webpack-dev-middleware 8.6.0

v8.6.0

on Node.js NPM

Minor Changes

• Answer a Range header with more than one range with 206 Partial Content and a multipart/byteranges body, instead of the whole file. Each part carries its own Content-Type and Content-Range; ranges that overlap or touch are merged first, and the parts come in the order the ranges were asked for. When the output file system can stream, each range is read on its own, so asking for a few slices of a large asset reads only those; without createReadStream, or when a strong ETag has already read the file, the parts are cut from the whole file. A request for more than 200 ranges gets the whole file, as before. modifyResponseData receives that body as a Readable, so its data (and the data it returns) is typed Buffer | Readable, which still includes a ReadStream.

• The overlay sends the client's token along when it asks openEditorEndpoint to open a file, so a server can tell the overlay's request from one another page made. Only to an endpoint on the page's own server (a rooted path), never to an absolute url, and only when the client was given a token. (by @alexander-akait in #2488)

Patch Changes

• Read the page's own url parameters without writing a property named after each one. A parameter such as __proto__ or constructor is now looked through like any other instead of becoming a property name to write; behavior is otherwise unchanged. (by @alexander-akait in #2494)

• Fix initialization with rspack, whose compiler.hooks throws when reading the validate hook it doesn't implement. (by @Cherry in #2503)

• Expose the existing devMiddleware property in the Koa and Hono wrapper return types, preserving custom request and response types. (by @MehdiZare in #2489)
