Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

@storybook/addon-links version 8.4.1 is a minor release following 8.4.0, designed to enhance how developers connect stories within their Storybook environments for improved demo creation and prototyping. Both versions share the core functionality of enabling navigation between stories, leveraging dependencies like ts-dedent for template literal manipulation, @storybook/csf for Component Story Format handling, and @storybook/global for accessing global Storybook state. They also depend on typescript as a dev dependency, facilitating a type-safe development experience.

The critical difference lies in the peer dependency requirement for storybook. Version 8.4.0 requires storybook version 8.4.0 as a peer dependency, while 8.4.1 evolves this to explicitly require storybook version 8.4.1. This adjustment likely addresses compatibility issues or bug fixes discovered in the initial 8.4.0 release, meaning users of 8.4.0 experiencing issues might find upgrading to 8.4.1 resolves them by ensuring full compatibility between the addon and the core Storybook framework. Both are MIT licensed and are part of the larger Storybook ecosystem, with funding supported through Open Collective. Developers should upgrade to 8.4.1 for a smoother, more reliable experience, ensuring they are using the intended version of Storybook with the addon. While file count and unpacked size remain identical, indicating no substantial code changes, the peer dependency update is crucial for application stability within Storybook projects.
