What does this PR do?
It replaces uglifyjs-webpack-plugin with terser-webpack-plugin for bundle minification/uglification. The main reason is that
uglifyjs
doesn't support ES6+ code, and in the future, webpack will includeterser
as its default minification "engine".Also, instead of adding
terser
to the plugins list, I'm adding it on the newoptimization
object, like the webpack documentation recommends.This is breaking for plugin developers and in case you are using events to modify the configuration.
How should it be tested manually?
For an end user that is not modifying the configuration, the change is not breaking, so just install the branch and build for production, the minification should happen the same way as before.
And of course...
