[!NOTE] 6.3.0 is available on 🐍 PyPI and 🐙 GitHub.

• [cpan] Add CPAN package manager for Perl modules with installed, outdated, install, and upgrade support. Closes {issue}602.
• [deb-get] Add deb-get package manager with installed, outdated, search, install, upgrade, remove, sync, and cleanup support. Closes {issue}1609.
• [nix] Add Nix package manager with installed, outdated, search, install, upgrade, remove, sync, and cleanup support.
• [pacstall] Add Pacstall package manager with installed, outdated, search, install, upgrade, remove, and sync support. Closes {issue}1610.
• [sdkman] Add SDKMAN! package manager with installed, outdated, install, upgrade, sync, and cleanup support. Closes {issue}729.
• [stew] Add Stew package manager for installing pre-compiled binaries from GitHub Releases. Closes {issue}1680.
• [zerobrew] Add ZeroBrew manager with installed, outdated, install, and remove support. Closes {issue}1681.
• [uvx] Implement outdated operation. Bump minimal requirement to 0.10.10. Closes {pr}1704.
• [yarn] Split into Yarn Classic and Yarn Berry managers. Restrict Classic to <2.0.0. Closes {issue}1548.
• [yarn-berry] Add Yarn Berry (2.x+) manager with search and cleanup support.
• [winget] Switch installed and outdated to winget list --details structured output; filter to Origin Source: winget packages only, excluding sideloaded and portable entries. Bump minimum required version to >=1.28.190.
• [pip] Only report top-level packages as outdated, skipping transitive dependencies. Closes {issue}1214.
• [mpm] Support version range specifiers (e.g. >=1.20.0,<2.0.0) in manager requirement field. Refs {issue}1548.
• [mpm] Add must_succeed parameter to run_cli for structured-output calls, preventing silent data loss on CLI failures. Refs {issue}1703.
• [mpm] Add Chocolatey as a supported Windows installation method; automate package publishing on release.
• [mpm] Overhaul version tokenization: preserve original separators and case, keep hex hashes as single tokens, normalize pre-release aliases (alpha/a, beta/b, c/rc), and recognize post/patch as post-release tags.
• [mpm] Fix version comparison accuracy: integer tokens now rank above string tokens (e.g., 3.12.0 > 3.12.0a4), trailing .0 segments are treated as padding, the cosmetic v prefix is stripped, and false-positive outdated entries where parsed versions compare equal are filtered.
• [mpm] Snap version diff highlighting to separator boundaries so the full diverging token and its preceding separator are colored.
• [mpm] Detect Windows App Execution Aliases (reparse points) when resolving CLI paths, fixing detection of winget and similar tools installed via the Microsoft Store.
• [gem] Remove --user-install flag from install, upgrade, and update commands so all operations target the same gem scope as list and outdated. Closes {issue}389.
• [pip] Remove --user flag from upgrade command so upgrades target the same scope as list and outdated.
• [pip] Prepend the current Python executable to the list of candidates when searching for pip binaries, so the active environment is always checked first.
• [mpm] Cache installed package IDs before the spec loop in upgrade and remove commands, avoiding redundant CLI calls per package specifier.
• [mpm] Reduce CI matrix on pull requests: skip release builds, experimental Python versions, redundant architecture variants, and install tests. Declare windows-11-arm exclusion in [tool.repomatic.test-matrix] config instead of hardcoding it.
