Features

• Added this.mode to the loader API, to allow loaders to choose defaults by mode similar to webpacks options
• Stack Trace for Errors in rejected Promises from import() now includes the stack from where the import() was called

Bugfixes

• The Parser can now analyse identifiers in rest patterns too
  • const { a, ...rest } = obj, where rest conflicts with an imported binding etc.
• node: false now correctly disables __dirname and __filename too
• __dirname and __filename now no longer evaluates to something when node: false or node.__file/dirname: false is set
  • if(__dirname !== "") is no longer replaced with if(true) in such scenarios
• prefetching chunks is no executed after the initial module evaluation
  • This allows to override i. e. __webpack_public_path__ for prefetching too
• fixes a runtime crash when using side-effect-free modules with the DllPlugin
