What does the star represent?

[Keith Roberts]

I noticed this to. I use SuSE 9.2 on my laptop and main 
machine.

I updated SPM to the latest version 0.42 on my main machine, 
and noticed the stars had disappeared too.

On my laptpop the stars where still showing in SPM.

After updating the laptop to 0.42 the stars disappeared 
from there as well.

If they were an indicator to some sort of new packages 
available, it would be nice to have them back. Or possibly 
one type of icon for a new package that SPM has found that 
is not currently installed on your system. And another type 
of icon to indicate newly available patches or updates to 
currently installed software.
