Html-webpack-tags-plugin simplifies injecting custom HTML tags into your HTML files during the webpack build process, a crucial feature for incorporating specific CSS, JavaScript, or other assets not directly managed by webpack. Version 3.0.1 offers subtle, yet important updates compared to version 3.0.0. Both versions share the same core dependencies: glob, minimatch, and slash, ensuring consistency in file matching and path handling. The key differences lie in the development dependencies.
Version 3.0.1 updates copy-webpack-plugin to ^8.1.1, css-loader to ^5.2.0, html-webpack-plugin to ^5.3.1, jasmine to ^3.7.0, mini-css-extract-plugin to ^1.4.0, puppeteer to ^8.0.0, and webpack to ^5.30.0. These upgrades likely address bug fixes, performance improvements, and compatibility with newer webpack ecosystems. Conversely, version 3.0.0 relies on older versions of these tools indicating it might be better suited for projects using older versions of Webpack or other related tools.
Notably, both versions declare peer dependencies on html-webpack-plugin and webpack, requiring users to have compatible versions installed (^5.0.0 for both) to ensure proper functioning. For developers, choosing between versions depends on your existing project setup. Using the latest version, 3.0.1, generally offers better compatibility and the most up-to-date features within the webpack ecosystem, assuming your project leverages recent versions of webpack and its related loaders/plugins. Otherwise sticking with 3.0.0 may be preferable if your build pipeline relies on older versions of webpack or you are experiencing compatibility issues with the latest version.
