* **Next Significant Release (Tilde Operator):** The `~` operator is best
explained by example: `~1.2` is equivalent to `>=1.2,<2.0`, while `~1.2.3` is
equivalent to `>=1.2.3,<1.3`. As you can see it is mostly useful for projects
respecting semantic versioning. A common usage would be to mark the minimum
minor version you depend on, like `~1.2` (which allows anything up to, but not
including, 2.0). Since in theory there should be no backwards compatibility
breaks until 2.0, that works well. Another way of looking at it is that using
`~` specifies a minimum version, but allows the last digit specified to go up.

By default only stable releases are taken into consideration. If you would like
to also get RC, beta, alpha or dev versions of your dependencies you can do
