Yes, but this is not only JS dependent, in PHP (composer) is the same.

Normally old major or minor packages don't get an update, only the latest.

E.g. 4.1.47 (no update), 4.2.1 (yes got update).

So if the problem is in 4.1 you must "upgrade" to 4.2.

With "perfect" semver, this shouldn't be a problem, cause 4.2 only add new features... but... back to reality, the world is not perfect.
