Replacing abandoned friendly-errors-webpack-plugin Package

Hi Webpackers!

This release replaces an abandoned package friendly-errors-webpack-plugin with a fork of it @nuxt/friendly-errors-webpack-plugin. If you've been annoyed by warnings like "@symfony/webpack-encore > [email protected]" has incorrect peer dependency "webpack@^4.0.0"., then this release is for you!

• [DEPENDENCY CHANGE] friendly-errors-webpack-plugin was replaced by
  @nuxt/friendly-errors-webpack-plugin - the previous package was abandoned.
  There should be no noticeable changes, unless you are using
  Encore.configureFriendlyErrorsPlugin() and happen to configure some
  feature that differs between these libraries (the new library is a fork
  of the old)
  To upgrade:

yarn upgrade "@symfony/webpack-encore@^1.3.0"

Changes: https://github.com/symfony/webpack-encore/compare/v1.2.0..v1.3.0

Upgrade css-minimizer-webpack-plugin from v1 to v2

Hi Webpackers!

This release contains a major dependency upgrade (see details below) and a cool new .when() function that allows you
to run conditional code.

• [DEPENDENCY UPGRADE] css-minimizer-webpack-plugin was upgraded from version 1
  to version 2. This should not affect you directly, unless you were passing
  custom options to this plugin (e.g. via configureCssMinimizerPlugin()). #966
  thanks to @stof.

• [FEATURE] Added Encore.when(), which can be used to easily add conditional code
  (e.g. code that should be run only in "dev"). See the index.js file for
  more details - #963 thanks to @Kocal.

• [BUG] When using webpack-dev-server, if the target port (e.g. 8080) was
  unavailable, previously, a different port would be fine (e.g. 8081). This
  has now been disabled and you will get an error instead. This was done
  because there is no way for Encore to detect this change and update its
  config properly - #943 thanks to @weaverryan.

To upgrade:

yarn upgrade "@symfony/webpack-encore@^1.2.0"

Changes: https://github.com/symfony/webpack-encore/compare/v1.1.2..v1.2.0

Fixes related to webpack-dev-server & HMR

Hi Webpackers!

This release fixes some bad behavior when using HMR with the dev-server. Previously, on any change (even those where the page should have been updated with HMR without a page refresh), the page would refresh. PR #939 fixes that by disabling auto-refresh. This means that your page will not refresh automatically after making a change. This was a trade-off, as HMR was unusable currently. Hopefully a future version of webpack-dev-server may address this.

Other PR's include:

• minor #940 Clarify missing css file error message (thanks to @Gadgetdude)
• bug #938 Require vue-loader 15.9.5 to work with Encore 1.0 (thanks to @weaverryan)

To upgrade:

yarn upgrade "@symfony/webpack-encore@^1.1.2"

Hi Webpackers!
