v4.45.0

Compare Source

v4.44.1

Compare Source

Bugfixes

Compare Source

Features

• Infrastructure logger for node.js has now colors + symbols to mark different kind of messages

Compare Source

Performance

• Improved performance of ProgressPlugin
• Improved performance of chunk graph generation

  • Modules from parent chunks are now tracked during chunk graph generation, which allows to skip these modules in async chunks. This often renders optimization.removeAvailableModules unneeded, expect in scenarios where chunks are merged during optimization.
• optimization.removeAvailableModules is now disabled in development mode by default
  • optimization.removeAvailableModules will be disabled for all modes in next major release, feel free to disable it in production too if you want extra performance.
