How do I know when a new version of a dependency is available?

General Usage

I have recently switched to using a comprehensive [compat] section in my Project.toml files in order to enable automatic registration (which works great, btw).

However, now how do I know which packages get new versions so that I can test and upgrade them, given that pkg> up will ignore newer versions which don’t match?

Ie [compat] section in Genie:

[compat]
ArgParse = "0.6"
FilePaths = "0.8"
Gumbo = "0.5"
HTTP = "0.8"
HttpCommon = "0.5"
JSON = "0.21"
LoggingExtras = "0.3"
MbedTLS = "0.7"
Millboard = "0.2"
Nettle = "0.4"
OrderedCollections = "1"
Reexport = "0.2"
Revise = "2"
URIParser = "0.4"
julia = "1"
