Description Erik Ekman 2003-06-07 03:49:52 UTC
If a stable ebuild has a newer unmasked version, i suggest showing that 
version number as well. Example:

*  media-libs/libgd
      Latest version available: 1.8.3-r6 (Unstable: 2.0.12)
      Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ]
      Size of downloaded files: 267 kB
      Homepage:    http://www.boutell.com/gd/
      Description: A graphics library for fast image creation

By showing the highest unstable version when searching, it is easier to see 
if there is a large version bump coming soon. It can also be interesting to 
see haw many revisions behind the stable versions are.

Reproducible: Always
