@storybook/react has released version 8.4.1, a minor update following closely on the heels of version 8.4.0. Both versions serve as the React renderer for Storybook, enabling developers to build, test, and showcase React components in an isolated environment. Key features remain consistent: developers can expect the same robust component ecosystem, theming capabilities via @storybook/theming, UI components from @storybook/components, and seamless integration with Storybook's manager and preview APIs.
The difference between the two releases appears minimal, primarily involving updates to internal dependencies within the Storybook ecosystem. Specifically, dependencies like @storybook/theming, @storybook/components, @storybook/manager-api, @storybook/preview-api and @storybook/react-dom-shim were bumped from version 8.4.0 to 8.4.1 to ensure compatibility between StoryBook's packages. There do not appear to be any changes to developer-facing APIs or core functionalities. It's also confirmed that the peerDependencies for react, react-dom, storybook, typescript and @storybook/test remain the same in requirements, ensuring backwards compatibility.
Developers upgrading from 8.4.0 to 8.4.1 should anticipate a smooth transition, with no breaking changes expected. The update likely addresses bug fixes and internal improvements within the Storybook infrastructure. For new users, both versions offer a solid foundation for leveraging Storybook's powerful React component development workflow with the latest bug-fixes, however, it's always recommended to use the latest stable version. The unpacked size has decreased slightly, suggesting minor code optimizations.
