Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

@storybook/addon-links version 6.0.12 introduces subtle yet important updates compared to its predecessor, 6.0.11, primarily revolving around internal Storybook package dependencies. Developers leveraging Storybook for UI component development will find the core functionality of story linking remains consistent, allowing seamless navigation between different stories within their documentation. The key difference lies in the synchronized versions of internal Storybook dependencies. Specifically, @storybook/addons, @storybook/router, @storybook/core-events, and @storybook/client-logger are all updated to version "6.0.12" in this release, aligning them with the core Storybook ecosystem. This consistency ensures compatibility and potentially resolves minor integration issues that might have existed when using mismatched versions.

While the visible functionality from a user perspective remains largely unchanged, the updated dependencies contribute to a more stable and reliable Storybook experience. The update streamlines the internal workings of the addon, potentially improving performance and reducing the risk of conflicts with other addons or Storybook core components. If you're encountering any peculiar bugs or inconsistencies with story linking in older versions, upgrading to 6.0.12 is recommended to benefit from these internal improvements and ensure a cohesive Storybook environment. Importantly, peer dependencies on react and react-dom remain broadly compatible, signifying no breaking changes to existing React-based Storybook setups.
