[Compare Source](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/compare/v5.110.0...v5.110.1)

##### Minor Changes

- Wrap concatenated modules in lazy `__webpack_require__.cw` accessors and inline `require()`, keeping a wrapped body's names and side effects intact. (by [@&#8203;hai-x](https://github.com/hai-x) in [#&#8203;21519](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/21519))

- Add performance hints reporting what a build costs: duplicate packages and modules, circular dependencies, broad contexts, large modules and chunks, hotspots, `eval`, missing PURE annotations, polyfills, redundant dynamic imports, OS-dependent rules, cache effectiveness, how chunks load, what splitting refused, why an optimization was skipped, and rules, defines, externals, aliases and barrel reexports nothing uses. An oversized asset names its largest modules, and an entrypoint carrying the runtime recommends `optimization.runtimeChunk`. Enable every check not set individually with `performance.all`, report hints in stats only with `performance.hints: "stats"`, and get them in a stable order that leaves the build hashes unchanged. (by [@&#8203;alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#&#8203;21841](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/21841))

- Resolve `@custom-media` values that are `true` / `false` or name another custom media. (by [@&#8203;alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#&#8203;21624](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/21624))

- Add the `__webpack_css_server_styles__` module variable to read the CSS collected while rendering without a DOM, and keep that CSS in the order the styles were applied. (by [@&#8203;alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#&#8203;21576](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/21576))

- Patch the HTML `<head>` in place on hot update instead of forcing a full reload, including when a `<script>` that never executed is removed. (by [@&#8203;alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#&#8203;21624](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/21624))

- Scope counter names in CSS modules; fix the `counter()` counter-style and `animation` timeline keywords. (by [@&#8203;alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#&#8203;21600](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/21600))

- Derive `import defer` / `import source` from the target and fix the source phase. (by [@&#8203;alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#&#8203;21810](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/21810))

- Tree shake CommonJS: `module.exports` object literals, exports destructured from a `require()` binding, unused method requires, and unused side-effect-free `require()` calls and reexports.

- Minify CSS further, only where the document is unchanged: shorthands and box longhands, `font-weight`, `<position>` and `font-stretch` keywords, colors (polar, Lab and `hsl()` converted to hex), numbers, times, zero units, `calc()` and every math function the spec names folded over constants, selector lists, An+B, keyframe selectors, media-feature ranges, `unicode-range`, `transition` layers, `display`, transforms, gradients, font families, identical repeated declarations, and rules an identical later one makes dead. Abilities are read off the target browsers, `vendorPrefixes` adds and drops vendor prefixes for them, and `rewriteCustomProperties` shortens custom property values. Minification never changes whether a declaration parses, and beautifying keeps every rule. (by [@&#8203;alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#&#8203;21841](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/21841))

- Safely minify CSS (with source maps) and HTML assets when `optimization.minimize` is enabled, unless a minimizer is already configured for them, making only transformations an engine cannot tell apart. Every rewrite is named as an option, so it can be switched off. (by [@&#8203;alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#&#8203;21841](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/21841))

- Minify HTML further where the parsed document is unchanged: drop redundant quotes, whitespace nothing renders, escapes text does not need, implied tags, optional end tags nothing prints behind, empty attributes and nested empty elements; fold enumerated values and casing; normalize each attribute against the element it is on; and rewrite `style`, token lists, `srcset`, `sizes`, URL, integer and boolean attributes, viewport `content`, inline `<style>` and a JSON `<script>` body through their own grammars. Adds the `optimization.minimize.html` options `collapseWhitespace`, `mergeStyles`, `minifyConditionalComments`, `minifySrcdoc`, `preserveComments`, `removeEmptyAttributes`, `removeEmptyElements`, `removeImpliedTags`, `removeRedundantAttributes`, `sortAttributes` and `sortTokenLists`, and keeps an end tag the parent, the next element or the adoption agency would otherwise restructure the tree over. (by [@&#8203;alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#&#8203;21841](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/21841))

- Speed up builds and cut memory: faster CSS, HTML and JavaScript parsing and minification, a built-in scope analyzer replacing `eslint-scope`, faster dependency hot paths, module diagnostics, CommonJS export scanning and concatenated module renaming, runtime modules, parsers, generators and dependencies loaded only when used, one file watcher pool shared between MultiCompiler children, and lower parser, graph and startup memory.

- Generate every CSS and HTML lookup table into `lib/{css,html}/data.js` from `mdn-data`, `color-name` and the spec IDL — including the value-type facts read out of the CSS value-definition grammars — leaving both `syntax.js` files algorithm only.

- Emit less runtime code: shorter syntax where `output.environment` allows, no IIFE for a `RuntimeModule` without locals, no unread `__webpack_esm_id__` and `exports.id` chunk exports, and an ESM entry chunk installing its own modules from its local bindings instead of importing itself. (by [@&#8203;alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#&#8203;21841](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/21841))
