## Caveats
Renovate doesn't update dependencies without a version constraint.
Example: `gem 'some-gem', '~> 1.2.3'` will update `some-gem` if a new version matching the constraint is available, but `gem 'some-gem'` won't.
If you always want to have the latest available version, consider specifying `gem 'some-gem', '> 0'`.
