Description

I would like to do "paket outdated" but only for minor-versions check-up.

Sometimes packages release important security updates to old versions too, not only supporting the latest version.

Let's take example package, let's say I'm using SwaggerProvider 0.12.1:

Version, Downloads, Updated
2.0.0-beta4 2,764 21/08/2022
1.0.1 11,212 25/06/2022
1.0.0 2,541 17/04/2022
0.12.2 3,484 25/06/2022
0.12.1 579 09/04/2022

The major version 1.0 has changed Newtonsoft.Json to System.Json which is a major migration for me, I don't want to re-test all serialization.
But I would still like to find the easy minor-update.

Research direction

Start with the paket outdated command and its version-selection behavior. Clarify how a minor-version-only check should handle packages whose latest releases require a major migration, using the SwaggerProvider example as a reference. Done means the command can report compatible minor updates without requiring major-version upgrades.
