@storybook/theming package version 6.1.8 arrived shortly after 6.1.7, offering subtle but potentially important updates for Storybook users focused on consistent and customizable UI theming. Both versions share a foundation built upon core dependencies like global, core-js, polished, and emotion libraries for styling components. They also maintain peer dependency requirements for React and ReactDOM (versions ^16.8.0 or ^17.0.0), ensuring compatibility with common React setups. The core theming functionality, powered by emotion, remains consistent between versions.
The primary distinction lies within the @storybook/client-logger dependency. Version 6.1.8 depends on @storybook/client-logger version "6.1.8" whereas version 6.1.7 depends on @storybook/client-logger version "6.1.7". This indicates that the newer version incorporates potential bug fixes, performance improvements, or new logging features within Storybook's internal logging mechanism. For developers, this likely means a more robust and reliable debugging experience, potentially aiding in identifying and resolving issues within their Storybook setups or custom themes. If you encountered issues with logging in version 6.1.7 it would be worth to upgrade to the version 6.1.8. Both packages have the same fileCount and unpackedSize so no big changes should be expected.
