Range-based requirements in composer.json

[StudioMaX]

At this time all requirements in composer.json are range-based (i.e. 3.1.*). Are you know why this scheme is used instead of the Next Significant Release operators (i.e. ^3.1)?
Probably the most of our dependencies is following SemVer, so there shouldn't be BC for not-significant updates.
I've just launched the composer outdated command and it says that we have a lot of outdated libraries:

I use range-based requirements to not break PHP Censor (Because not all libraries follow SemVer strict). I agree that dependencies should be update. I will update it to new minor versions manually in the issue.

Fixed. Thanks @StudioMaX!
