Minor Changes

  • Treat top-level await and import.meta as ES module markers, matching Node.js syntax detection so no explicit module type is needed. (by @alexander-akait in #21218)

  • Add a bun target that emits ESM and externalizes bun:* and node.js built-in modules. (by @alexander-akait in #21248)

  • Support CommonJS reexports via Object.defineProperty value and getter descriptors. (by @alexander-akait in #21129)

  • Support JSON Schema const when generating CLI flags from a schema. (by @alexander-akait in #21087)

  • Support JSON Schema if/then/else when generating CLI flags from a schema. (by @alexander-akait in #21087)

  • Skip import specifiers, require() and import() calls in dead conditional branches gated by inlined imported constants (isDEV ? A : B), evaluated via getCondition. (by @hai-x in #21136)

  • CSS localIdentName [hash] now resolves to the local ident hash (matching css-loader); use [modulehash] for the module hash. (by @alexander-akait in #21259)

  • Add CSS parser as option and resolve url() inside HTML style attributes. (by @alexander-akait in #21157)

  • Add dedicated module classes for all built-in module types. (by @alexander-akait in #21164)

  • Support .html/.css for the default ./src entry under the html/css experiments. (by @alexander-akait in #21039)

  • Add defineConfig helper for typed configuration files. (by @alexander-akait in #21169)

  • Add a deno target (with versions, e.g. deno, deno2, deno1.40) that emits ESM, resolves node.js built-ins via the required node: specifier, and keeps Deno's own import protocols (npm:, jsr:, node:, http(s)://) external. (by @alexander-akait in #21247)

  • Use module-import for electron externals when the target supports ESM. (by @alexander-akait in #21184)

  • Add output.environment.logicalAssignment to emit ||= in runtime code when the target supports logical assignment operators. (by @bjohansebas in #21219)

  • Resolve and rewrite asset URLs inside <iframe srcdoc> in HTML modules. (by @bjohansebas in #21226)

  • Add HMR support for HTML modules with body/title DOM patching on update. (by @alexander-akait in #21011)

  • Add css-url html source type extracting url() references from CSS-valued attributes. (by @alexander-akait in #21250)

  • Add module.parser.html.sources option to disable or customize URL-attribute extraction for HTML modules, with script / script-module / stylesheet / stylesheet-inline types for custom attributes (by @alexander-akait in #21022)

  • Add module.parser.html.template option to transform HTML module source before parsing. (by @alexander-akait in #21055)

  • Extract more source URLs in HTML modules (SVG, legacy and obsolete attributes). (by @alexander-akait in #21241)

  • Inline export default <const> when the default-exported value is a primitive constant. (by @hai-x in #21189)

  • Support optimization.inlineExports for better tree-shaking. (by @hai-x in #20973)

  • Re-encode inline hash digests ([contenthash]/[chunkhash]/[fullhash]/[modulehash]) from the full content hash, so they carry full entropy and work under optimization.realContentHash and in dynamically-loaded chunk filenames; also preserve leading zero bytes in base-N digests. (by @alexander-akait in #21267)

  • Allow tree-shaking unused calls to /*#__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__*/-annotated (pure) exports across module boundaries. (by @hai-x in #20907)

  • Defer building unused re-export targets of side-effect-free barrel modules. (by @hai-x in #21165)

  • Keep export mangling enabled for modules whose namespace object is used as a whole value, by materializing a decoupled namespace object that keeps the original export names. (by @alexander-akait in #21234)

  • Add output.environment.let option (paired with target's let capability) and emit let/const instead of var in generated runtime code wherever it is safe. Bindings that may be wrapped in runtime-condition if blocks (harmony imports, ConcatenatedModule external imports) continue to use var to preserve function scoping. (by @alexander-akait in #21010)

  • Add output.html to emit an HTML file per entrypoint, injecting its JS/CSS chunks (including dependOn shared chunks). (by @alexander-akait in #21215)

  • Add module.parser.javascript.pureFunctions to mark top-level names as side-effect-free for tree shaking. (by @hai-x in #21063)

  • Add output.strictModuleResolution to gate the runtime MODULE_NOT_FOUND guard. (by @hai-x in #21067)

  • Support an inline digest in hash path placeholders, e.g. [contenthash:base64:8]. (by @alexander-akait in #21259)

  • Support [uniqueName] and its [uniquename] alias in template paths. (by @alexander-akait in #21155)

  • Support CSS in Node for universal targets, collecting styles for SSR. (by @alexander-akait in #21208)

  • Improve commonjs, node-commonjs and global externals for universal targets. (by @alexander-akait in #21187)

  • Add a universal target preset (browser + web worker + Node.js + Electron + NW.js) that always outputs ECMAScript modules. (by @alexander-akait in #21214)

  • Support new Worker(new URL(...)) in universal (node + web) targets by resolving the Worker constructor from worker_threads when no global Worker exists. (by @alexander-akait in #21195)

  • Add output.workerChunkFilename and entry.worker for worker chunk filenames. (by @alexander-akait in #21128)

  • Speed up the experimental HTML parser and reduce its memory usage. (by @alexander-akait in #21130)
