@storybook/addon-links version 7.0.8 brings incremental improvements over version 7.0.7, primarily focusing on internal dependency updates and refinements rather than introducing groundbreaking new features. For developers already using Storybook 7, the upgrade to 7.0.8 is generally recommended to benefit from the latest bug fixes and performance enhancements within the Storybook ecosystem.
A key difference lies in the updated dependencies, where internal Storybook packages like @storybook/types, @storybook/router, @storybook/core-events, @storybook/manager-api, and @storybook/preview-api are all bumped from version 7.0.7 to 7.0.8. While the specific changes within these packages aren't detailed here, these updates typically involve bug fixes, performance tweaks, and compatibility improvements that contribute to a smoother Storybook experience. The dist object also shows a minor size increase in unpacked size implying some code addition or modification.
Developers who rely on @storybook/addon-links for creating interactive demos and prototypes by linking stories together can expect continued stability and compatibility with the core Storybook framework. It continues to support React versions 16.8.0, 17.0.0, and 18.0.0 as peer dependencies, ensuring broad compatibility with existing React projects. Upgrading to the latest patch version is good practice, but the changes from 7.0.7 to 7.0.8 indicates a low risk and moderate reward update.
