Desired functionality

I am the author of license-webpack-plugin which is used by projects generated with angular's cli and have been working on a new major release. I would like to see if you could upgrade the library to the next major release. Currently I am looking for feedback as it has not been tested by many end users as of now.

Mention any other details that might be useful

You can install the alpha of the next major release at license-webpack-plugin@next
You can view the state of the next major release here: https://github.com/xz64/license-webpack-plugin/tree/dev
There are breaking changes so please make sure to check the documentation I have put on the repository.

Hi @xz64,

We do not allow beta or RC dependencies in our master branch. That being said, if you want to test the beta, we can make a PR for it and look it through.

Do you have a list of new features and breaking changes for that release?

[xz64]

Yes, you can find the information here:

https://github.com/xz64/license-webpack-plugin/blob/dev/DOCUMENTATION.md
https://github.com/xz64/license-webpack-plugin/blob/dev/MIGRATION.md

At this point I am not interested in putting an RC into master, but just want to see how it could affect people's builds and get some feedback.

I think I should start with advertising the alpha release on my repository so that I can get more testers. I will revisit this issue once I have received more feedback.
