package.json dependencies ^ 表示什么

{
  "name": "application-name",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node app.js"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "express": "3.4.7",
    "ejs": "*",
    "validator": "*",
    "connect-flash": "~0.1.1",
    "mongoose": "*",
    "express-partials": "~0.2.0",
    "blueimp-file-upload-node": "~2.1.0",
    "gulp": "3.5.6",
    "tiny-lr": "0.0.5",
    "gulp-livereload": "~1.2.0",
    "node-static": "~0.7.3",
    "imagemagick": "^0.1.3",
    "formidable": "^1.0.14",
    "colors": "^0.6.2",
    "gulp-nodemon": "^1.0.2"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "gulp-htmltidy": "0.0.1"
  }
}

我的package.json的dependencies出现了很多**^**带头的字符，官方文档也没有，不知道是什么东西。。我用npm install后发现imagemagick下的版本还是0.1.3，感觉不是非的意思求解释，谢谢～

和rails配置文件好像，我猜是版本要大于caret后面的数字的意思

^1.2.3 := >=1.2.3-0 <2.0.0-0 “Compatible with 1.2.3”. When using caret operators, anything from the specified version (including prerelease) will be supported up to, but not including, the next major version (or its prereleases). 1.5.1 will satisfy ^1.2.3, while 1.2.2 and 2.0.0-beta will not.
