Peer Dependency issue with Webpack v5.x

[BrekiTomasson]

Since this package has "^4.0.0" as the given webpack peer dependency version, newer versions of Node/NPM break when attempting to install this package together with Webpack 5:

npm ERR! code ERESOLVE

This is blocking upgrade to npm 7, if acceptable I'd like to send a PR to fix this.

Everything seems to work even with webpack v5, but getting warnings from npm (--force).

@geowarin: Would it be possible to bump the webpack dependency to 5 in the near future?

There is currently a fork which support v5: https://github.com/sodatea/friendly-errors-webpack-plugin
