List all available versions of a specific package in NuGet Package Manager Console

What NuGet PowerShell command will return a list of all versions of a specific package?

I have tried the following, but it only returns one version of NUnit along with a number of other (un)related packages, each having only one version.

Get-Package -Source https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=206669 -ListAvailable -Filter NUnit -AllVersions

Note: I specify the source URI because we have our own internal package source as our default remote.

My understanding is that the -AllVersions switch should pull back every version of each matching package.

I can't seem to figure out:

  1. Am I doing it wrong?
  2. If not, are project maintainers (or someone else) removing older versions from the package source?
  3. If they are, why?
nuget powershell

To extend on the already provided solutions and address the follow-up questions by King King and JohnKoz, it is possible to get the full list of versions for a specific package as follows:

Find-Package -AllVersions -source https://nuget.org/api/v2/ Newtonsoft.Json -ExactMatch | foreach { $_.Versions } | Select-Object Version

The package Newtonsoft.Json is an example. Replace it as needed.

It works by first getting all versions for a single package (via -ExactMatch). This returns a package object that has a Versions property, which is an array of version objects. The foreach iterates over all these and the Select-Object ensures that each version object is output as a single line (by only selecting its main property).
