In my package.json one of my dependencies is... "@packageXXX": "^0.7.0",
When I do a "npm outdated" I see... @packageXXX current: 0.7.0 wanted: 0.7.0 latest: 0.8.0
When I do "npm i" it doesn't install the latest minor version "0.8.0"
My understand is having the caret there is suppose to update to the latest minor version, but it doesn't. Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong?

Caret (^) notation: It is used for automatically updating the minor updates along with patch updates. Example: The ^1.2. 4 will update all the future Minor and patch updates, for example, ^1.2. 4 will automatically change the dependency to 1.
Using a caret (^) sign means that we can accept minor releases and patch releases, but not a major release when updating our package.
Delete node_modules folder and package.lock. json files. You then run npm install and the packages should be updated. Worked for me anyway.
This is the case with 0.x.x since a leading zero indicates that the package isn't into a "stable" version yet. Until your package hits 1.x.x you'll need to do these updates manually (and be careful...your package isn't stable yet, meaning breaking changes can occur!).

Major version zero (0.y.z) is for initial development. Anything may change at any time. The public API should not be considered stable.
