@storybook/addon-links version 7.0.18 is a minor release focusing on internal dependency updates and maintenance compared to version 7.0.17. While the core functionality, allowing developers to create links between stories for interactive demos and prototypes, remains the same, several underlying packages have been bumped to their latest compatible versions.
Specifically, dependencies like @storybook/types, @storybook/router, @storybook/core-events, @storybook/manager-api, and @storybook/preview-api, and @storybook/client-logger have been updated from version 7.0.17 to 7.0.18. These updates likely include bug fixes, performance improvements, and potentially new features within those individual packages that will now be available within @storybook/addon-links.
Developers using this addon benefit from a smoother experience when navigating between stories, creating more cohesive user flows for showcasing components. The peer dependencies react and react-dom remain unchanged, ensuring compatibility with React versions 16.8.0 and above.
The dist metadata shows both versions containing the same number of files (22) and identical unpacked size (23567 bytes) suggesting that the changes are primarily within the dependency updates rather than direct modifications to the addon's code. The version 7.0.18 was released on May 26, 2023, a couple of days after prior stable version 7.0.17. Developers should upgrade to version 7.0.18 to take advantage of these improvements and ensure they are running the most up-to-date and stable version of the addon.
