Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

Webpack Manifest Plugin simplifies asset management in webpack-based projects by generating a manifest file. This file maps original asset filenames to their emitted output filenames, which is crucial for production deployments where filenames often include hashes for cache-busting. Version 4.0.1, a patch release following 4.0.0, includes a key update in its peer dependencies. Version 4.0.0 declared the peer dependency as webpack: ^4.44.2. Version 4.0.1 expands this compatibility, specifying webpack: ^4.44.2 || ^5.47.0. This change makes the plugin compatible with a broader range of webpack versions, notably including versions 5.47.0 and above of Webpack 5 . Developers using Webpack 5 and experiencing compatibility issues with webpack-manifest-plugin@4.0.0 should upgrade to version 4.0.1 to resolve those issues. Both versions include the same set of core dependencies and development dependencies, indicating no functional changes beyond the peer dependency definition. Both versions offer the same core functionality, simplifying integration into existing webpack workflows by automating manifest file creation. The plugin supports various customization options, allowing developers to tailor the manifest's structure and content to their specific needs. These options include controlling the paths and filenames included in the manifest and modifying the generated JSON structure.
