Webpack 4

The full changelog of what change in webpack since version 3 is here -> https://github.com/webpack/webpack/releases/tag/v4.0.0

No npm-install-webpack-plugin

Since npm-install-webpack-plugin is not working with webpack 4, it's been replaced with simpler implementation inside Aik itself.

BREAKING: No relative imports...

Previously it was possible to import/require files relative to entry point e.g.:

// Import relative to the index.js
import comp2 from "components/comp2/comp2";

This feature has been removed as It's considered to be an anti-pattern and also it adds some extra complexity around auto installing npm modules.
