A Gradle plugin that reports which of a build's dependencies, plugins, and Gradle itself have newer versions available. It provides a `dependencyUpdates` task with configurable filtering, revision stability checks, and multiple report formats.

Use cases

• check for outdated gradle dependencies
• find newer versions of my project's libraries
• keep gradle plugins up to date
• audit dependency updates in a jvm build
• filter unstable dependency versions in gradle
• generate a dependency update report for multi-project builds

When to choose

• you use Gradle and want to see which dependencies have newer releases
• you want to automate dependency freshness checks in CI
• you need configurable filtering of unstable or bounded versions

When to avoid

• your build uses Maven instead of Gradle
• you need automatic dependency upgrades rather than reports
• you need vulnerability scanning rather than version updates
