Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

@storybook/addon-links facilitates seamless navigation between Storybook stories, enabling developers to craft interactive demos and prototypes using UI components. Version 8.1.9, released on June 13, 2024, builds upon the functionality offered in the previous stable version, 8.1.8, released earlier the same day. Both versions share a core set of dependencies, including ts-dedent for cleaner template literals, @storybook/csf for Component Story Format support, and @storybook/global for accessing global context.

A key area of divergence lies in the @storybook ecosystem dependencies. Version 8.1.9 updates its dev dependencies to align within the Storybook framework, specifying versions 8.1.9 for @storybook/types, @storybook/router, @storybook/core-events, @storybook/manager-api, @storybook/preview-api and @storybook/client-logger. Meanwhile prior version uses version 8.1.8 for this set of dependencies. These dependencies enable the modules to keep their internal framework up to date.

For developers, this means staying current with the latest Storybook features and improvements with version 8.1.9, potentially benefiting from bug fixes and performance enhancements within the core Storybook infrastructure. This is important because the addon leverages the router to allow for navigation between the stories inside the storybook instance. Both versions maintain compatibility with React versions 16.8.0, 17.0.0, 18.0.0, and the 19.0.0 beta, ensuring broad compatibility for React-based projects and allowing developers to use the lastest React features and capabilities. The package also shares the same MIT Licence.
