Changes (by DD32):

  * keywords:  plugins plugins-installer => has-patch

Comment:

 > attachment 8868.diff added.
  * If a version is null(not specified), Then the message will not be
 shown, So if a plugin neglects to mention its tested up to value, the "Not
 tested" message will not be shown
  * Same as above, but for the required value
  * It only checks the same length version as the plugin specifies.
    * The version checking is only as specific as the plugins readme
 states:
    * If The plugin specified its tested up to "2.7" then a WP version of
 "2.7.1" will NOT trigger the "not tested" message
    * If The plugin specified a specific version "2.7.1", then a WP version
 of "2.7.2" WILL trigger the "not tested" message
  * Slight change to the bolding of the required message (bold the phrase
 rather than the "compatible" word)

  * String changes to reflect more closely the nature of the update are not
 in this patch, I'll leave it open for discussion of what the appropriate
 phrasing would be.
