V4 drop support for storybook v8 ?

[leo3620]

Hello,

The latest version v4.0.0 has 'feat: add storybook 9 support', but it does not mention drop support for v8. Is it normal that it does not work anymore with v8 ? Btw v9 is still in beta. This version shouldn't be in beta too ? For people that use tools such as renovate to update deps automatically, that can be problematic.

npm error code ERESOLVE

Thank you

Storybook version 9 is a breaking change, and it is typical for SB to not be compatible with previous major versions. It is not backwards compatible. Hence, the major version update of this plugin.
