Support for webpack 4 and below are now removed. Please use an older version of the plugin if you need it to work with webpack 4 or below.
2.x to 3.x
Most builds can upgrade directly from 2.x to 3.x without having to change anything.
The webpack-sources package is no longer bundled with the plugin nor listed as a peerDependency of the plugin. This allows the plugin to use the same version of webpack-sources that comes with the webpack installation.
1.x to 2.x
The plugin no longer requires any explicit configuration. By default it will pick up all license types.
The plugin no longer writes warnings/errors directly to console and instead reports warnings/errors to webpack.
The modulesDirectories option defaults to null and requires full paths if specified. When modulesDirectories is null, third-party modules may be picked up from any directory.
The following options have been removed:
buildRoot - The plugin can work reliably without this option having to be specified now. You can remove it from your configuration.
suppressErrors - Use the stats option on the plugin config instead to turn off warnings/errors.
pattern - Use the new licenseInclusionTest option instead.
outputTemplate - Use the new renderLicenses option instead.
includePackagesWithoutLicense - Use the new licenseInclusionTest option instead.
unacceptablePattern - Use the new unacceptableLicenseTest option instead.
abortOnUnacceptableLicense - The plugin will send an error to webpack whenever an unacceptable license is found. Use the new handleUnacceptableLicense option if you want to do something in addition to that.
bannerTemplate - Use the new renderBanner option instead.
includedChunks - Use the new chunkIncludeExcludeTest option instead.
excludedChunks - Use the new chunkIncludeExcludeTest option instead.
additionalPackages - Use the new additionalChunkModules or additionalModules option instead.
Check the documentation for information on how to use the new options.
0.6.x to 1.x
Change require('license-webpack-plugin') to require('license-webpack-plugin').LicenseWebpackPlugin.
Change includeUndefined in the plugin options to includePackagesWithoutLicense.
The following options have been removed:
addVersion - Use the new outputTemplate option to configure an ejs template to be used for writing the output.
addLicenseText - Use the new outputTemplate option to configure an ejs template to be used for writing the output.
addUrl - Use the new outputTemplate option to configure an ejs template to be used for writing the output.
filename - The plugin outputs an individual file per chunk now and is configured by the outputFilename option. Check the README.md file to see how it works.
