@storybook/addon-links version 7.6.1 is a minor release following 7.6.0, providing a way to link stories within your Storybook instance, facilitating the creation of interactive demos and prototypes with your UI components. This addon simplifies navigation between stories, enhancing the user experience for both developers and stakeholders reviewing your components.
The core functionality remains consistent across both versions, with dependencies on ts-dedent, @storybook/csf, and @storybook/global unchanged. Crucially, the peer dependency on React remains ^16.8.0 || ^17.0.0 || ^18.0.0, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of React projects. Both packages are licensed under MIT.
The key difference lies in the updated versions of Storybook's internal packages within the devDependencies. Version 7.6.1 updates @storybook/types, @storybook/router, @storybook/core-events, @storybook/manager-api, @storybook/preview-api, and @storybook/client-logger to version 7.6.1, aligning them with the latest Storybook ecosystem. These updates likely contain bug fixes, performance improvements, and potentially new features within the Storybook environment itself. While the exposed API of @storybook/addon-links might not have changed drastically, developers benefit from the overall stability and enhancements provided by the updated Storybook core. Most importantly, the filecount and unpacked size are identical, so no major change has been made apart from version alignment between all storybook dependencies. Upgrading to 7.6.1 ensures you're leveraging the most current and refined Storybook experience, especially if you are using other storybook addons.
