 Use Other Build Backends, ✅, When you setup PDM it allows you to select from Hatch; PDM-517 and PDM-core build tools. PDM also can work with Meson-Python which supports move complex python builds.
-Dependency management & lock files ,✅,PDM and Poetry are currently the only tools that support creating dependency lock files. However their default approach to creating lock files is different: Poetry uses an upper bound lock approach `^` by default. <!--Most users won't know what upper bound means--> PDM uses an open lock `>=` approach. Lock files might be most useful to developers creating web apps where locking the environment is critical for consistent user experience.
+Dependency management & lock files ,✅,PDM and Poetry are currently the only tools that support creating dependency lock files. Their default dependency constraint approach to creating lock files is different: Poetry uses a default [upper bound lock](https://python-poetry.org/docs/dependency-specification/#version-constraints) `^`. This means that Poetry will always never bump a dependency to the next major version (ie from 1.2 to 2.0). PDM uses an open lock `>=` approach by default but also allows you to [customize how you want locking constraints to be implemented](https://pdm.fming.dev/latest/usage/dependency/#about-update-strategy). Thus with PDM you can explicitly tell it to lock using upper bounds like Poetry. Or you can tell it to use other strategies. This makes PDM one of the most flexible tools for creating lock files. Lock files are often most useful to developers creating web apps where locking the environment is critical for consistent user experience.
 Select your environment manager of choice (conda; venv; etc),✅ , PDM allows you to select the environment manager that you want to use for managing your package.

 Version Control based versioning,✅ , PDM has a setuptools_scm like tool built into it which allows you to use dynamic versioning that rely on git tags.
 Version bumping, ✅ , PDM supports you bumping the version of your package using standard semantic version terms patch; minor; major
 Follows current packaging standards,✅,PDM supports current packaging standards for adding metadata to the **pyproject.toml** file. It also supports pep 517? dependency management which relies upon a local directory containing a users environment.

 ✨Matrix environment creation to support testing across Python versions✨,✅, The matrix environment creation is a feature that is unique to Hatch in the packaging ecosystem. This feature is useful if you wish to test your package locally across Python versions (instead of using a tool such as tox).
 ✨[Nox / MAKEFILE like functionality](https://hatch.pypa.io/latest/environment/#selection)✨, ✅, This feature is also unique to Hatch. This functionality allows you to create workflows in the **pyproject.toml** configuration to do things like serve docs locally and clean your package build directory.
