v4.45.0

Compare Source

v4.44.2

Compare Source

v4.44.1

Compare Source

v4.44.0

Compare Source

Features

• add splitChunks.enforceSizeThreshold to allow enfore splitting larger chunks unrelated from other limiations
  • Not set by default to avoid breaking change
  • It will be set by default to 50k in webpack 5
  • It's recommended to set it in webpack 4 too

v4.39.3

Compare Source

Bugfixes

v4.39.2

Compare Source

Bugfixes

• fix ProfilingPlugin not ending traces correctly

v4.39.1

Compare Source

Bugfixes

• fix problem that progress lines were too long on some terminals

v4.39.0

Compare Source

Features

• Infrastructure logger for node.js has now colors + symbols to mark different kind of messages
• Logger API has now a status method which allows to write temporary status messages
• ProgressPlugin default handler uses the Infrastructure Logger status message to output messages
• Placeholders in paths can now be escaped with i. e. [\id\]

  • Modules from parent chunks are now tracked during chunk graph generation, which allows to skip these modules in async chunks. This often renders optimization.removeAvailableModules unneeded, expect in scenarios where chunks are merged during optimization.
• optimization.removeAvailableModules is now disabled in development mode by default
  • optimization.removeAvailableModules will be disabled for all modes in next major release, feel free to disable it in production too if you want extra performance.
