Release Notes

webpack/webpack

v5.23.0

Compare Source

v5.22.0

Compare Source

Features

• generate shorter output code for JSON data by using a '...' string instead of "..." (only affects output side when not minimized)
• the dependencies configuration option now works for watch builds too
  • It will build compilation when any of dependencies has changed
  • It will wait for compiling until all of dependencies have finished
• add parallelism config option on the array of configurations to limit the compilers that are running in parallel

Developer Experience

• add hints (Did you mean ...) to resolve errors when
  • resolving fails due to enforceExtension
  • relative request is missing leading ./
• when all modules of an entrypoint fail resolving and another entrypoints depend(s)On it, webpack no longer crashes with a weird error
• add hint to stats how to get details about errors/warnings in child compilations
• improve error message for lazyCompilation when using IE11

Bugfixes

• async entries e.g. for Workers are now implicitly flagged as "having side effects" even if they are affects by "sideEffects": false
  • in future we might add a warning for this
• avoid crash when using this.loadModule (loader) and the loaded module has errors
• refactor libraries to inline exporting code into runtime to allow using with output.iife: false

Contribution

• CI run tests on node.js 15 too
• CI run tests on github actions too

Experiments

v5.18.0

Compare Source

Internals

• refactor hashing to move the responsibility of hashing module exports info and referenced modules from Dependencies to the Module
  • Hashing in Dependencies can be much cheaper now (could improve performance when many dependencies are used that point to the same module, like many references to React.createElement)
  • Fixes bugs where Dependencies forgot to hash some details about the referenced module
  • The new model elimiates the potential of such bugs are Dependencies have less responsibilities now

v5.17.0

Compare Source

Features

• add experimental lazy compilation via experiments.lazyCompilation: true for web and node targets

• allow optimization.innerGraph for new URL()
  • This allows to detect which URLs are used and drop the module and asset when they are not.

Bugfixes

• only return exports from runtime when needed
  • This allows to use experiments.outputModule: true with optimization.runtimeChunk
• fix a bug that splitChunk.reuseExistingChunk doesn't work for entrypoints
