latest-version

Check deps.dev for the latest version of any artifact

Installation

Pre-build binaries for the main architectures can be pulled from Github releases.

This project is published to crates.io, if you have a rust toolchain installed, you can also install via cargo:

cargo install latest-version

Alternatively, you can build from source.

Building

Prerequisites

This tool is build with Rust so you need to have a rust toolchain and cargo installed. If you don't, please visit https://rustup.rs/ and follow their instructions.

Building

The preferred way is to run:

make install

If you do not have a fairly recent make (on macOS, homebrew can install a newer version), or don't want to use make, you can also run cargo install --path ..

Usage

Run latest-version --help for an overview of all available options.

The main usage is by providing artifact coordinates in the form of [system:]groupId:artifact, followed by multiple :version qualifiers. These version qualifier are Semantic Version Ranges. For each of the provided versions, the latest available version on maven central is printed.

Default version

The version ranges can be left out, in which case the latest overall version is printed.

Multiple Version ranges

You can also enter multiple coordinates, each with their own versions to check against. The result are printed as they arrive, so they might be out of order.

Pre Release Versions

Pre-releases can be included with the --include-pre-releases flag (or -i for short).

Version overrides

The versions are matched in order and a single version can only be matched by one qualifier. Previous matches will – depending on the range – consume all versions that would have also been matched by later qualifiers. Try to define the qualifiers in the order from most restrictive to least.

Examples

Matching against minor-compatible releases.

$ latest-version org.neo4j.gds:proc:~1.1:~1.3:1
Latest version for maven:org.neo4j.gds:proc matching >=1.1.0, <1.2.0: 1.1.6
Latest version for maven:org.neo4j.gds:proc matching >=1.3.0, <1.4.0: 1.3.5
Latest version for maven:org.neo4j.gds:proc matching >=1.0.0, <2.0.0: 1.6.0

Matching against major compatible releases. Note that 1.3 does not produce any match, as it is already covered by 1.1.

$ latest-version org.neo4j.gds:proc:^1.1:^1.3:^1
Latest version for maven:org.neo4j.gds:proc matching >=1.1.0, <2.0.0: 1.6.0
No version for maven:org.neo4j.gds:proc matching >=1.3.0, <2.0.0
Latest version for maven:org.neo4j.gds:proc matching >=1.0.0, <2.0.0: 1.0.0

Inclusion of pre releases.

$ latest-version org.neo4j.gds:proc:~1.1:~1.3:1 --include-pre-releases
Latest version for maven:org.neo4j.gds:proc matching >=1.1.0, <1.2.0: 1.1.6
Latest version for maven:org.neo4j.gds:proc matching >=1.3.0, <1.4.0: 1.3.5
Latest version for maven:org.neo4j.gds:proc matching >=1.0.0, <2.0.0: 1.4.0-alpha02

Default version.

$ latest-version org.neo4j.gds:proc
Latest version for maven:org.neo4j.gds:proc matching >=0.0.0: 1.6.0

$ latest-version org.neo4j.gds:proc --include-pre-releases
Latest version for maven:org.neo4j.gds:proc matching *: 1.4.0-alpha02

Multiple checks.

$ latest-version org.neo4j.gds:proc org.neo4j:neo4j
Latest version for maven:org.neo4j.gds:proc matching >=0.0.0: 1.6.0
Latest version for maven:org.neo4j:neo4j matching >=0.0.0: 4.2.6

Artifact Coordinates

The default specifier searches for maven packages and uses the groupId:artifactId scheme. These specifiers can be prefixed with one of the available systems on deps.dev. At the time this is:

• maven
• cargo
• npm
• go

The presence of a system selector changes the way that the remaining specifier is understood.

Maven packages

[maven:]$groupId:$artifactId

Maven packages require two components, the groupId and the artifactId. This is also the default system.

The following calls are identical

$ latest-version org.neo4j:neo4j maven:org.neo4j:neo4j
Latest version for maven:org.neo4j:neo4j matching >=0.0.0: 4.2.6
Latest version for maven:org.neo4j:neo4j matching >=0.0.0: 4.2.6

The explicit maven: can be used to search for artifacts that contain a group id that is also a system identifier, such as cargo:cargo.

Using cargo:cargo will search the cargo system for a cargo crate. Using maven:cargo:cargo will search the maven system for a cargo groupId and a cargo artifactId.

Cargo crates

cargo:$crate

Cargo crates require an explicit cargo: system identifier, followed by a single crate name.

$ latest-version cargo:lenient_semver
Latest version for cargo:lenient_semver matching >=0.0.0: 0.3.0

NPM packages

npm:[$scope:]$package

NPM packages require an explicit npm: system identifier, followed by an optional scope, followed by the package.

In the easiest form, npm requires only a single package specifier

$ latest-version npm:neo4j-driver
Latest version for npm:neo4j-driver matching >=0.0.0: 4.3.0

In order to search for scoped packages, the scope needs be before the package name. The scope can be separated via / or : and the leading @ is optional. All of these are identical

$ latest-version npm:@types/neo4j npm:types/neo4j npm:@types:neo4j npm:types:neo4j
Latest version for npm:@types/neo4j matching >=0.0.0: 2.0.2
Latest version for npm:@types/neo4j matching >=0.0.0: 2.0.2
Latest version for npm:@types/neo4j matching >=0.0.0: 2.0.2
Latest version for npm:@types/neo4j matching >=0.0.0: 2.0.2

Searching for scoped packages where the package could be parsed as a version requirement, such as @euler/1 requires the usage of either @ or / to disambiguate from just searching for euler and the version requirement 1.

$ latest-version npm:euler:1 npm:@euler:1 npm:euler/1 npm:@euler/1
No version for npm:euler matching >=1.0.0, <2.0.0   #  <- `npm:euler:1` -> unscoped `euler`, version 1
Latest version for npm:@euler/1 matching >=0.0.0: 0.0.5  # using `@` to disambiguate
Latest version for npm:@euler/1 matching >=0.0.0: 0.0.5  # using `/`  disambiguate
Latest version for npm:@euler/1 matching >=0.0.0: 0.0.5  # using `@` and `/` to disambiguate

Go modules

go:$user:$module

Go modules require an explicit go: system identifier, followed by two more identifiers. Those will be searched as the full module path github.com/$user/$module. To align the syntax with the : as separator, github.com can also be used instead of go to specify a module from the github.com repository. To use a different repository, you can specify the full path as a single argument.

The following are identical

$ latest-version go:neo4j:neo4j-go-driver go:github.com/neo4j/neo4j-go-driver github.com:neo4j:neo4j-go-driver
Latest version for go:github.com/neo4j/neo4j-go-driver matching >=0.0.0: v1.8.3
Latest version for go:github.com/neo4j/neo4j-go-driver matching >=0.0.0: v1.8.3
Latest version for go:github.com/neo4j/neo4j-go-driver matching >=0.0.0: v1.8.3

Note that using a single identifier with / does require a repository:

$ latest-version go:neo4j/neo4j-go-driver
No version for go:neo4j/neo4j-go-driver matching >=0.0.0
