I have executed "pod outdated" for my project. This is the output:

Analyzing dependencies
The following pod updates are available:
- Kingfisher 4.0.0 -> 4.0.0 (latest version 4.2.0)
- Lokalise 0.7.0 -> 0.7.0 (latest version 0.7.1)
- LokaliseLiveEdit 0.2.2 -> 0.2.2 (latest version 0.2.3)
- Realm 3.0.0 -> 3.0.0 (latest version 3.0.2)
- RealmSwift 3.0.0 -> 3.0.0 (latest version 3.0.2)
- SwiftLint 0.23.0 -> 0.23.0 (latest version 0.24.0)
- SwiftyJSON 3.1.4 -> 3.1.4 (latest version 4.0.0)
- Tabman 1.0.6 -> 1.0.6 (latest version 1.0.7)

What is the meaning of the version numbers which are presented three times per line?

In general, this is the scheme of a line of pod outdated's output:

- <pod name> <current version> -> <latest version (with restrictions)> (latest version <latest version (without restrictions)>)

The first version number (before the arrow) is the current version of a Pod.

The second number (after the arrow) is the latest available version according to the restrictions in your Podfile.

The third version number (inside the brackets, after "latest version") is the latest available version without the personal restrictions.

From CocoaPods Guides:

When you run pod outdated, CocoaPods will list all pods which have newer versions than the ones listed in the Podfile.lock (the versions currently installed for each pod). This means that if you run pod update PODNAME on those pods, they will be updated — as long as the new version still matches the restrictions like pod 'MyPod', '~>x.y' set in your Podfile.
