• Switched from using node's built-in URL module to url-parse, for node v6 compatibility.

3.0.0 alpha 1

What's new?

The first alpha release of v3.0.0 includes support for webpack 4, while maintaining support for webpack 3. Many thanks to @toxic-johann for their contributions to make that a reality.

The published package on npm is now transpiled via @babel/preset-env, currently targeting node 4.0.0.

While not user-visible, the codebase has been refactored, with a focus on modularization and increased test coverage.

What's changed?

include: 'all' has been removed, in favor of the equivalent option include: 'allChunks'. This was done to reduce confusion with a new option, include: 'allAssets'.
