Tools for monitoring when new gem versions are released?

Does anyone know of any tools to monitor and alert me when new versions of gems named in my Gemfile are released?

It could be as simple as a rake task that reports my current version and the latest version, or as fancy as a background process that logs messages to the console whenever new versions are available.

This is exactly what Gemnasium is doing

I am also using bundle watcher, but I've set up an If This Than That sequence to email me whenever there is an update. This way I get a proactive notification.

There is also a commercial site called Gemnasium, but I have not used it.

I had the exact same need but not only for bundler, also for npm and pacman (archlinux pacman manager) checkzilla.

It's extensible so there's also different notifiers (console, email, twitter,..). It's beta software as of now but I'm using it on my servr and it's working quite well.

I'm using this site: bundle watcher

You just upload your gem file or link to it, and then you are notified via RSS when an update is available.

Bundler 1.1 introduced the command

bundle outdated

But, as you mentioned, for those with v 1.0, the bundle-outdated gem exists.
