HtmlWebpackPlugin simplifies the creation of HTML files for serving webpack bundles, streamlining the development workflow. Comparing versions 5.5.4 and 5.5.3 reveals subtle but important differences primarily around the dist object. The fileCount changes from 14 to 13, and the unpackedSize increases slightly from 118968 to 119501 bytes. This suggests modifications or optimizations within the package contents.
Version 5.5.4 was released significantly later, on December 6, 2023, compared to version 5.5.3 released on June 10, 2023, indicating a period for bug fixes, feature enhancements, or dependency updates.
Both versions share identical dependencies, including Lodash, Tapable, PrettyError, and Html-minifier-terser, ensuring consistent functionality for core HTML processing. The devDependencies are also the same, highlighting stability for development tooling like Pug, Jest, and Webpack. Crucially, the peerDependencies on Webpack remain at ^5.20.0, ensuring compatibility.
For developers, this means the upgrade from 5.5.3 to 5.5.4 should be seamless unless the specific file adjustments impacted a particular use case. Developers should consider upgrading as later versions often have security and performance enhancements. Examining the changelog will provide more insights on bugfixes and improvements.
