v0.9.0

Breaking Changes:

• Changes to how React and plain JS web apps are built:

  • Builds are now generated in dist/ instead of public/build/

  • index.html for builds is now generated based on a template in src/index.html, instead of using a static public/index.html [#34]

    Upgrading existing projects:

    • move your public/index.html to src/index.html and delete the <link> and <script> tags for vendor and app resources. These will now be injected at build time.
    • replace /public/build in your .gitignore with /dist/

  • public/ is now only for public files - any contents in this directory will now be copied to dist/ at the start of a build. The development server will also serve static content from public/.

Removed:

• Backwards compatibility for nwb.config.js format changes made in 0.8 have been removed.

Added:

• Added a --host option when running the dev server [#50]
• ExtractTextPlugin (used to extract CSS when building) can now be configured using webpack.plugins.extractText config - this allows you to configure the allChunks setting if you want all CSS to be extracted when using code splitting.
• HtmlWebpackPlugin (used to generate an index.html when building) can now be configured using webpack.plugins.html config.

Changed:

• breakConfig: true has been added to default babel-loader config to avoid .babelrc files being resolved by Babel - all Babel configuration is expected to be in nwb.config.js [#63]
• Static resources handled by Webpack's file-loader now include a hash in their filenames for cachebusting when they change [#38]
