[v8.0.0] - May 17, 2024

See the v8 Upgrade Guide.

Fixed

• Fixes incorrect removal of files in the assets:clean task PR 474 by tomdracz.

• Support v9 PNPM lockfiles PR 472 by G-Rath.

Breaking changes

• Removes CDN url from the manifest.json paths. PR 473 by tomdracz. This returns to the Webpacker behaviour prior to the aborted Webpacker v6.

• Remove relative_url_root PR 413 by G-Rath.

• Removes deprecated support of Webpacker spelling, config variables and constants. PR 429 by tomdracz.

  The usage of those has been deprecated in Shakapacker v7 and now fully removed in v8. See the v7 Upgrade Guide for more information if you are still yet to address this deprecation.

• Remove globalMutableWebpackConfig global PR 439 by G-Rath.

  Use generateWebpackConfig instead.

• Use package_json gem to manage Node dependencies and commands, and use npm by default PR 430 by G-Rath

  This enables support for package managers other than yarn, with npm being the default; to continue using Yarn, specify it in package.json using the packageManager property.

  This also removed @node_modules_bin_path, SHAKAPACKER_NODE_MODULES_BIN_PATH, and support for installing Shakapacker's javascript package in a separate directory from the Gemfile containing Shakapacker's ruby gem.

• Remove yarn_install rake task, and stop installing js packages automatically as part of assets:precompile PR 412 by G-Rath.

• Remove check_yarn rake task PR 443 by G-Rath.

• Remove https option for webpack-dev-server PR 414 by G-Rath.
