Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

@storybook/addon-links version 6.3.12 introduces minor updates compared to its predecessor, version 6.3.11, both designed to facilitate story linking within Storybook, enhancing UI component demos and prototyping. While the core functionality remains consistent – enabling developers to connect stories for creating interactive experiences – the key distinctions lie in dependency versions and release timing.

Specifically, the newer version upgrades several internal Storybook dependencies: @storybook/addons, @storybook/router, and @storybook/core-events, and @storybook/client-logger are updated from 6.3.11 to 6.3.12. These seemingly small bumps often include bug fixes, performance improvements, and refinements to the Storybook ecosystem that trickle down into the addon. The libraries qs, global, core-js, @types/qs, ts-dedent, prop-types, @storybook/csf and regenerator-runtime remain at the same version. Developers should be aware that while the peer dependencies for React and React DOM remain unchanged, adhering to the specified versions (^16.8.0 || ^17.0.0) ensures compatibility.

Choosing to upgrade offers the benefit of staying up-to-date with the Storybook platform, potentially resolving minor inconsistencies or benefiting from subtle enhancements made to the linked components. These small upgrades within Storybook's internal dependencies contribute to a more stable and seamless development experience, which is exactly what developers in search of efficient workflows look for. The upgrade between the versions should be seamless. The 6.3.12 version was released on October 14, 2021, just two days after 6.3.11.
