composer-changelogs

One thing I love about this plugin is the direct links to changelogs and diff when I run "composer update", this is what allow me to make sure what's going to be shipped with my application / what I can improve with those new packages updates.

But it's kind of tricky, slow and breaking stuffs sometimes to run "composer update" just to get the list of links / versions etc.

There is an outdated command in Composer which list all the installed packages and what versions you could upgrade with:

bash-4.3$ composer outdated

composer/ca-bundle                             1.0.8                                     1.1.0   Lets you find a path to the system CA bundle, and includes a fallback to the Mozil...
doctrine/doctrine-bundle                       1.6.13                                    1.8.1   Symfony DoctrineBundle
doctrine/doctrine-migrations-bundle            v1.2.1                                    v1.3.1  Symfony DoctrineMigrationsBundle
doctrine/orm                                   v2.5.11                                   v2.5.14 Object-Relational-Mapper for PHP

This is super useful but it miss the links with diff and changelog this plugin provides when doing an update!

Could this be possible to add?

One alternative could have been to support the dry-run flag of the composer update command but sadly Composer do not run script & plugin when this flag is passed :confused: (related to #71)
