cargo-outdated is a cargo subcommand that displays when Rust dependencies have newer versions available. It builds a temporary workspace, runs cargo update against it, and compares the resulting dependency tree with the original to report SemVer-compatible and latest versions.

Use cases

• check which rust dependencies are out of date
• find newer versions of crates in my cargo project
• list semver-compatible dependency upgrades
• audit outdated dependencies in a rust workspace
• see latest available versions of direct and transitive dependencies

When to choose

• you maintain a Rust project and want a quick report of outdated dependencies
• you want to distinguish SemVer-compatible upgrades from latest-version upgrades
• you prefer a cargo-native CLI workflow

When to avoid

• you want automated dependency updates rather than a report (use cargo-edit or renovate)
• you need license or security vulnerability auditing (use cargo-audit or cargo-deny)
