Published X days ago. Dosn't clearly say that it is a new version.

The title here showing the latest version publish date is showing only 'Publish x days ago' not 'New version published x days ago' or 'Published x.x.x 5 days ago' for better understanding. This seems like a minor finding but this was a real experience, when i really choose a package i want to know how matured the package is. So in that case this might give more clarity i think.

Note: Here the package is built_value, this isn't about built_value.

@abinvs-2019: I'd like to understand why you think a change here is important: could you expand a bit on this?

Are you looking for the overall duration since the package's first version was published? Would it help if you knew that built_value's first version (0.0.1) was published 9 years ago? Is it useful in any way?

Wouldn't the other proxy values (e.g. download counts) reflect on the "maturity" of a package better? E.g. if you look at a newly published package, its download count is negligible.

@isoos i am not looking to show the first version release time, actually bit confusing to see 'Publish x days ago' which says this package is published x days ago, but actually it refers to the latest release date of that package, not the actual publish date. if we could see the version number along with that, i think that might help a bit like 'Published x.x.x(version) x days ago'. Still i don't think this as a bigger issue but could be enhanced.

but actually it refers to the latest release date of that package, not the actual publish date

I'm confused by this, as it always refers to the date that the specific version you are looking at was published. If you go to a different version, we will display the publish date of that version, and also the link to the latest version:

Closing, as I don't see any actionable item here.
