Webpack 4.5 is pretty fast. Some definite improvements there.

Is there an upgrade guide around? Altough I think I should probably just start from scratch with the webpack configuration and copy over the source directory...

It seems like the actual webpack API hasn't changed very much, but the ecosystem has changed a lot so you might have to hammer on your dependencies for a while (especially if you're using a lot of plugins/loaders).

Yeah I heard about the plugin system changing, I have a few plugins with the locked version due to the fact they are incompatibile with Webpack 4.

I'll give it a try when I have some downtime. The builds on the CI are slow exactly because of webpack :D
