What is the equivalent of Ivy Maven versions: display-dependency-updates?

Question

I have an ivy.xml file where I specify my dependencies explicitly. Are there any features built into Ivy that will allow me to detect or automatically update my legacy dependencies?

I do not want to use last.release because I want a fully stable and reproducible build. But from time to time I want to update some dependencies, and at the same time it would be nice to answer the question, what other dependencies are outdated?
