Webpack Defaults offers a standardized configuration foundation for Webpack projects, streamlining setup and promoting consistency across development workflows. Version 0.4.0 and 0.3.0 share a common goal, providing pre-configured settings for common tasks, but subtle differences might influence a developer's choice. Both versions utilize dependencies like chalk for enhanced terminal output and mrm-core for automation of common tasks. Critically, the core dependencies remain consistent between the two versions, indicating stability in the foundational aspects of the package.
Developers relying on the package's core functionality relating to base Webpack configurations are unlikely to encounter breaking changes upgrading from 0.3.0 to 0.4.0. Examining the releaseDate shows that version 0.4.0 was published only a few hours after 0.3.0. Given the identical dependencies and devDependencies, the changes between versions are likely minimal, potentially including bug fixes, minor enhancements, or documentation updates that do not impact the core API or functionality. Because the package offers opinions on configuration, upgrading to 0.4.0 will ensure that a developer benefits from any of these possible smaller improvements and ensure continued compatibility within the Webpack-Contrib ecosystem.

Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) in cross-spawn
Versions of the package cross-spawn before 7.0.5 are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) due to improper input sanitization. An attacker can increase the CPU usage and crash the program by crafting a very large and well crafted string.
