@storybook/addon-essentials version 8.2.0 introduces notable changes for Storybook developers, building upon the previous stable release, 8.1.11. One key difference lies in the dependencies. Version 8.2.0 aligns its core addon dependencies, such as @storybook/addon-docs, @storybook/addon-actions, and @storybook/addon-controls, directly with the 8.2.0 release, ensuring better compatibility and feature parity across the ecosystem. This contrasts with version 8.1.11 which listed some dependencies like @storybook/core-common, @storybook/manager-api, @storybook/node-logger, and @storybook/preview-api explicitly, dependencies that are now managed implicitly. The peer dependency on storybook remains at "^8.2.0" for version 8.2.0, signifying that users need to have Storybook version 8.2.0 or higher installed. The developer tooling with Typescript remains at version ^5.3.2 in both versions. Both addon versions retain the same MIT license, repository location, and funding information. The unpacked size has reduced a little bit in the new version, potentially indicating some minor optimizations or dependency realignments. Ultimately, version 8.2.0 provides a more streamlined and consistent addon experience aligned with the latest Storybook release, simplifying dependency management and ensuring that developers can leverage the latest features across the Storybook platform. The release date information indicates that 8.2.0 is a newer release, containing the latest updates and bug fixes. upgrading is recommended for the latest features.
