I'm tempted to release this as soon as all of the tests are fixed, just to make sure we have a clean slate for the forthcoming release of 8.4.0.

Agree.. specially as the composer.json fix should get in on a release sooner than later. Although I don't normally install dev packages with it.

The composer fix is in (#2898975: Correct composer.json for D8), so now to fix the tests.

What happened to metatags editing on individual content nodes, with the metatags edit tab on node edit pages?
This feature existed in 7.x, but it appears to be missing from the current 8.x release.

@DrupalWebsiteBuilder: Please check the README.txt file for instructions on how to do that.

5. To adjust metatags for a specific entity, the Metatag field must be added
   first. Follow these steps:

   5.1 Go to the "Manage fields" of the bundle where the Metatag field is to
       appear.
   5.2 Select "Meta tags" from the "Add a new field" selector.
   5.3 Fill in a label for the field, e.g. "Meta tags", and set an appropriate
       machine name, e.g. "meta_tags".
   5.4 Click the "Save and continue" button.
   5.5 If the site supports multiple languages, and translations have been
       enabled for this entity, select "Users may translate this field" to use
       Drupal's translation system.

Wow ...

That is worse than a feature downgrade.
That feature implementation is a bizarre side-grade.
Surely other previous users of the module will likely not find it easily as well.
The essential instructions above, are not provided on the admin GUI help page:

@DrupalWebsiteBuilder: In D7 we had the opposite problem of people not being able to work out how to disable the field. Building a simple wizard-ish interface to simplify setup would be nice (see #2707731: Add a page for quickly adding the field to entities), I just haven't had time to work on it.

Any updates on this?

Unless something comes up, I plan to release 1.3 by the end of the month.
