Antoine Toulme resolved BUILDR-651.
-----------------------------------
    Resolution: Won't Fix

Sorry, the answer is no.

We'd rather be a little behind but be able to release early and often, so you get a valid, tested update, than let you at the mercy of a third-party update.

If we're missing a particular update that's crucial to you, let us know. We can issue patch releases with the change quickly.

> Is is possible to loosen some of the restrictions on some of the gem deps. In particular it would be nice if highline could be moved to ~> 1.6.2 so patched versions could be used (highline is up to 1.6.11 right now).
> With the specific gems pinned, it makes it difficult for lib that integrate with Buildr (such as https://github.com/mguymon/lock_jar), because it must line up its deps to maintain support for Buildr. 
> Present gem runtime dependencies for Buildr 1.4.7
