not very familiar with composer yet

I run composer update on a dev version (thank GOD) but from 8.2.6 drupal was updated to 8.3.0 but some functionality was broken due to the upgrade ... how can I safely run composer update and not upgrade to latest drupal ... or is there some other command I should run instead ?

I understand that I probably have to change the composer.json to do it but I don't quite know what it is that it I need to include in it

Any help would be appeciated

this doc article don't quite explain such a thing

UPDATE

I run the command from eyal composer require drupal/drupal:8.2.* but creates problem and site was unusable after that (received 500 error)

I had to run composer update and now with the 8.3.1 version of drupal the composer update run smoothly. I just needed to run drush up rules-8.x-3.x-dev after that since there was a problem with rules and 8.3.1

EDIT Anyone knows why my question received -2 ? (was I downvoted ? what is the reason ?)

    Run composer require drupal/drupal:8.2.* this would instruct composer to only install minor versions of drupal. – Eyal Apr 6 '17 at 19:23

It depends on the version you specify in the composer.json file. You can specify broad versioning, or exact version, and composer will adhere to that.
