BREAKING CHANGES

• dev-server: webpack-dev-server 4.x is now required. webpack-dev-server 3.x is no longer
  supported.
• node: node ^13 || ^15 are no longer supported.
• Modules are now resolved according to ESM module rules. File imports must specify
  the path to the file including file extension, and in particular imports of TypeScript files must
  specify the path to the file but with the ".js" extension instead of ".ts" or ".tsx". See
  https://gist.github.com/sindresorhus/a39789f98801d908bbc7ff3ecc99d99c.
• This software now requires node >= 12.
• tsconfig: TypeScript is now configured to emit ESM modules instead of CommonJS modules. See
  advice for migrating to ESM at
  https://gist.github.com/sindresorhus/a39789f98801d908bbc7ff3ecc99d99c. Here we go again. The
  node/JS/TypeScript/webpack ecosystem should actually be ready for this now.
• TypeScript >= 4.2 is now required
• assets: Asset modules (*.html, *.jpg, *.mp3, etc) are now exposed as CommonJS modules, not
  ES Modules. This is for forwards compatibility with native webpack Asset Modules
  (https://webpack.js.org/guides/asset-modules/) when we are able to start using them.
• html-loader: This may break compatibility with downstream projects that use the customize
  callback to customize rules for loading HTML files.
• html-loader: Various upstream breaking changes may affect downstream consumers who use the
  customize callback to customize the webpack config. See
• deps: Consuming projects must upgrade ts-loader to v8.x.
• target: webpack will generate code that uses ES2017 syntax. This breaks compatibility with
  Node < 8.10 and with very old browsers that do not support ES2017 syntax. If you need to support
  these older systems, we recommend you stay with webpack-config v3.x.
• deps: Downstream projects must upgrade to webpack 5 when upgrading to this version of
  webpack-config. There are some breaking changes in webpack 5. Most notably the Buffer and process
  APIs from node are no longer shimmed by webpack when building for the web. See the webpack
  documentation.
• tsconfig: TypeScript code now compiles to ES2017. This breaks compatibility with Node < 8.10
  and with very old browsers that do not support ES2017 syntax. If you need to support these older
  systems either override "compilerOptions": { "target": "es5" }, or use Babel to compile ES6+ code
  down to ES5.
• deps: Various breaking changes in css-loader v5
  that may affect consumers that customize the configuration
  using a customize callback. See
  https://github.com/webpack-contrib/css-loader/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md
