Describe the bug

Somehow even though there's a release v7.0.0 which is also marked as "latest" it is not published to the npm registry: https://www.npmjs.com/package/storybook-addon-designs?activeTab=versions

How to reproduce the bug?

Go to npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/storybook-addon-designs?activeTab=versions
There is no v7.0.0, despite the release being published on Github.

Expected behaviour

I would expect that v7.0.0 would also be available to the npm registry, so the dependency can be updated.

Hi @emzoumpo! We published the new version at @storybook/addon-designs. You should see it in the npm registry there.

@pocka Can you run npm deprecate on the old package name? I could do it, but I do not have access to the original package.

I think deprecation is not suitable for this situation (yet), as the new version drops SB6 compatibility.
Adding a note to README (like this) then publishing it as v6.3.2 would be better?

If this is the best way to do it, I think there should also be a 7.0.0-beta.3 version that is doing the same (for reasons stated in my comment below: #200 (comment))

My bad, the web UI I was looking at is only for "package deprecation". The CLI command (npm deprecate) can deprecate specific version ranges. I'll mark 7.0.0-beta.2 as deprecated so users will be noticed.

[pocka]

Done.

Hi @pocka @thafryer , thank you for the answer!

Since the package name was storybook-addon-designs, even on v7 beta (for example, in our package.json we have: "storybook-addon-designs": "^7.0.0-beta.2"), and that was the instructions for compatibility with Storybook v7 when in came out, so I assume a lot of people have a similar version in their dependencies, (since there was no stable release back then), it would be nice to have a deprecation warning for the old package.
