Can you confirm if this change is backwards compatible with older versions of webpack and if so, how far back it is compatible? If it works with webpack v4+ only then we could still merge this but should also bump the major version of the package and make a note in the changelog.

[spiltcoffee]

My understanding is that this was a breaking change in Webpack 4, so I assume this change would break the plugin for all versions less than Webpack 4.

It might be possible to supply backwards compatibility according to this, but it requires additional work (and testing) on top of this pull request.

[robertknight]

OK, in that case I can merge this as is but will bump the package version to 3.0.0 and make a note in the changelog that the plugin requires Webpack 4.x+. Anyone who is using an older version of Webpack can use an earlier 2.x release.

Published as v3.0.0.

So I know this is pulled in now and v3.0.0 is out there now, but I just stumbled across this pull request: vuejs/vue#7839

The changes in that pull request to util.js show how you could possibly go about providing backwards compatibility if that's something that you still desire.

Thanks for following up on that question. I'll wait until someone asks for it 😛
