Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

The @storybook/addons package, a crucial component of the Storybook ecosystem, provides a centralized store for managing and sharing addons throughout your Storybook environment. Analyzing versions 6.5.11 and 6.5.12 reveals subtle but important updates. Both versions share the same core functionality: a global object, core-js for modern JavaScript features, and dependencies on essential Storybook packages like @storybook/api, @storybook/csf (though it's a canary version), @storybook/router, @storybook/theming, @storybook/channels, @storybook/core-events, and @storybook/client-logger, ensuring consistent communication and styling across addons. They also maintain the same peer dependencies on React and React DOM, supporting versions 16.8.0 up to 18.0.0.

The key difference lies in the internal versioning of dependencies. Version 6.5.12 updates the internal dependencies on other Storybook packages like @storybook/api, @storybook/router, @storybook/theming, @storybook/channels, @storybook/core-events, and @storybook/client-logger from 6.5.11 to 6.5.12. These synchronized version bumps suggest potential bug fixes, performance improvements, or new features within those individual packages that directly impact addon development and management. For developers, this means a more stable and potentially enhanced addon experience. While both versions have the same unpacked size and file count, the release date difference of just one day (September 13th for 6.5.11 and September 14th for 6.5.12) points to a focused effort to address identified issues or incorporate last-minute improvements into the Storybook ecosystem. Updating to 6.5.12 ensures you're running the most up-to-date version, benefiting from the latest refinements within the Storybook framework.
