+# [4.5.0](https://github.com/webpack/webpack-cli/compare/webpack-cli@4.4.0...webpack-cli@4.5.0) (2021-02-02)
+
+### Notes
+
+-   now you can use `webpack.config.mjs` and `webpack.config.js` with `{ "type": "module" }` in `package.json`
+-   you can avoid using the `cross-env` package:
+
+Before:
+
+```json
+{
+    "scripts": {
+        "build": "cross-env NODE_ENV=production webpack --config build/webpack.config.js"
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Now (you can remove the `cross-env` if you don't use it somewhere else):
+
+```json
+{
+    "scripts": {
+        "build": "webpack --node-env=production --config build/webpack.config.js"
+    }
+}
+```
+
+-   the `mode` option respect the `--node-env` option if you don't set the `mode` option explicit using CLI options or in configuration(s), i.e. `--node-env production` set `process.env.NODE_ENV` and `mode` to `production`
+
