Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

@storybook/addon-links version 5.3.17 is a minor update to the Storybook's story linking addon, building upon the previous stable version 5.3.15. Primarily, the core functionality remains the same, enabling developers to create hyperlinks between stories within their Storybook environment, improving navigation and user experience. Both versions share identical dependencies like qs, global, core-js, ts-dedent, prop-types, @storybook/csf, @storybook/addons, @storybook/router, @storybook/core-events, and @storybook/client-logger, ensuring a consistent development experience. The peer dependency on react also remains unchanged.

While the core feature set and dependencies are the same, the key difference lies in the updated @storybook/* package dependencies. Version 5.3.17 upgrades these internal Storybook packages (addons, router, core-events, client-logger) from 5.3.15 to 5.3.17. This typically indicates bug fixes, performance improvements, or internal enhancements within the Storybook ecosystem that may indirectly benefit the addon. The file count and unpacked size also remained equivalent. Developers upgrading from 5.3.15 should expect a seamless transition with a potential for improved underlying Storybook stability and performance, though no explicit new features or API changes are apparent specifically within the addon-links package itself. A notable element is the release date difference which indicates that version 5.3.17 may include important fixes that would contribute to an increase on dependency stability, making it an upgrade that should be considered to improve the dev enviroment.
