Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

@storybook/addon-interactions 8.6.5 introduces subtle but important changes compared to version 8.6.4, primarily focusing on internal dependencies. Both versions share the core purpose of automating, testing, and debugging user interactions within Storybook. Developers leveraging this addon can create robust and reliable UI components by capturing and replaying user actions, ensuring consistent behavior across different scenarios.

The dependency updates are most noticeable in the core Storybook packages. @storybook/test and @storybook/instrumenter are updated to version 8.6.5, aligning with the core addon version. This synchronization likely brings in bug fixes, performance improvements, or new features within these underlying tools, ultimately benefiting the accuracy and efficiency of interaction testing. The peer dependency on storybook is also updated to "^8.6.5" which means that installing this addon will require at least this version of storybook. Both version depends on polished, ts-dedent, and @storybook/global remain unchanged, suggesting stability in these areas. Developers should review the changelogs for @storybook/test and @storybook/instrumenter to fully understand the specific enhancements included in these updates.

For developers, this means a smoother, more tightly integrated testing experience within Storybook. While the surface-level functionality may appear identical, the under-the-hood improvements contribute to a more reliable and performant addon. By keeping dependencies synchronized, the Storybook team ensures a cohesive and well-tested ecosystem, leading to greater developer confidence and reduced debugging time. As always, thoroughly test your existing interaction tests after upgrading to confirm compatibility and fully benefit from the underlying improvements.
