Features

• add experiments.buildHttp to build http(s):// imports instead of keeping them external
  • keeps a webpack.lock file with integrity and webpack.lock.data with cached content that should be committed
  • Automatically upgrades lockfile during development when remote resources change
    (might be disabled with experiments.buildHttp.upgrade: false)
  • Lockfile is frozen during production builds and usually no network requests are made
    (exception: Cache-Control: no-cache).
  • The webpack.lock.data persisting can be disabled with experiments.buildHttp.cacheLocation: false.
    That will will introduce a availability risk.
    (webpack cache will be used to cache network responses)

Bugfixes

Performance
