How to check if Gradle dependency has new version?

In Android Studio when I use a + in the version number like:
com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:21.+
I get a “Avoid using + in version numbers” warning.

But when I use a specific version number I can’t always use the latest version. I have a lot of dependencies in my project.

How do I check if a dependency has a newer version?

Is there an Android Studio plugin (or something like that) to notify me when there is a newer version of a dependency?

Edit:
Android Studio highlights the outdated Android Support Libraries and Google play services. But this is not available for other custom libraries.
