Enhancement: display update information for ranges

[sultan]

when one uses ranges everywhere the reports are blank which does not help.

with range [2.0,3) the user could benefit from:

• summary suggest update to, let's say, [2.1,3)
• details also display omitted version to let them know major versions exist

a blank report wrongly let the user believe no major version exists when there are

we should let them know there new versions, but outside the range they chose.

[sultan]

note:
the property report has the major versions (outside range) shown, but lacks minor ones (inside range not shown)
the dependencies report has none shown

suggestions:
add a "resolved version" column
accept all versions greater than lowest bound in search, and mark outside ones with asterisk or something of the like (see include snapshot for comparison)

Hi, are you still working on this?

[sultan]

Still on my todo list. I hope to get on it again anytime. Feel free to merge your prs. The main difficulty with this pr is I may need another api, Where ranges aren't used to filter out. that would make the range attribute useless in the api I need. I can try but any advice appreciated

[andrzejj0]

I'll check 👍

note to self:

• one solution to my problem requires rework the cache to add the method as parameter (lambda),
• another solution is changing the method getVersionsInRange of class PropertyUpdatesReportRenderer not to filter but returning the range/restrictions and use it to label the versions with *
