> TL;DR: Currently standard libraries have an implied version number based of the Julia version. This is changing and will require users to update their Project.toml. Update – November 9th 2023: While rolling this change out we encountered some [unfortunate interactions](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/why-random-jl-is-fixed-to-version-0-0-0/105957/2). Namely that using Pkg inside the test sandbox would lead to confusing errors like: Resolving package versions... ERROR: LoadError: Unsatisfiable requirements detected for package LinearAlgebra [37e2e46d]: LinearAlgebra [37e2e…
Will [GitHub - JuliaRegistries/CompatHelper.jl: Automatically update the [compat] entries for your Julia package's dependencies](https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/CompatHelper.jl) do The Right Thing and add new compat bounds for stdlibs automatically? If not, is there a way to trigger this manually?

It does currently not do that, but it probably should!
