@xenoterracide What you want is the version "5.+ which means "the highest version of 5.xxxx that can be found.

well, no not really... I know I can do that, but I have a long term goal of... fuzz testing my dependencies. So if I say 5.+, then I should be testing that 5.1 does in fact work.

You can do that with gradle ToolKit, but just specifying 5.1+ won't work there either, if you want to test against each version then you'll have to specify those versions in a list.

yes, I know gradle doesn't support it by default, and that more work would need to be done... but getting the version definitions accurate would be a step in the right direction, imho.

That said...

I'm more interested in what the constraint actually means, as I didn't find it obvious from the docs

5.+ means "take latest 5.x version available"
