Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

@storybook/addons versions 6.1.12 and 6.1.11, both designed to manage and extend Storybook's functionality, share a common goal: empowering developers to create richer, more customized development environments. Both versions act as a central hub for Storybook addons, allowing users to integrate various tools and features seamlessly into their Storybook projects, enhancing the component development workflow. Key functionalities include managing addon communication through channels, providing access to Storybook's API, handling routing within the Storybook UI, and applying consistent theming across the interface. Developers benefit from the unified addon store, making it easier to discover, install, and manage extensions.

The core difference between the versions lies primarily in bug fixes and internal dependency updates rather than major feature additions. Specifically, upgrading from 6.1.11 to 6.1.12 ensures you're using the latest versions of internal Storybook packages like @storybook/api, @storybook/router, @storybook/theming, @storybook/channels, @storybook/core-events, and @storybook/client-logger, all bumped from version 6.1.11 to 6.1.12. These underlying changes contribute to improved stability, performance, and potential bug resolutions within the addon ecosystem. While the surface-level API remains consistent, developers benefit from a more refined and reliable addon experience, ensuring compatibility and optimal performance within their Storybook setups. Both versions maintain peer dependencies on react and react-dom (version ^16.8.0 or ^17.0.0).
