Answer 1

As already mentioned by some other answers you should not use + in dependencies because it may lead to unpredictable builds, so its always better if you first test your builds once a new update is available.

With android studio 2.2 and above Project Structure will show you the latest dependencies available.

1. Activate it by going to Android Studio > Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Gradle > Experimental and check the Use new Project Structure dialog
2. Then open it by going to File >Project Structure > Messages
