### [`v4.44.0`](https://togithub.com/webpack/webpack/releases/tag/v4.44.0)
[Compare Source](https://togithub.com/webpack/webpack/compare/v4.43.0...v4.44.0)
### Features
- Improve `sideEffects` flag behavior when dynamic modules are part of the tree
- Fixes a bug which causes empty modules (or type-only modules) to "break" Tree Shaking
- add `splitChunks.enforceSizeThreshold` to allow enfore splitting larger chunks unrelated from other limiations
- Not set by default to avoid breaking change
- It will be set by default to 50k in webpack 5
- It's recommended to set it in webpack 4 too
- add support for `resolve.roots` and default `resolve.roots: [context]`
- This allows to resolve server-relative urls (e.g. `/src/abc`) to the project root (or other locations when configured)
- This allows to use loaders that rely on that behavior
### Bugfixes
- fix bug where splitChunks produced non-optimal results when `minSize` is set to `0`
- This lead to `NaN`s in some places which breaks ordering
- Fix bug which lead to HMR not working for splitChunks in entrypoints
- force update watchpack and chokidar for chokidar bugfix which causes files to stop being watched
