Known Problems
The transitivemove-file
dependency requires node >= 10.17, while webpack is intended to be >= 10.13 compatible. This temporary increases the min node version for this beta release until we found a solution to that.- Fixed, latest patch releases are >= 10.13 compatible
Features
- Using module in an ESM no longer needs the whole namespace object
- SideEffects flag can follow reexports that are partially dynamic or use a compat default
export *
uses more exports info data for better exports- dynamic
export *
no longer flags the default export as maybe provided - allow module concatenation even when provided exports are unknown, but used exports are known
- add
promise
external, which is like var but awaits the global value in a async module - add
import
external, which usesimport()
to load a native ESM - add
output.importFunctionName
to change theimport()
to something else, e.g. to a polyfill. - remove some unneeded dependencies
- Module Federation
- removed scope shortcut object config for container plugins (BREAKING)
- add ability to pass advanced options to container plugins
- allow to expose an array of modules (similar to entry)
- allow to provide an array of remote locations (they act as fallback)
- await when a promise is returned by the external
- allow to expose an index module which is used when using the remote without subpath
- change exposed keys to be prefixed with
./
(BREAKING) - automatically inferred keys do no longer omit leading non-word chars
- add version handling to shared modules (see #10960 for details, BREAKING)
Bugfixes
- export default no longer converts function declarations to expressions
- inline external type can also provided when using an array external.
- fixed a bug in snapshotting that caused changes to be ignored during watching
- add missing dependency for correct typings
- Persistent Caching
- DllPlugin related classes are now serializable
Date
s are serializable
Changes
