Version 5.3.1 Details

The html-webpack-plugin saw a minor update from version 5.3.0 to 5.3.1, offering subtle but potentially impactful changes for webpack users. Both versions streamline HTML file creation within webpack workflows, simplifying bundle integration. The core dependencies, handling tasks like HTML minification and template processing using libraries like lodash, tapable, html-minifier-terser, and pretty-error, remain consistent ensuring stability in core functionality.

However, the key difference lies in the devDependencies. Version 5.3.1 upgrades webpack itself from version 5.23.0 to 5.24.3 and webpack-cli from 4.2.0 to 4.5.0 indicating enhancements or bug fixes directly related to the core webpack integration. The removal of @types/loader-utils could signal refactoring or a shift in how the plugin handles loader utilities. While peer dependencies on webpack remain at "^5.20.0", aligning with version 5, these development dependency updates suggest improvements in support for newer webpack features or resolved compatibility issues. If you're using more recent webpack features or encountered bugs with version 5.3.0, upgrading to 5.3.1 is advisable. For those on older webpack versions, thoroughly testing the upgrade is recommended due to the changes mentioned.
