what is the timeline for the release of webpack 2?

[benmonro]

I'm looking forward to using this feature: https://github.com/webpack/webpack/tree/webpack-2/examples/harmony-unused

but since this is in the webpack 2 branch, i'm curious as to when this will be released? what is the timeline?

Thanks
Ben

@sokra's reaction:

[sokra]

yeah.

I don't have a timeline yet. I depends on the available time for webpack.

One of my favorite new features, don't feel pressured, I am anxious for it. Thanks for all the hard work you do.

Recently saw this in http://rollupjs.org/. This kind of dead-code removal coming to webpack is awesome!

But where do we get our uncompiled es6 libraries?
npm won't have it until es6-module support is in v8 for a few versions. Nodes new LTS strategy does not help there.
JSPM focuses on browsers..
I guess that only leaves: sokra needs to hack something together there too ;)

Is there a roadmap for what needs to be completed before 2 can come out?

@sokra Thanks, what would you like help with?

You could prepare a PR to the webpack-dev-server which removes the iframe mode and only uses the inline mode. Merge it with the PR about webworkers.

@sokra Any update about this topic? why webpack doesn't have blog?
