About:
cargo-outdated is a Cargo subcommand that scans your Rust project's Cargo.lock file to check for outdated dependencies. It compares the current versions of your dependencies against the latest versions available on crates.io, helping you identify security vulnerabilities and breaking changes. This tool is essential for maintaining up-to-date and secure Rust applications.
Key Features:
  • Checks for newer versions of dependencies than what is specified in Cargo.lock
  • Differentiates between compatible updates (semver-compatible) and latest versions
  • Supports checking specific dependencies or entire workspaces
  • Provides clear, color-coded output for easy parsing
Use Cases:
  • Auditing Rust projects for outdated dependencies before releases
  • Continuous integration pipelines to enforce dependency freshness
  • Identifying potential security vulnerabilities in transitive dependencies
Alternatives:
  • cargo-update – cargo-update installs newer versions of binaries, whereas cargo-outdated only reports on version mismatches in the lockfile.
  • Dependabot / Renovate – These are automated dependency update bots that create pull requests, while cargo-outdated is a CLI tool for manual inspection.
