Make new release of the npm source-map package

[Matthew Dawson]

Hello Mozilla devs,

I'm currently using the source-map package through webpack for various software development. Currently webpack spends a long time in source-map with the current released version (you can find various complaints about this by googling: webpack chunk asset optimization). However, in testing commit e7db1d0ead53b6f8e4cfcce334de4de66dad9c18 dramatically improves performance (for my projects, by 30x). Unfortunately there isn't a new release with this commit to get webpack to use to speed up builds.

What would be required to get a new release of the source-map package with this commit? Is there any issues blocking the release? Anything I can help with to get this out the door? Or could a new release be made now with the current code?

Once this release is made I'll work on getting it available to webpack users so they can enjoy the performance benefit.

I apologize ahead of time if this is the wrong form for this question. Please point me in the right place and I'll try asking there.

Thanks for all your hard work,

Matthew

I think we can do one now.

Maybe in the future the way to go is file an issue requesting a release.

You didn't do anything wrong, I don't think there's any information
anywhere about making new releases of this library.
