UfligyJS un-necessarily pinned at the latest and buggy release

[lukeapage]

https://github.com/webpack-contrib/uglifyjs-webpack-plugin/blob/master/package.json#L50

pins uglify to 3.4.9

But there are some bad uglify-js bugs with 3.4.9:

mishoo/UglifyJS#3245
mishoo/UglifyJS#3257
mishoo/UglifyJS#3260

and now as a consumer of this plugin I cannot specify the uglify-js version in my parent package.json in order to use a non-buggy release.

It looks like you just deleted our lovely crafted issue template. It was there for good reasons. Please help us solving your issue by answering the questions asked in this template. I'm closing this. Please either update the issue with the template and reopen, or open a new issue.

Also we use latest version of uglify-js, use lock file to avoid this situation. Also better use https://github.com/webpack-contrib/terser-webpack-plugin, he will be uses in webpack@5.

[alexander-akait]

If yes, feel free to a send PR and we release patch version

I think it must be only in peerDependencies to control it outside package

[alexander-akait]

@Delagen it is plugin, and he should use this as dependencies

@evilebottnawi UglifyJS is very unstable at this branch, so it will broke project sometimes if version does not fix to certain revision

[alexander-akait]

@Delagen use lock files

[alexander-akait]

@Delagen Better use https://github.com/webpack-contrib/terser-webpack-plugin

[Delagen]

@evilebottnawi Thanks for this recommendation. I'll try it
