The npm package @storybook/addon-actions has released version 9.0.6, a minor update over the previous stable version 9.0.5. Both versions are explicitly described as "Empty package - please don't use it anymore," which is crucial information for developers. While technically published, these versions are intended as placeholders and should not be relied upon for any functionality within Storybook projects.
The core metadata remains consistent between the two versions: the MIT license, the location of the source code within the Storybook GitHub repository, and the funding link to Open Collective. The dist object, detailing the tarball location and unpacked size, is also identical, suggesting no changes in the package contents themselves. The only discernible difference lies in the releaseDate, with version 9.0.6 being published on June 7, 2025, slightly after version 9.0.5, released on June 5, 2025.
For developers using Storybook, this information is a clear indication to avoid these specific versions of @storybook/addon-actions. If the addon is required, make sure you are using a proper release version that doesn't include these warnings. The package description highlights an important change in the Storybook lifecycle, potentially signifying a deprecation or significant restructuring decision. Always consult the official Storybook documentation and release notes for the correct and intended way to handle actions within Storybook stories.
