Poetry is not updating fastapi

[Popkornium18]

I have a project that uses fastapi and when I added it as a dependency 0.103.0 was the newest version. That means I have fastapi = "^0.103.0" as a dependency. I think that means that running poetry update should update it to the newest version, unless that version is 1.0.0. Is that correct?

When I run poetry update it only updates fastapi to 0.103.2. I have to bump the version in the pyproject.toml file, in order to update to the newest minor version.

Am I just assuming poetry works in ways it just doesn't or is there something wrong?

please read the docs https://python-poetry.org/docs/dependency-specification#caret-requirements

Ah I see my mistake. I read that page and thought my use matched the first example. I didn't realize that the caret has a different meaning for versions lower than 1.0.
