Webpack@2 notice

This plugin was built for webpack@1 and not yet tested throughly for the latest webpack@2, which is the default at this moment. It was not even a thing back then.. :D

While I have succesfully ran a test on webpack@2 with [email protected], there is a report(issue #1) that this plugin may not work as intended. Any sort of PR is welcomed.

Changelog

  • 2016-05-25 v0.3.1
    • Fixed ES5 compatibility
  • 2016-05-20 v0.3.0
    • Added {..., git:{status:true, describe:true}} option (default: false)
