Version 4.5.0 Details

HtmlWebpackPlugin simplifies the creation of HTML files for serving webpack bundles. Version 4.5.0 was released on September 21, 2020, following version 4.4.1, released on August 30, 2020. Both versions share the same core dependencies like lodash, tapable, loader-utils, pretty-error, html-minifier-terser, and their corresponding type definitions for seamless integration with webpack projects. The devDependencies also align, including tools for development like pug, jest, webpack, typescript, and loaders for CSS and HTML, ensuring a consistent development environment.

A key difference lies within the peerDependencies. Version 4.4.1 declares the acceptable webpack versions as ">=4.0.0 < 6.0.0" while version 4.5.0 has "^4.0.0 || ^5.0.0". This expresses more clearly that both Webpack 4 and Webpack 5 are compatible while the older version uses an awkward expression. This can influence developers' decisions on which version of webpack they can use alongside the html-webpack-plugin.

The unpacked size differ slightly, with 4.5.0 being 143970 compared to 4.4.1 at 142535, potentially indicating minor upgrades or bug fixes that don't change the core functionality. Developers looking for stability and broad webpack compatibility might find both versions suitable, although version 4.5.0 is recommended for latest support and bug fixes. Both versions are under the MIT license.
