The headline change in 5.0.0 is that eslint-rspack-plugin is now published as a pure ESM package, with its CommonJS build removed. The move mirrors Rspack 2.0 , which republished its core packages as pure ESM and dropped their CommonJS builds to make module loading more consistent and better aligned with current Node.js practices. Because Node.js 20 and later can already load ESM modules using require(esm) , most projects consuming the plugin through the JavaScript API should see little practical impact and need no code changes.
