For example you might want to always integrate the latest version of a dependency to consume cutting edge features at any given time.
A _dynamic version_ allows for resolving the latest version or the latest version of a version range for a given module.

CAUTION: Using dynamic versions in a build bears the risk of potentially breaking it. As soon as a new version of the dependency is released that contains an incompatible API change your source code might stop compiling.

Supported members of a version declaration are:

- `require`: the <<rich_versions.adoc#sec:required-version,required version>>
- `strictly`: the <<rich_versions.adoc#sec:strict-version,strict version>>
- `prefer`: the <<rich_versions.adoc#sec:preferred-version,preferred version>>
- `reject`: the list of <<rich_versions.adoc#sec:rejected-version,rejected versions>>
- `rejectAll`: a boolean to reject all <<rich_versions.adoc#sec:rejected-version,versions>>

=== Consequences of using strict versions

Using a strict version must be carefully considered, in particular by library authors.
As the _producer_, a strict version will effectively behave like a _force_: the version declaration takes precedence over whatever is found in the transitive dependency graph.
