Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

@storybook/addon-links is a valuable tool for Storybook developers, enabling seamless navigation between stories within a Storybook environment. Version 5.2.4 arrived shortly after 5.2.3, with a release date just one week later in October 2019. Examining the package data reveals subtle but important updates. Core dependencies like qs, global, core-js, prop-types, and common-tags remain consistent, indicating a focus on refining existing functionalities rather than introducing groundbreaking changes.

The key difference lies in the synchronization of Storybook's core packages. Version 5.2.4 uses @storybook/addons, @storybook/router, and @storybook/core-events all at version 5.2.4, aligning perfectly with the addon's version. Similarly in version 5.2.3, those dependencies are using the 5.2.3 version number. This suggests a bug fix or incremental improvement requiring coordinated updates across Storybook's internal modules. Although, no breaking changes or new functionalities are introduced.

While the file count remains constant at 19, the unpacked size reduced to 29992 bytes, compared to 30001 bytes in version 5.2.3, pointing to minor code optimization. Developers using this addon will not find new features, however this patch upgrade suggests that the 5.2.4 release focuses on stability and internal improvements, making it a recommended update for those already on the 5.2.x track. This is particularly important for teams working on large Storybook projects where consistent behavior and bug fixes are paramount.
