@storybook/addons is a crucial package for extending the functionality of Storybook, the popular UI development environment. Versions 4.1.7 and 4.1.6 are relatively close in release dates (January 17, 2019, and January 9, 2019, respectively), indicating a quick follow-up, likely addressing bug fixes or minor improvements. Both versions share the same core dependencies: global, util-deprecate, @storybook/channels, and @storybook/components. The most noticeable difference is the increment in the version numbers of @storybook/channels and @storybook/components which are dependencies of @storybook/addons. Developers upgrading from 4.1.6 to 4.1.7 should check the changelogs for @storybook/channels and @storybook/components to understand the specific changes and ensure compatibility with their existing addon implementations.
The dist section shows the same fileCount and unpackedSize, suggesting minimal code-level differences beyond dependency updates. The repository URL remains consistent, pointing to the main Storybook repository on GitHub, providing a central location for contributing and reporting issues for both versions. Given the rapid release cycle and similar package characteristics, the 4.1.7 update likely addresses minor refinements, bug fixes, or performance enhancements within its dependent packages. Upgrading is generally recommended to leverage these improvements and maintain compatibility with the broader Storybook ecosystem.
