show new version even if changelog is not available

It actually is possible to see the version in the confirmation dialog by pressing show details.

Thanks for your suggestion! Confirming, but it needs a bug triager to mark it as wishlist.

Thanks, this is indeed a useful feature, I fixed it in bzr and it will be part of the next (karmic) upload.

Suggestions for a better text are welcome, but I would like to keep the property that the versions are displayed in two lines so that its easy for the eye to compare them.

It wasn't at all clear to me that those were the current and new
versions. How about

from: %s
  to: %s

It may be a bit hard to make them line up, unless gtk perhaps aligns
properly on \t characters.

Thanks for fixing it though!

The other option would be to put them in the actual list next to the size.

  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgrade.cfg:
    - remove obsolete kubuntu-kde4-desktop meta package
  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeCache.py:
    - when guessing missing meta-packages stop after
      the first one was found
    - use internal _lookupPkgRecord() instead of
      pkg._lookupRecord
  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeQuirks.py:
    - move the kubuntu-kde4-desktop key dependency transition
      detection to the from_hardy quirks handler (LP: #368459)
  * UpdateManager/Core/MyCache.py:
    - always disable version number range of the changes in the
      details (LP: #251349)

  * DistUpgrade/xorg_fix_proprietary.py:
    - better comment when explaining why stuff got commented out
      (LP: #300504)
  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeController.py:

      and downloadability of the BaseMetaPkgs and abort if that
      is not the case (thanks to Ulrich Kalkkuhl) LP: #370062
  * UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py:
    - show origin field for other updates (like PPAs) to make it
      easier to see what comes from where (part of the
      foundations-karmic-apturl-policy spec)
