Description

It would be pretty handy if npm-check after updating the package.json could show the user a complete changelog (using https://github.com/dylang/changelog) of all the deps which got upgraded. Even better: it could automatically (could be a CLI option) generate a commit message. (here is a project doing that king of stuff for PHP/composer: https://github.com/pyrech/composer-changelogs)
