React Router DOM, a cornerstone library for declarative routing in React web applications, saw a minor version update from 6.6.0 to 6.6.1 in late December 2022. While seemingly small, these iterative updates often bring valuable refinements.

Examining the dependencies, react-router-dom 6.6.1 updates its dependency on react-router to version 6.6.1 (from 6.6.0) and @remix-run/router to version 1.2.1 (from 1.2.0). These underlying packages likely address bug fixes, performance improvements, or introduce subtle enhancements in routing logic and data handling. Developers should consult the changelogs for react-router and @remix-run/router for complete details on those specific updates.
