Remove animation not working

[vjain20]

Thank you for providing this package. I am trying this package out and the insert animation is working but for some reason, I am not able to get the remove animation to work.

Template.item.animations({
    ".item": {
        animateInitial: true, // animate the intial elements
        animateInitialStep: 200, // Step between each animation for each initial item
        animateInitialDelay: 500,
        container: ".item-container", // container of the ".item" elements
        insert: {
            class: "fade-in", // class applied to inserted elements
            before: function (attrs, element, template) {
                console.log('before insert');
            }, // callback before the insert animation is triggered
            after: function (attrs, element, template) {
                console.log('after insert');
            }, // callback after an element gets inserted
            delay: 500 // Delay before inserted items animate
        },
        remove: {
            class: "fade-out", // class applied to removed elements
            before: function (attrs, element, template) {
                console.log('before remove');
            }, // callback before the remove animation is triggered
            after: function (attrs, element, template) {
                console.log('after remove');
            }, // callback after an element gets removed
            delay: 500 // Delay before removed items animate
        }
    }
});

.fade-in{
    opacity: 1 !important;
    transition: all 0.5s ease 1s !important;
}

.fade-out{
    opacity: 0 !important;
    transition: all 1s ease 1s !important;
}

The remove.before() and remove.after() functions are not even getting called (in fact even insert.after() is not getting called but insert animation seems to work). I am working with meteor version 1.3.2.4.
I added the package - natestrauser:animate-css after looking at this issue - #8 but that didn't work either. Please help me fix it.
