Version 5.6.1 Details

HtmlWebpackPlugin simplifies the creation of HTML files for webpack bundles, and version 5.6.1 brings a few updates compared to the previous stable version, 5.6.0. Both versions share the same core functionality and dependencies like lodash, tapable, html-minifier-terser, and pretty-error. However, the newer version introduces several development dependencies focused on improving the development workflow and code quality.

Specifically, version 5.6.1 includes tools like husky, cspell, @commitlint/cli, @commitlint/config-conventional, eslint, prettier, lint-staged and standard-version which are geared towards automating code formatting, spell-checking, and commit message linting. These additions streamline the development process, ensuring a consistent code style and adherence to commit conventions, reducing the likelihood of errors and improving collaboration within development teams. The update also includes npm-run-all which helps running multiple npm scripts in parallel or sequentially.

While both versions support webpack v5, version 5.6.1 lists a more recent webpack version in its devDependencies. The unpacked size of the package has increased in version 5.6.1, likely due to the inclusion of the additional development-focused dependencies, but these changes do not affect the core functionality of the plugin. For developers, upgrading to 5.6.1 might be beneficial if they value a more robust toolchain for code quality and automation, though developers should assess the impact of these new tools on their existing development workflow.
