Webpack 3 has released.
This article by @TheLarkinn highlight new features in this release of webpack.
I updated on my local machine and ran on default app.
This is a pretty straight upgrade, no change in the config. The only thing hindering is chunck.modules
has been deprecated and is used by extract-text-plugin
, thus throws a depreciation warning.

uglifyjs-plugin is moved into separate repository
I don't think babili
is ready yet, but hopefully this would be a step in that direction.
Just to set expectations, we won't be in any rush to upgrade to webpack 3 until it has been battle tested for some time.
@Timer Sure, i was just pointing out it released and has straight upgrade path, though definitely would have to wait for a while, as some plugins have issues.
Did you have the ModuleConcatenationPlugin
plugin enabled in this test @shrynx?
@ianschmitz yes i did, but since this is a tiny app (default), you don't see size getting affected much.
Facing the same problem
extract-text-webpack-plugin released v3.0.0 a few hours ago. webpack 3 is now supported.
