Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

@storybook/addon-links is a vital tool for Storybook users aiming to create interactive demos and prototypes by connecting individual stories of UI components. Version 8.1.6 represents a recent update to this addon, building upon the foundations laid by its predecessor, version 8.1.5. While the core functionality remains the same – enabling navigation between stories to simulate user flows and application states – the real differences lie in the updated dependencies, potentially impacting performance, stability, and compatibility with the broader Storybook ecosystem.

Specifically, the @storybook/types, @storybook/router, @storybook/core-events, @storybook/manager-api, and @storybook/preview-api, and @storybook/client-logger devDependencies have been updated to version 8.1.6 from 8.1.5. These updates likely include bug fixes, performance improvements, and new features within Storybook's core architecture, indirectly benefiting addon-links users. Developers should test the updated addon in their Storybook environments to ensure seamless integration, resolve potential conflicts, and take the most advantage of these enhancements. The peer dependency on react remains unchanged, supporting versions ^16.8.0, ^17.0.0, ^18.0.0, and ^19.0.0-beta, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of React projects. Considering the release date, version 8.1.6 incorporates very recent improvements and fixes within the Storybook ecosystem.
