A full version history of the webpack2 package with size, number of distributed files and dependency evolution.
Webpack2, a powerful module bundler, saw two closely released versions, 3.11.0 and 3.11.1, both aiming to streamline the process of packaging JavaScript modules for browser deployment. Both versions share the same core functionality as described in their shared description of packing CommonJs/AMD modules, enabling code splitting for on-demand loading, and supporting loaders for diverse file types (JSON, JSX, CSS, etc.).
Both webpack2 versions have effectively the exact same dependencies, including acorn, ajv, async, enhanced-resolve, and webpack-sources, providing the necessary tools for module parsing, validation, and resolution. The "devDependencies" also match, a list full of tools necessary for the developer and quality assurance like eslint, mocha, react, and loaders for specific frameworks.
The key difference between versions 3.11.0 and 3.11.1 lies in their release dates. Version 3.11.0 was released on May 14th, 2018, at 02:38:49 UTC, while version 3.11.1 followed shortly after, on the same day at 03:46:53 UTC. It's also worth noting there is a single byte difference betweem the unpacked sizes of the two versions. The minimal time difference between releases suggests a bug fix in 3.11.1 was needed shortly after releasing 3.11.0.
