Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

@storybook/addon-links is a powerful tool within the Storybook ecosystem, enabling developers to create interactive demos and prototypes by linking stories together. Versions 6.4.1 and 6.4.2 share the same core functionality, providing a way to navigate between different stories within your Storybook environment, enhancing the user experience and simplifying the presentation of complex UIs. Both versions rely on a set of dependencies including qs for query string parsing, ts-dedent for template literal manipulation and various core Storybook packages like @storybook/addons, @storybook/router, and @storybook/core-events to seamlessly integrate within the Storybook environment. They also define react and react-dom as peer dependencies, ensuring compatibility across a range of React projects (version 16.8.0 or 17.0.0).

The key difference between the two versions lies in the updated versions of internal Storybook dependencies in 6.4.2. Specifically, packages like @storybook/addons, @storybook/router, and @storybook/core-events increased from versions 6.4.1 to 6.4.2. This indicates that 6.4.2 probably contains bug fixes and improvements within the broader Storybook framework that relate to how the addon functions. While 6.4.1 was released on November 30, 2021, the 6.4.2 version came out shortly after, on December 1, 2021, pointing to possibly urgent fix. Users should generally prefer the newer version, 6.4.2, especially to benefit from the latest improvements and fixes within the Storybook ecosystem. This enhances the developer experience by providing more stability and reliability.
