How dependency updates are determined

Direct dependencies are updated to the latest stable version:

• 2.0.1 → 2.2.0
• 1.2 → 1.3
• 0.1.0 → 1.0.1

Range operators are preserved and the version is updated:

• ^1.2.0 → ^2.0.0
• 1.x → 2.x
• >0.2.0 → >0.3.0

"Less than" is replaced with a wildcard:

• <2.0.0 → ^3.0.0
• 1.0.0 < 2.0.0 → ^3.0.0

"Any version" is preserved:

• * → *

Prerelease and deprecated versions are ignored by default.

• Use --pre to include prerelease versions (e.g. alpha, beta, build1235)
• Use --deprecated to include deprecated versions

With --target minor, only update patch and minor:

• 0.1.0 → 0.2.1

With --target patch, only update patch:

• 0.1.0 → 0.1.2
