The check currently can't be done on point releases (to match ~) and this would be a very useful feature.

Can you simply do npm update (which now updates package.json) or do you have another use case?

[daveisfera]

I used yarn workspaces, so npm update doesn't work and unfortunately, yarn upgrade doesn't update the package.json ( yarnpkg/yarn#2042 and yarnpkg/yarn#3266 ). You can work around that using yarn upgrade-interactive, but it's a bit of a pain, so I was hoping to be able to accomplish this using npm-check-updates

Okay, that makes sense.

I am not actively developing new features for npm-check-updates, but if anyone wants to do a PR, the relevant lines are in queryVersions, npm.js, and findGreatestByLevel.
