Storybook's @storybook/addon-links package facilitates seamless navigation between stories within your Storybook environment. Versions 6.1.7 and 6.1.6, both MIT licensed and residing in the addons/links directory of the main Storybook repository, offer similar functionality for creating story links. The core purpose of this addon remains consistent: to enable developers to create direct links between different stories, enhancing the interactive experience and simplifying documentation. Both versions share identical dependencies including qs, global, core-js, @types/qs, ts-dedent, prop-types, @storybook/csf, regenerator-runtime, @storybook/client-logger, and @storybook/core-events. Additionally, both declare @types/webpack-env as a devDependency and specify the same peerDependencies for react and react-dom, compatible with versions 16.8.0 and 17.0.0.
The key difference lies in the internal Storybook package versions that @storybook/addon-links relies on. Version 6.1.7 updates dependencies on @storybook/addons, @storybook/router, and @storybook/core-events to version 6.1.7. In contrast, version 6.1.6 depends on version 6.1.6 of those core packages. This update likely includes bug fixes and internal improvements within the Storybook ecosystem and may be necessary for smooth operation if using other Storybook packages at version 6.1.7. From a developer's perspective, upgrading to 6.1.7 alongside other Storybook packages ensures compatibility and access to the latest improvements. Both packages contain the same number of files and have the same unpacked size. The newer version was released one day after the previous version.
