Version 6.0.14 of @storybook/addon-essentials arrives shortly after 6.0.13, offering a subtle but potentially important update for Storybook developers. The core functionality and purpose remain consistent: providing a curated set of addons designed to enhance the Storybook experience. These essentials streamline development workflows, offering tools for documentation (@storybook/addon-docs), interaction testing (@storybook/addon-actions, @storybook/addon-controls), UI customization (@storybook/addon-toolbars, @storybook/addon-viewport, @storybook/addon-backgrounds), and overall Storybook management (@storybook/api, @storybook/addons, @storybook/node-logger).
The key difference between the two versions lies in the internal dependency versions. While both rely on the same core packages like core-js, ts-dedent, and regenerator-runtime, the dependent Storybook addons themselves have been bumped from versions 6.0.13 to 6.0.14. This suggests the update primarily addresses bug fixes, performance improvements, or minor feature enhancements within the individual addon packages.
For developers, upgrading from 6.0.13 to 6.0.14 is advisable to benefit from these latest improvements within each essential addon. Since the peer dependencies remain unchanged (react, react-is, react-dom, babel-loader), the update should be relatively straightforward without requiring major project configuration adjustments. Developers should consult the individual changelogs of the updated addon packages (e.g., @storybook/addon-docs, @storybook/addon-controls) to understand the specific changes included in this release.
