I've moved from updating plugins automatically (immediately) to updating once each Monday. However, Ideally I'd like to avoid plugin updates that just became available on that same Monday. Currently you have to click "View changelog" for each update in order to find out if it's a new or old update. There are various ways this could be improved... When on the Bulk Management page, looking at plugins, and "Update available" tab, the "Status" column which shows "Update Available" could show the date the update became available, or how many days ago it became available ("Today", "3 days ago" etc). The column could be renamed to "Date" and be sortable.
