I found that the new version merged lib’s js into a js file. This creates some incompatibility with my project (small game). Is there a way to restore the previous behavior?

Edit:
I restored the old version of HTML5Platform compilation.

On html5 target I get error

Sounds like you may have an old Haxe 4 preview release - should work with 4.0.0-rc.3 or Haxe 3.4.x.
