I just got the message below. I suspect it announces the release
of a new version, but the wording gives that so much importance
that it is more befitting a new package than a new version.
If it said
There is a new version of Soap-Client, version 3.1.3
in GNU ELPA.
it would avoid giving the wrong impression.
