## webpack 5

### Breaking changes

- Minification now parses JavaScript with webpack's own parser rather than terser's and refuses early errors. (5.112.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/releases/tag/v5.112.0)
- Writes to imported bindings now throw without preventing module concatenation. (5.111.1) — [release notes](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/releases/tag/v5.111.1)
- A non-optional read past an undefined DefinePlugin member now throws. (5.111.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/releases/tag/v5.111.0)
- Remove experiments.outputModule; set output.module to emit ESM instead. (5.111.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/releases/tag/v5.111.0)
- Minification now handles embedded bodies and style attributes through their embedded paths, decodes script types, and bases attribute minification on decoded values. (5.111.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/releases/tag/v5.111.0)
- Accept output.module to emit ESM in place of experiments.outputModule. (5.111.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/releases/tag/v5.111.0)
- Throws when a deferred namespace of an async module is forced while the module evaluates. (5.110.3) — [release notes](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/releases/tag/v5.110.3)
- Throws SyntaxError or WebAssembly.CompileError when a module cannot be parsed. (5.110.1) — [release notes](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/releases/tag/v5.110.1)

- Supports parsers without location APIs by deriving locations from node offsets; AST nodes no longer carry loc. (5.109.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/releases/tag/v5.109.0)
- [hash] now resolves to the local ident hash, matching css-loader; use [modulehash] for the module hash. (5.108.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/releases/tag/v5.108.0)
- Rejects new import.defer(...) and new import.source(...) with member access as a SyntaxError. (5.108.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/releases/tag/v5.108.0)

- Accessing a non-existent import.meta.env property now returns an empty object instead of the full object at runtime. (5.105.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/releases/tag/v5.105.0)
- Re-validates redirects against allowedUris, restricts them to http(s), and limits redirect count to prevent SSRF and untrusted content inclusion; rejected redirects are not cached or written to the lockfile. (5.104.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/releases/tag/v5.104.0)
