show in pubspec.yaml when newer versions of a package are available

Would be nice to have a feature simliar to that in Android Studio for build.gradle files, where any dependency library listed that has a newer version would have some sort of syntax highlighting to show there is a newer version of the package available that matches the version rules, basically what would be installed if pub upgrade was run.

I currently use Pubspec Assist VSCode extension to see if newer package version is available in pubspec.yaml. It has code lens for pubspec.yaml files which shows latest package versions and allows single-click upgrade to latest version like this:

However, the indication that package has newer versions is not quite clear, just gray code lens text. I have some ideas about how this feature might be improved if added to Dart Code:

• show colorful code lens texts
• adding a command to upgrade all dependencies to “latest”.

Hope this will be helpful.

@fisforfaheem the comment above yours is showing another VS Code extension (Pubspec Assist) and not this one. If that extension is not working for you, please file an issue in their repository at https://github.com/jeroen-meijer/pubspec-assist.
