5.70.0

Features

• update node.js version constraints for ESM support
• add baseUri to entry options to configure a static base uri (the base of new URL())
• alphabetically sort exports in namespace objects when possible
• add __webpack_exports_info__.name.canMangle
• add proxy support to experiments.buildHttp
• import.meta.webpackContext as ESM alternative to require.context
• handle multiple alternative directories (e. g. due to resolve.alias or resolve.modules) when creating an context module

Bugfixes

• fix problem when assigning global to a variable
• fix crash when using experiments.outputModule and loaderContext.importModule with multiple chunks
• avoid generating progress output before the compilation has started (ProgressPlugin)
• fix handling of non-static-ESM dependencies with using TLA and HMR in the same module
• include the asset module filename in hashing
• output.clean will keep HMR assets for at least 10s to allow HMR to access them even when compilation is faster then the browser

Performance

• fix asset caching when using the BannerPlugin

Developer Experience

• improve typings

Contributing

• capture caching errors when running the test suite
