@storybook/addon-viewport is a valuable tool for Storybook users, allowing developers to quickly prototype and test UI components across various screen sizes, directly within their Storybook environment. Comparing versions 4.1.3 and 4.1.2 reveals subtle but important distinctions. Both versions share functionality enabling viewport customization, relying on dependencies like global, core-js, and prop-types for core features like handling global scope, polyfilling JavaScript features, and type validation. Crucially, they also integrate with other Storybook components using @storybook/addons, @storybook/components, and @storybook/core-events.
While a direct comparison doesn't expose breaking API changes or major feature additions, upgrading from 4.1.2 to 4.1.3 involves synchronizing versions of @storybook/addons, @storybook/components, and @storybook/core-events to 4.1.3. This highlights a maintenance update. This type of update normally involves internal or bug fixes, improved stability, or alignment across the Storybook ecosystem is usually a good incentive to upgrade. Developers using @storybook/addon-viewport should prioritize staying current with dependencies to receive the benefits of bug and security fixes, and to ensure compatibility with the broader Storybook environment. If you're already using Storybook 4.1.x keeping all the Storybook related packages up to date is always a good idea.
