v2.0.0

2.0.0 (2021-06-30)

NOTES

In the current release we have fixed many problems with publicPath, previously to generate relative URLs inside CSS files developers use different hacks: publicPath: '', publicPath: '../', using relative ../../ in the outputPath option for file-loader and etc. Now you don't need it anymore. Webpack v5 uses publicPath: "auto" by default, which means to always generate relative URLs, and now mini-css-extract-plugin does the same.

We strongly recommend use auto value by default (except when using CDN).

We also want to show you that the file-loader and url-loader are outdated, please migrate on Asset Modules.

⚠ BREAKING CHANGES

• minimum supported Node.js version is 12.13.0
• minimum supported webpack version is 5.0.0
• the modules.namedExport option was removed, you don't need it anymore, because we respect the modules.namedExport option from css-loader, just remove it
• the publicPath option no longer automatically adds / (trailing slash), you need to specify, you need to specify it yourself if it is absent, i.e. if you have publicPath: "/my/public/path" replace it with publicPath: "/my/public/path/"

Bug Fixes

• generating correct relative url() for assets inside CSS files when you use publicPath: "auto" (default value)
