Webpack-merge version 5.8.0 introduces several updates compared to the previous stable version 5.7.3, primarily focusing on development dependencies. While the core dependencies remain consistent with 'wildcard' and 'clone-deep', the development environment sees notable upgrades.
The newer version features updated tools like husky from version 4.3.0 to 6.0.0, tslib from 2.0.3 to 2.2.0, webpack from 5.3.2 to 5.38.1, prettier from 2.1.2 to 2.3.1, and typescript from 4.0.5 to 4.3.2. Furthermore, @types/estree gets bumped from 0.0.45 to 0.0.48. These enhancements indicate an effort to keep the development workflow modern and aligned with the latest tooling standards, potentially leading to improved build processes and code quality, benefiting developers by providing stability/compatibility with modern projects.
The unpacked size also slightly increased from 56520 to 57232, but it's not a relevant change that impacts application runtime. The releaseDate has changed as expected since one version is newer than the other. Webpack-merge remains a valuable utility for webpack configuration, allowing developers to merge different webpack configurations effortlessly. The tool simplifies the process of managing complex configurations by providing a flexible and efficient way to combine settings for various environments or build targets. As webpack evolves, tools like webpack-merge become essential for streamlining the configuration process and reducing complexity.
