Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

@storybook/addon-links version 6.5.6 is a patch release focusing on refinements and bug fixes compared to the previous stable version 6.5.5. Both versions provide developers with the ability to create interactive prototypes and demos by linking Storybook stories together. This addon enhances the Storybook development environment by allowing users to navigate between different components and states directly within the Storybook UI, facilitating a streamlined workflow for showcasing component interactions and application flows.

The core dependencies remain largely the same between the two versions, with shared reliance on packages like qs for query string parsing, global for environment detection, and core-js for JavaScript language features. Dependencies like @storybook/addons, @storybook/router, @storybook/core-events, and @storybook/client-logger are updated to their 6.5.6 versions, ensuring compatibility and leveraging any improvements made within the Storybook ecosystem. The peer dependencies for React and React DOM remain consistent, supporting versions ^16.8.0, ^17.0.0, and ^18.0.0. Developers upgrading from 6.5.5 to 6.5.6 should expect a seamless transition, primarily benefiting from internal improvements and bug resolutions within the Storybook framework. The crucial functionality of linking stories remains unchanged, so user workflows won't be noticeably impacted. The release date of 6.5.6 is May 30, 2022, offering a slightly more recent iteration of the addon compared to 6.5.5 released on May 24, 2022.
