peerDependency on webpack broken for webpack 5 since v3.2.0

[jorrit]

In commit 79987fc, which is included in 3.2.0, the peerDependency argument of webpack got changed from >=4.44.2 to ^4.44.2. This means that from 3.2.0 on, Webpack 5 is not allowed as a peer dependency.

• Manifest Plugin Version: 3.2.0
• Webpack Version: 5.46.0
• Operating System (or Browser): Win 10
• Node Version: 14
• Link to reproduction (⚠️ read below):

Repro

With NPM 7:

1. cd to some empty directory
2. npm install webpack@5
3. npm install webpack-manifest-plugin

Expected Behavior

Successful installation

When do you want to publish @jorrit s PR to npm?
I updated npm/node version on our project and because of this problem on your package I can't continue my work on it!
I will appreciate if you can publish it as soon as possible.

@ali-hosseini-fs when I'm damn well ready to. there isn't a maintainer alive who appreciates those kinds of replies. stop it.

Just updated to 4.0.0 and still see warning for incorrect webpack version (^4.44.2) as peer dependency. Opened package.json and saw:

webpack-manifest-plugin/package.json

Lines 2 to 3 in 5ff6832

	"name": "webpack-manifest-plugin",
	"version": "4.0.0",

webpack-manifest-plugin/package.json

Lines 38 to 40 in 5ff6832

	"peerDependencies": {
	"webpack": "^4.44.2"
	},
