Version 5.5.0 Details

HtmlWebpackPlugin simplifies the creation of HTML files that serve webpack bundles, streamlining the development workflow for modern web applications. Comparing versions 5.5.0 and 5.4.0 reveals subtle but potentially important differences for developers. Both versions share core dependencies like lodash, tapable, and html-minifier-terser ensuring continued compatibility and functionality for HTML minification and template handling. The key dependencies remain consistent.

Significant differences lie in the development dependencies. Version 5.5.0 upgrades jest from 26.5.3 to ^27.2.5. This jump represents a potentially significant shift including new features, performance improvements, and bug fixes in the testing framework. Developers relying on jest for unit and integration testing should be aware of these changes when upgrading. In the previous version of the package the dir-compare dependency was on version 1.7.2 and on library version 5.5.0 it was updated to ^3.3.0. This is another relevant change as it provides an updated version of the directory comparison tool.

Both versions maintain peer dependency on webpack version ^5.20.0, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of webpack 5 installations. The increase in unpacked size from 151215 to 151933 might indicate the inclusion of new assets, code, or testing resources in version 5.5.0. Overall, the upgrade to version 5.5.0 offers potential benefits through updated testing tools and directory comparison capabilities but necessitates careful consideration of dependency updates.
