This new stable release for Nuxt Link Checker introduces many stability improvements as well as a refreshed DevTools experience.

### DevTools: Scroll To Link

When you have lots of content on a page, it can be difficult to find where specific links appear when an inspection returns with a failure. To make finding them easier, each inspection has a "scroll to" button which will take you directly to the link.
