Release Notes

5.74.0

Features

• add resolve.extensionAlias option which allows to alias extensions
  • This is useful when you are forced to add the .js extension to imports when the file really has a .ts extension (typescript + "type": "module")
• add support for ES2022 features like static blocks
• add Tree Shaking support for ProvidePlugin

Bugfixes

• fix persistent cache when some build dependencies are on a different windows drive
• make order of evaluation of side-effect-free modules deterministic between concatenated and non-concatenated modules
• remove left-over from debugging in TLA/async modules runtime code
• remove unneeded extra 1s timestamp offset during watching when files are actually untouched
  • This sometimes caused an additional second build which are not really needed
• fix shareScope option for ModuleFederationPlugin
• set "use-credentials" also for same origin scripts

Performance

• Improve memory usage and performance of aggregating needed files/directories for watching
  • This affects rebuild performance

Extensibility

• export HarmonyImportDependency for plugins

Does any of this look wrong? Please let us know.
