Features

• add output.trustedTypes

• allow errors to be null in fs callbacks

Developer Experiences

v5.36.2

Compare Source

Bugfixes

• correctly handle errors thrown during parser/generator creation
  • e. g. validation errors for asset module options
• use a better automatic runtime name for workers
  • not too long to cause filename problems
• no longer assume assets do not get removed when the compiler is running
  • Using output.clean is against this assumption
  • It fixes a bug where assets are missing, when removed and readded to the compilation
• fix a problem when chained dependOn, which causes too many modules being included in entrypoints

v5.36.1

Compare Source

Performance

• add cache.profile (type: "filesystem" only) flag for more info about (de)serialization timings
• avoid complex "by exports" splitting for splitChunks in development mode
• faster hashing for the common case
• improve algorithmic complexity for merging InitFragments to solve performance in an edge case

v5.36.0

Compare Source

Features

• add support for class fields (stage 4)

Performance

• improve (de)serialization performance of dependency locations

v5.35.1

Compare Source

Bugfixes

• fix an __webpack_exports__ is not defined error with some library types

performance

• improve stats grouping performance
• improve providedExports analysis performance
• improve hashing performance
• lazy merge dependencies from creating context modules
• improve dependency parents access performance

v5.35.0

Compare Source

Bugfixes

• fix handling of build dependencies with # in path

Performance

• improve memory usage when using the filesystem cache

When reading a file into a Buffer and picking smaller slices of the Buffer the small slices still keep a reference to the large original Buffer. The leads to increased memory usage. A fix would be to clone the slice into a smaller Buffer when wasting too much memory, but this has a performance cost. There is now a new option cache.allowCollectingMemory which controls that. For one-off builds you probably want allowCollectingMemory: false and for watch builds you probably want allowCollectingMemory: true. It defaults to false in production mode and true in development mode.
