Webpack Defaults version 2.2.0 is a minor update to version 2.1.5 focusing on internal improvements and refinements rather than introducing significant new features visible to the end-user. Both versions serve as a foundational set of default configurations designed to streamline webpack project setups, promoting consistency and best practices across different projects. They bundle essential dependencies like chalk for console output styling, git-username for retrieving the Git username, mrm-core for automating repetitive tasks during project setup, path-exists for checking file path existence, and user-meta for accessing user metadata.
The core functionality remains the same between the two versions, offering reusable webpack configurations that reduce boilerplate and encourage adherence to standards. The primary shift between the two releases is an increase in the size when unpacked, which is a difference of approximately 285 bytes indicating minor modifications to files within the package, and the release date. Both versions maintain the same set of devDependencies, making them suitable for a diverse set of webpack projects.
