Minimongo

  cursor.observe now returns isReady and isReadyPromise wich indicates if the cursor is ready and if the callbacks are have been called

  If you only use it in the Client or as a LocalCollection things have not changed

• Minifiers

  Minifiers are now async,

• HTTP

• Email

Email.send is no longer available. Use `Email.sendAsync` instead. needs to be updated in the docs as well

Updated types to reflext async methods and `Email.send` depracation.

Maybe we should be able to use both but it needs to be explained that send and sendAsync are the same

• Meteor
  Check changes to Meteor global and update docs

• Browser policy content

  some methods are now async

• DDP

  • Document .fence option

  • Document isAsyncCall method

just a quick update, guys:
The API docs are nearly ready*. I’ve updated it from our changelog, where I found that it was misleading/wrong.
Also, I’ve all our links from the docs. Some of them were redirected to nothing.
*: The API map page has a few redirects that are not working, but this is the next thing I should be solving, and then we will have new docs
For those who want to test it, here is the link: https://v3-docs.meteor.com/

**: Forgot I need to setup algolia as well
