@storybook/addon-links version 7.6.18 introduces subtle refinements over its predecessor, version 7.6.17, primarily impacting internal dependencies and distribution characteristics. Both versions serve the core purpose of enabling seamless navigation between stories within a Storybook environment, facilitating the creation of interactive demos and prototypes. Developers leverage this addon to link UI components effectively, showcasing their usage and interaction scenarios.
Key dependencies like ts-dedent, @storybook/csf, and @storybook/global remain consistent across both versions, ensuring continuity in core functionality. The devDependencies, including @storybook/types, @storybook/router, @storybook/core-events, @storybook/manager-api, @storybook/preview-api, and @storybook/client-logger, have been updated to version 7.6.18, reflecting internal updates within the Storybook ecosystem. The peer dependency on React remains unchanged, supporting React versions 16.8.0 and above guaranteeing compatibility with a wide range of React projects.
A notable difference lies in the dist object. Version 7.6.18 exhibits a significantly smaller unpacked size (19160 bytes) and file count (16) compared to version 7.6.17 (335883 bytes and 17 files). This suggests potential optimizations in the packaging process, potentially leading to faster installation times. This could imply internal refactoring of the artifact to reduce overall size. The newer version was released on "2024-04-23", 2 months after the older version released on "2024-02-20". For developers, these changes likely translate to a more streamlined experience with potentially faster install times.
