webpack 4 about webpack-book HOT 8 CLOSED

Thanks for the heads up. I'll try to get the book up to date this week. Perhaps most importantly I can eliminate some content.

from webpack-book.

FYI, a published a webpack 4 version of the book silently (both online and Leanpub). I'll hone it further this week and do a more public release.

@dhruvdutt I think I will have to point the book to the next version, yeah. Also html-webpack-plugin is in bit of a flux at the moment so that's another one that requires a special note.

You can follow the progress here. Going well so far. This will simplify the book somewhat.

Seems WP4 is faster. Bonus: some user bugs revealed here also:

Yeah, it's a little buggy release. 😐

I tried updating my static site generator to use the new version and I ran into a showstopper bug. Basically the UMD output is broken for Node for now. Also extract-text-webpack-plugin isn't stable yet.

That said, I can begin upgrading the book despite these caveats. I have to wait for webpack to become more stable before pushing out a paper version, though. The initial version is also missing first class support for CSS (old workflow for now).

True. webpack 4 and the whole plugins ecosystem will get stable eventually but the core APIs won't change majorly AFAIK. We can begin with the book and get initial reviews till everything gets stable.

Also extract-text-webpack-plugin isn't stable yet.

Did you try extract-text-webpack-plugin@next

Awesome, @bebraw. That was quick. 🚀
