Major Changes

• #977 e12f63d Thanks @jbroma! - BREAKING: config.devtool is now used to control the behaviour of generated sourcemaps. To enable sourcemaps again, please remove devtool: false from your config or set it explicitly to one of valid values (e.g. source-map).

  Introduced a dedicated SourceMapPlugin that consolidates sourcemap configuration and improves sourcemap handling by relying on the devtool option. The plugin is part of the Repack plugin and does not need to be added separately.

• #780 e937211 Thanks @jbroma! - Removed --silent CLI flag for start command.

  For silencing output, you can use shell redirection instead:

  • Unix/macOS: npx react-native start > /dev/null 2>&1
  • Windows: npx react-native start > nul 2>&1

• #825 18f2eef Thanks @jbroma! - Removed --reverse-port CLI option and replaced it with --no-reverse-port CLI option.

• #912 07d0566 Thanks @jbroma! - BREAKING CHANGES: Removed devServerEnabled option from assets-loader and devServer from Repack plugin configuration - they are now obtained automatically from configuration.

  Added new config.devServer field to configure development server properties with type-safe http/https configuration, special host values (local-ip, local-ipv4, local-ipv6), and enhanced HTTPS configuration with full HttpsServerOptions support.

• #987 97cd8e8 Thanks @jbroma! - BREAKING CHANGES: bundleFilename, sourceMapFilename, and assetsPath have been removed from both OutputPlugin and RepackPlugin configurations. These properties are now controlled only through their respective CLI flags.

• #975 7c9232c Thanks @jbroma! - Deprecate getPublicPath utility. The getPublicPath function is now a no-op marked as deprecated, while public path configuration is handled automatically under the hood.

• #976 c29ba2f Thanks @jbroma! - BREAKING: Simplified RepackPlugin configuration by removing context, mode, and sourceMaps options in favor of using values from Rspack/webpack configuration.

  Made platform and output options optional (they are now inferred automatically). The plugin configuration object is now entirely optional, allowing for minimal setup with new Repack.RepackPlugin().

• #720 a7b557e Thanks @jbroma! - Support for Rspack & Webpack simultaneously

• #958 1bf1b1c Thanks @jbroma! - BREAKING CHANGE: Added a strict configuration cascade system (CLI Flags -> Config Values -> Command Defaults -> Webpack/Rspack Defaults) to provide clear and predictable configuration resolution.

  CLI arguments now always take highest precedence and cannot be overridden by config files, ensuring consistent behavior across all commands.

• #786 cf42d14 Thanks @jbroma! - Enable new debugger (React Native DevTools) by default, remove support for legacy remote debugging

• #962 22d0e8f Thanks @jbroma! - BREAKING CHANGES: Removed entryName config option from DevelopmentPlugin, OutputPlugin and RepackPlugin - it is now obtained automatically from configuration
