Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

@storybook/addon-links is a valuable tool for Storybook users looking to enhance navigation and interactivity within their component libraries. Comparing versions 5.2.6 and 5.2.5, while seemingly minor, reveals subtle yet important differences. Both versions share the same core dependencies, including qs, global, core-js, prop-types, common-tags, and internal Storybook packages like @storybook/addons, @storybook/router, and @storybook/core-events. Crucially, they also maintain the same peer dependency on react, signifying their reliance on React for rendering.

The key differentiating factor lies in the internal Storybook package versions that each addon depends on. Version 5.2.6 depends on the 5.2.6 versions of @storybook/addons, @storybook/router, and @storybook/core-events while version 5.2.5 depends on the 5.2.5 counterparts,. This suggests bug fixes, performance improvements to the storybook core, or new features introduced in those core packages that version 5.2.6 of @storybook/addon-links leverages. Furthermore, examining the releaseDate field shows a roughly two-week gap between the releases, putting version 5.2.6 being released on November 9th, 2019 while version 5.2.5 was released at October 22nd, 2019.

Developers should opt for the latest version (5.2.6) to benefit from the most up-to-date enhancements, bug fixes and stability improvements within the wider Storybook ecosystem.
