@storybook/addon-links, a vital tool for creating interactive Storybook demos and prototypes, saw a notable update moving from version 6.1.21 to 6.2.0. This upgrade introduces dependency updates that enhance functionality and potentially improve performance. Most significantly, the "qs" dependency, responsible for query string parsing and stringification, jumps from version ^6.6.0 to ^6.10.0. This likely includes bug fixes, performance improvements, and potentially new features related to query string handling that developers can now leverage within their stories that utilize links.
Furthermore, the "@types/qs" definition file transitions from ^6.9.0 to ^6.9.5, ensuring greater type safety and more accurate autocompletion for developers using TypeScript. Other key updates involve core Storybook dependencies like @storybook/addons, @storybook/router, @storybook/core-events, and @storybook/client-logger, all moving from version 6.1.21 to 6.2.0, synchronizing the addon with the core Storybook ecosystem. The update to the global dependency goes from ^4.3.2 to ^4.4.0. These synchronized updates provide a more consistent and reliable experience for developers, as all core pieces are aligned. The file count and unpacked size of the package also varies hinting at internal code changes. If you leverage linking stories you should update your package to the latest version.
