☝️ Greenkeeper’s updated Terms of Service will come into effect on April 6th, 2018.

Version 3.0.0 of webpack-dev-server was just published.

Dependency webpack-dev-server
Current Version 2.11.1
Type devDependency

The version 3.0.0 is not covered by your current version range.

If you don’t accept this pull request, your project will work just like it did before. However, you might be missing out on a bunch of new features, fixes and/or performance improvements from the dependency update.

It might be worth looking into these changes and trying to get this project onto the latest version of webpack-dev-server.

If you have a solid test suite and good coverage, a passing build is a strong indicator that you can take advantage of these changes directly by merging the proposed change into your project. If the build fails or you don’t have such unconditional trust in your tests, this branch is a great starting point for you to work on the update.


Release Notes v3.0.0

Updates

  • Breaking change: webpack v4 is now supported. Older versions of webpack are not supported.
  • Breaking change: drops support for Node.js v4, going forward we only support v6+ (same as webpack).
  • webpack-dev-middleware updated to v2 (see changes).

Bugfixes

  • After starting webpack-dev-server with an error in your code, it would not reload the page after fixing that error (#1317).
  • DynamicEntryPlugin is now supported correctly (#1319).

Huge thanks to all the contributors!

Please note that webpack-serve will eventually be the successor of webpack-dev-server. The core features already work so if you're brave enough give it a try!
