• Fix mangled exports read through require() and a leaked internal reference. (by @alexander-akait in #21905)

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 @hai-x in #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 @alexander-akait in #21841)

• Add the descriptionRelativePath module rule condition. (by @alexander-akait in #21705)

• Add OS-independent glob matching to module rules. (by @alexander-akait in #21771)

• Resolve @custom-media values that are true / false or name another custom media. (by @alexander-akait in #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 @alexander-akait in #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 @alexander-akait in #21624)

• Emit analyzable ESM urls for chunks, assets, styles, workers and wasm. (by @alexander-akait in #21788)

• 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. (by @alexander-akait in #21841)

• Resolve relative entry baseUri values and bake one side of a hash cycle. (by @alexander-akait in #21750)

• 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 @alexander-akait in #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 @alexander-akait in #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 @alexander-akait in #21841)

• Report bindings named eval, arguments or reserved words in ES module output. (by @alexander-akait in #21567)

• Emit no development source map for module libraries, or any with futureDefaults. (by @alexander-akait in #21839)

• 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. (by @alexander-akait in #21841)

• Improve tree-shaking for a namespace reexported as default, and fix import d from "./mod"; d.member reading undefined in that case. (by @alexander-akait in #21841)

• Warn on cross-kind CSS module export conflicts and let the class win. (by @alexander-akait in #21538)

• Add output.resourceHints.dedupe to skip prefetch links for already preloaded/prefetched chunks. (by @alexander-akait in #21386)
