A Composer plugin that detects outdated dependencies in your `composer.lock`, based on the
version constraints in your `composer.json`. This distinguishes it from other plugins in the
wild, most of which do not respect version constraints. With an optional security scan and
an interface for other plugins, it provides an elegant way to highlight the successes of
your project. Especially in interaction with the
[reporter plugin](https://github.com/eliashaeussler/composer-update-reporter), it enables
automated quality assurance of your projects.
