✅ Ranges are supported.

Valid rangeStrategy values are: bump, widen, replace

Description

npm versioning is the most well known/widely-used implementation of Semantic Versioning 2.0.

It's important to understand that "npm" versioning scheme is not the same as "semver" versioning. SemVer's spec does not define ranges at all - so all range/constraint syntax in npm is npm-specific and not part of the spec.
