Version 5.5.1 Details

HtmlWebpackPlugin is a popular tool that simplifies the creation of HTML files within webpack builds, injecting your generated CSS and JavaScript bundles directly into your HTML. Examining versions 5.5.1 and 5.5.0 reveals key differences important for developers.

The more recent version, 5.5.1, was released on April 15, 2023, indicating ongoing maintenance and potential bug fixes or minor improvements. A notable difference is the updated webpack version under devDependencies. Version 5.5.1 now explicitly supports webpack version ^5.79.0 in devDependencies compared to the older webpack version 5.24.3 of the previous version 5.5.0 released October 25, 2021, This suggests better compatibility with the latest webpack features and ecosystem updates for the first one.

The file count and unpacked size in the dist object also differ slightly, with 5.5.1 having a smaller footprint compared to 5.5.0. This could imply optimizations or removal of unnecessary files.

For developers, choosing the latest version (5.5.1) is generally recommended for accessing the most recent features, bug fixes, and compatibility improvements with the broader webpack ecosystem. However, reviewing the changelog or release notes for specific changes between these versions is crucial to ensure a smooth upgrade and avoid any potential breaking changes in your project. Both versions share the same peer dependency requirement of webpack ^5.20.0.
