Bumps webpack-dev-server from 5.2.4 to 6.1.0.

Release notes

Sourced from webpack-dev-server's releases.

v6.1.0

Minor Changes

  • Run as a plugin from the top-level plugins of a multi-configuration, serving every configuration from one server. (by @​alexander-akait in #5765)

  • Fix client progress modes, socket URL credentials, overlay and progress lifecycles, server startup error handling and local IP lookup; export BaseServer. (by @​alexander-akait in #5739)

  • The browser client, the error overlay and both transports now come from webpack-dev-middleware, so this package has no client code of its own. Every option keeps its name and meaning, allowedHosts and the origin checks still apply here, and this server's { type } messages are still sent next to the middleware's, so React Refresh keeps working. client/index.js, client/socket.js and client/clients/WebSocketClient.js still resolve while the client's internal files are gone, and the console wording, the overlay and the progress indicator are now the middleware's. client.webSocketTransport: "sse" adds Server-Sent Events, a universal build now runs in Node without the client throwing, and sendMessage(), getClientEntry() and getClientHotEntry() still work, a subclass's overrides included, but are deprecated. (by @​alexander-akait in #5750)

Patch Changes

  • Keep hot and live reload working after a cancelled "Leave site?" dialog. (by @​alexander-akait in #5744)

  • Keep the overlay for a runtime error thrown while the page is still loading. (by @​alexander-akait in #5745)

  • Validate the Host and Origin headers and enforce same-origin checks on WebSocket upgrade requests handled by proxies with ws: true. This prevents cross-origin pages from connecting to proxied WebSocket services through the development server. (by @​UlisesGascon in cb1534a)

  • Validate options with a precompiled schema to cut ~115ms from startup. (by @​alexander-akait in #5746)

  • Validate Host and HTTP/2 authority headers independently of Origin protocol exceptions, including when allowedHosts is "all". Handle malformed open-editor URLs with a controlled response and parse their query without relying on the Host header. (by @​bjohansebas in #5771)

v6.0.0

Major Changes

  • Bump Express to v5. See the Express 5 migration guide for the full list of breaking changes. (by @​bjohansebas in #5674)

  • Bump the webpack peer dependency range from ^5.0.0 to ^5.101.0. (by @​bjohansebas in #5674)

  • Drop support for Node.js < 22.15.0. (by @​bjohansebas in #5674)

  • Convert the source to native ES modules. The package keeps "type": "module" and now exposes both an ESM and a CommonJS build via the exports field: ESM consumers import the native lib/, while CommonJS consumers require() a transpiled dist/ build, allowing the package to be consumed from both ESM and CommonJS without relying on require(ESM) for CommonJS consumers. (by @​bjohansebas in #5674)

  • Remove CLI flags. Use the serve command from webpack-cli together with a configuration file or the programmatic API instead. (by @​bjohansebas in #5674)

  • Remove the internalIP and internalIPSync static methods from Server. Resolve the local IP yourself if you need it. (by @​bjohansebas in #5674)

  • Remove the bypass option from proxy configuration. Use the router or context options provided by http-proxy-middleware instead. (by @​bjohansebas in #5674)

  • Remove SockJS support. The webSocketServer option no longer accepts "sockjs"; use the default "ws" transport instead. (by @​bjohansebas in #5674)

  • Remove the spdy dependency. Use the built-in node:http2 module via the server option for HTTP/2 support. (by @​bjohansebas in #5674)

  • Update http-proxy-middleware to v4. See the http-proxy-middleware v3 release notes and v4 release notes for the full list of breaking changes. (by @​bjohansebas in #5674)

  • Update webpack-dev-middleware to v8 and sync originalUrl for middleware compatibility. server.middleware.getFilenameFromUrl() is now asynchronous and resolves to { filename, extra: { stats, outputFileSystem } }. See the webpack-dev-middleware v8 release notes for details. (by @​bjohansebas in #5674)

Minor Changes

  • Add plugin support. webpack-dev-server can now be used as a webpack plugin, integrating with the compiler lifecycle without explicitly passing a compiler, preventing multiple server starts on recompilation, ensuring clean shutdown, and supporting MultiCompiler setups with multiple independent plugin servers. (by @​bjohansebas in #5674)
