Release Notes

webpack/webpack

v5.52.0

Compare Source

Feature

• experiments.executeModule is enabled by default and the option is removed
  • loaders are now free to use this.importModule

Bugfixes

• fix generated __WEBPACK_EXTERNAL_MODULE_null__, which leads to merged externals
• .webpack[...] extension is not part of matching and module name

v5.51.2

Compare Source

Bugfixes

• fix crash in FileSystemInfo when errors occur
• avoid property access of reserved properties
• fix reexports from async modules
• automatically close an active watching when closing the compiler
• when filenames of other runtimes are referenced that need a full hash, upgrade referencing runtime moduel to full hash mode too
  • fixes a bug where [contenthash] is undefined when using new Worker

v5.51.1

Compare Source

Bugfixes

• library: "module" propages top-level-await correctly
• fix crash in filesystem snapshotting when trying to snapshot a non-existing directory
• fix some context-dependent logic in concatenated modules and source url handling

v5.51.0

Compare Source

Bugfixes

• correctly keep chunk loading state when the chunk loading logic is HMR updated
  • This fixes some edge cases that e. g. occur when using lazy compilation for entrypoints. It is now able to HMR update that instead of needing a manual reload. Also see fixes in webpack-dev-server@4.
• track and resolve symlinks for filesystem snapshotting
  • This fixes some cases of circular yarn linking of dependencies.
  • It also fixes some problems when using package managers that use symlinks to deduplicate (e. g. cnpm or pnpm)
• pass the resulting module in the callbacks of Compilation.addModuleChain and Compilation.addModuleTree

v5.50.0

Compare Source

Features

• hashbangs (#! ...) are now handled by webpack
  • https://github.com/tc39/proposal-hashbang

Performance

• disable cache compression by default as it tend to make performance worse
  • I could still be enabled again for specific scenarios
• reduce the number of allocations during cache serialization
  • This improves performance and memory usage

v5.49.0

Compare Source

Features

• add experiments.buildHttp to build http(s):// imports instead of keeping them external
  • keeps a webpack.lock file with integrity and webpack.lock.data with cached content that should be committed
  • Automatically upgrades lockfile during development when remote resources change (might be disabled with experiments.buildHttp.upgrade: false)
  • Lockfile is frozen during production builds and usually no network requests are made (exception: Cache-Control: no-cache).
  • The webpack.lock.data persisting can be disabled with experiments.buildHttp.cacheLocation: false. That will will introduce a availability risk. (webpack cache will be used to cache network responses)

Bugfixes

• fix HMR infinite loop (again)
• fix rare non-determinism with splitChunks.maxSize introduces in the last release
• optional modules no longer cause the module to fail when bail is set
• fix typo in records format: chunkHashs -> chunkHashes

Performance

• limit the number of parallel generated chunks for memory reasons

v5.48.0

Compare Source

Features

• enable import assertions again

Bugfixes

• upgrade webpack-sources for fixes regarding source maps
• fix infinite loop in HMR runtime code

v5.47.1

Compare Source

Bugfixes

• upgrade webpack-sources for a bunch of bugfixes regarding source maps and missing chars in output

v5.47.0

Compare Source

Performance

Bugfixes

• avoid unnecessary "use strict"s in module mode

v5.46.0

Compare Source

Features

• status handlers in HMR api can now return Promises to delay the HMR process
• reasons in stats can now be grouped and collapsed
  • add stats.reasonsSpace and stats.groupReasonsByOrigin

Bugfixes

• fix a crash in asset modules when updating persistent cached modules from unsafe cached modules

Performance

• detailed preset limits all spaces to 1000 by default
• upgrade webpack-sources for a performance bugfix

v5.45.1

Compare Source

Bugfixes

• temporary revert import assertions because parser changes break the word assert in other places
• import(/* webpackPrefetch: true */ ...) no longer breaks library output
• DataURL tries to avoid re-encoding
• fix problems with DataURL encoding in some cases

v5.45.0

Compare Source

Features

• add support to import assertions

Bugfixes

• SourceMaps will now also be added to .cjs output files
• fix non-system externals in a system library

Features

• add support for output.module + optimization.runtimeChunk

Bugfixes

• fix inline externals with dash in type

v5.43.0

Compare Source

Features

• support runtime: false in entry description to disable runtime chunk
• support runtime option in ModuleFederationPlugin and ContainerPlugin

Bugfixes

• fix "module" externals when concatenated

Performance

v5.42.0

Compare Source

Features

• add cache compression via cache.compression
• enable cache compression by default for non-development modes

v5.41.1

Compare Source

Bugfixes

• avoid slicing large Buffers as that doesn't always work for unknown reasons

Performance

• avoid slicing Buffers unnecessarily

v5.41.0

Compare Source

Features

• Persist cache faster when large changes are detected
  • new option cache.idleTimeoutAfterLargeChanges to control that

Bugfixes

• shutdown lazy compilation server correctly

Experiments

• EcmaScript modules support (experiments.outputModule: true)
  • output.library.type: "module": very basic support, no live bindings, unnecessary runtime code
  • output.chunkLoading: "import"
  • output.chunkFormat: "module"
  • externalsType: "module" generates now import * as X from "..." (in a module) or import("...") (in a script)
  • Node.js commonjs externals use import { createRequire } from "module" in a module
  • new Worker etc. sets `type: "module"

v5.40.0
