Updating gradle dependencies

So now that we've added butterknife 6.whatever... Does that mean I'll have to remember to update the "compile..." line every so often when a new version of butterknife or Okhttp is available?

Is it best practice to check gradle dependencies every so often?

Personally I wouldn't worry about checking for updates. You build your app around a dependency of butterknife 6. My thought is that unless there is a major bug in that specific version, why risk an update that could potentially break your app.
