@storybook/addon-links version 7.4.2 has been released, succeeding version 7.4.1. Both versions serve the purpose of connecting stories within Storybook, enabling developers to create interactive demos and prototypes using UI components. The core functionality of linking stories remains consistent between the two versions, indicated by the shared description.
A primary difference lies in the updated dependencies. Version 7.4.2 updates its internal dependencies, upgrading @storybook/types, @storybook/router, @storybook/core-events, @storybook/manager-api, @storybook/preview-api, and @storybook/client-logger to version 7.4.2, aligning them with the core Storybook ecosystem. In contrast, version 7.4.1 utilizes the 7.4.1 versions of these dependencies. This update likely bundles bug fixes, performance improvements, or new features within the Storybook framework itself.
For developers using @storybook/addon-links, upgrading to version 7.4.2 ensures compatibility with the latest Storybook features and improvements. If you're already using Storybook 7.4.1 or a similar version, upgrading addon-links is highly recommended so that you're aligning the dependencies together and you can take advantage of the latest enhancements.
The other dependencies, such as ts-dedent, prop-types, @storybook/csf, fs-extra, and typescript, remain consistent between the two versions, suggesting that the core implementation of the addon hasn't undergone significant changes. The peer dependencies, requiring react and react-dom versions 16.8.0 or later, are also unchanged, maintaining compatibility with a wide range of React projects.
