Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

@storybook/addon-essentials is a curated set of addons designed to enhance the Storybook development experience. Versions 6.5.6 and 6.5.7 provide developers with essential tools for building and showcasing UI components in a consistent and streamlined manner. Both versions include core dependencies like core-js, ts-dedent, and regenerator-runtime, ensuring compatibility and modern JavaScript features. They also bundle key Storybook addons such as @storybook/addon-docs for documentation, @storybook/addon-actions for event handling, @storybook/addon-measure and @storybook/addon-outline for visual debugging, @storybook/addon-controls for interactive tweaking of component properties, @storybook/addon-toolbars for global theming control and @storybook/addon-viewport and @storybook/addon-backgrounds for responsive design testing.

The primary difference between versions 6.5.6 and 6.5.7 lies in the updated versions of its internal dependencies. While the core functionality remains consistent, version 6.5.7 updates the internal Storybook packages like @storybook/api, @storybook/addons and other addons to version 6.5.7 along with @storybook/core-common and @storybook/node-logger. This upgrade ensures developers benefit from the latest improvements, bug fixes, and performance enhancements within the Storybook ecosystem. Developers upgrading from 6.5.6 to 6.5.7 can expect a smoother and more refined experience, leveraging the collective updates across the Storybook platform. Both versions share the same devDependencies and peerDependencies, meaning the build and runtime environment remains consistent. The license, repository, funding also are the same. The fileCount and the unpackedSize also are consistent. The key factor to distinguish them is the internal modules' versions and the released date.
