Comparing versions 8.6.9 and 8.6.8, the core functionality remains consistent, focusing on linking stories together. Both versions share identical dependencies, including ts-dedent for template literal formatting and @storybook/global for core Storybook utilities. The developer tooling, evidenced by the typescript devDependency, also remains unchanged. React versions supported as peer dependencies are consistent, spanning React versions 16.8.0 through 19.0.0-beta.

Developers intending to use @storybook/addon-links should ensure compatibility by aligning the addon version with their Storybook installation.
