Version 4.8.0 Details

Webpack CLI version 4.8.0 is a minor release over the previous stable version 4.7.2, providing developers with enhancements to the command-line interface for Webpack. Both versions share core dependencies like execa, rechoir, colorette, commander, interpret, import-local, webpack-merge, and v8-compile-cache, ensuring continued compatibility and functionality. They also maintain the same peer dependency requirement for Webpack versions 4.x.x or 5.x.x.

A notable difference lies in the @webpack-cli/serve dependency. Version 4.8.0 upgrades to @webpack-cli/serve version 1.5.2, while version 4.7.2 uses version 1.5.1. This suggests potential bug fixes or new features in the serve functionality, which is crucial for development workflows involving hot module replacement and live reloading.

Furthermore, the dist object reveals that version 4.8.0 has a slightly larger unpacked size (103920 bytes) and file count (19) compared to version 4.7.2 (102438 bytes and 18 files respectively). This could indicate the addition of new assets, features, or documentation improvements. The newer version was released on August 15, 2021, while 4.7.2 was released on June 7, 2021, representing a time gap that might incorporate community feedback and issue resolutions. Developers should consider upgrading to version 4.8.0 to benefit from the latest improvements and possible bug fixes in the Webpack CLI.
