v0.11.0

⚠️ BREAKING CHANGES ⚠️

webpack_repositories repository rule is removed and a new node_modules attribute is now required for both webpack_bundle and webpack_devserver. This change is BREAKING for all users.

After debugging errors with complex webpack configurations with clients we found that fetching webpack in webpack_repositories and linking into a node_modules tree within an external Bazel repository can lead to unexpected errors with some webpack plugins that don't expect webpack to be found in multiple node_modules trees. To fix this problem in the simplest and most general way, this release removes webpack_repositories and now expects users to provide the target to their own node_modules trees that must include the webpack, webpack-cli and, for the webpack_devserver rule, also the webpack-dev-server npm packages.

The //path/to:node_modules tree target must be passed to the webpack_bundle and webpack_devserver rules via the node_modules attribute. For example,

webpack_bundle(
    name = "bundle",
    node_modules = "//:node_modules",
    ...
)

This change has the added benefits of not requiring users to keep the webpack version used in their package.json in sync with their WORKSPACE and not requiring any changes to rules_webpack to support new releases of webpack.
