Tools for monitoring when new gem versions are released?

Question

Does anyone know of any tools to monitor and alert me when new versions of gems named in my Gemfile are released?

It could be as simple as a rake task that reports my current version and the latest version, or as fancy as a background process that logs messages to the console whenever new versions are available.

Answer 1

Bundler 1.1 introduced the command

bundle outdated

But, as you mentioned, for those with v 1.0, the bundle-outdated gem exists.

Answer 2

I'm using this site: bundle watcher

You just upload your gem file or link to it, and then you are notified via RSS when an update is available.
