Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

@storybook/addon-links is a valuable tool for Storybook users, enabling the creation of interactive demos and prototypes by linking stories together. Comparing versions 9.0.18 and 9.0.17, while seemingly similar at first glance, reveals key differences that are important for developers. The core functionality remains consistent – facilitating navigation between different stories within your Storybook environment, enhancing the user experience and simplifying the demonstration of component interactions. Both versions depend on @storybook/global and include typescript as a dev dependency, ensuring type safety during development, and support the same peer dependencies: React versions 16.8.0 through 19.0.0-beta and Storybook, but the prior version needs a version of Storybook 9.0.17.

The most notable difference lies in the releaseDate. Version 9.0.18 was released on July 22, 2025, while version 9.0.17 was released a week earlier, on July 15, 2025. This suggests that 9.0.18 contains bug fixes or minor improvements implemented since the previous release. Developers should prioritize upgrading to the newest version (9.0.18) to benefit from these potential enhancements and ensure they are using the most stable iteration. The consistent fileCount and unpackedSize indicate that the underlying code structure remains largely unchanged, suggesting a focus on incremental improvements rather than significant overhauls. Always consult the official Storybook changelog for a comprehensive view of the specific changes in each release. Ultimately, upgrading ensures access to the latest fixes and optimizations for linking stories within Storybook.
