@storybook/addon-links offers a way to navigate between stories within your Storybook environment, enabling the creation of interactive demos and prototypes that showcase the relationships between your UI components. Version 6.2.9, released on April 23, 2021, is a minor update from version 6.2.8, released just a week prior on April 14, 2021. While the core functionality remains consistent, the key difference lies in the synchronized versions of internal @storybook dependencies.
Specifically, version 6.2.9 updates its dependencies on other @storybook packages, like @storybook/addons, @storybook/router, @storybook/core-events and @storybook/client-logger, to version "6.2.9". In contrast, version 6.2.8 utilized version "6.2.8" of those same packages. This update ensures better compatibility and potentially addresses bug fixes or improvements present in the newer releases of these core Storybook modules.
For developers, this means ensuring consistent behavior and potentially leveraging the latest features or fixes incorporated within the Storybook ecosystem. While the code for addon-links may not have changed significantly between the versions, keeping your Storybook dependencies aligned minimizes the risk of unexpected behavior and allows you to benefit from the collective improvements across the Storybook project. Developers using Storybook should keep all their packages updated to ensure a uniform development. In both versions, dependencies like qs, global, core-js, ts-dedent, prop-types, regenerator-runtime, and @storybook/csf remain consistent. The peer dependencies for React and React DOM also stay the same, requiring version 16.8.0 or 17.0.0.
