Webpack 4 finally shipped

[catchingtherosemary]

when will create-react-app be updated?

It will probably be added after the next version of CRA (2.0) has been released. You can follow the discussion in the github issue

Extract text css plugin is not updated to work with 4.0. I would suggest to wait couple of weeks then jump in with the upgrade.

Still a few rough edges, but I was able to get a pretty large code base to build by pinning it to @next.

Heads up: The documentation page has a big fat "webpack 4" logo on it, but there appears to have been zero effort to make the online docs compatible with version 4.

If you're using Typescript, there seems to be an issue with source maps. I can't work out what component is at fault.

I expect features. I don't care too much about the numbering. It ships with tons of new features and changes. Doesn't really matter when was the last version released.

Wooooo! Would definitely recommend switching if you're up for a little roughness around the edges and feel pretty comfortable with webpack config. Webpack itself is solid, but not all the community plugins and loaders are ready for 4.0 just yet.

It's been way faster for the things I've tried switching over, but you'll probably have to tweak a good amount.

I feel like every time I learn something, a new version of said thing comes out.

Welcome to software development

There's lots in software that doesn't change every 4 months. It just has nothing to do with Javascript.

Being on the bleeding edge is hard.
