Features

  • add resolve.extensionAlias option which allows to alias extensions
    • This is useful when you are forced to add the .js extension to imports when the file really has a .ts extension (typescript + "type": "module")
  • add support for ES2022 features like static blocks
  • add Tree Shaking support for ProvidePlugin

Bugfixes

  • fix persistent cache when some build dependencies are on a different windows drive
  • make order of evaluation of side-effect-free modules deterministic between concatenated and non-concatenated modules
  • remove left-over from debugging in TLA/async modules runtime code
  • remove unneeded extra 1s timestamp offset during watching when files are actually untouched
    • This sometimes caused an additional second build which are not really needed
  • fix shareScope option for ModuleFederationPlugin
  • set `"use-credentials"`` also for same origin scripts

Performance

  • Improve memory usage and performance of aggregating needed files/directories for watching
    • This affects rebuild performance

Extensibility

  • export HarmonyImportDependency for plugins
