Since 0.8.0, we started treating imports of any unknown file extensions as URLs. However, we had to revert this change for the test configuration in 0.8.1 because of a bug causing false positives. In 0.8.2, we are fixing this and making test configuration treat imports with unknown extensions the same way as we do in the browser environment.
Historically we have allowed specifying `NODE_PATH` environment variable as a way to allow “absolute imports”. For example, running `NODE_PATH=src npm start` in Bash or `set NODE_PATH=src&&npm start` in Windows Cmd would let you import anything inside `src` without specifying a relative path. However, we found a few nasty edge cases when Node.js core modules end up being in `NODE_PATH` and erroneously become bundled. As a result the build would crash on some systems when some libraries are imported. To fix this, we now only honor relative paths from `NODE_PATH` in Create React App. This means the existing use case for absolute imports is still supported (`src` in the example above is relative), but absolute paths in `NODE_PATH` (such as paths to Node.js core modules) will be ignored.
Since 0.8.0, we show source maps in development instead of the compiled code. However, it has come to our attention that Webpack's source map implementation had issues interpreting Babel output, and caused source maps to be wrong and breakpoints to be unusable in some cases. Webpack has released a fix for this, and we have updated the minimal version of Webpack that we are using.
Since 0.8.0, we are treating all imports with non-JS/CSS extensions the same way. Importing them gives you a string with their URL, and if their content is small enough (less than 10K), the URL is in fact an inlined [data URI](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Basics_of_HTTP/Data_URIs). However, this doesn't work well with SVGs in case you use them for a sprite system since fragments don't work in data URIs, and it's wasteful to inline the same sprite SVG many times. To fix this, we have added an exception so that SVG files never get inlined.
