cocoapods

After running pod outdated, I get the following output

Updating spec repo `master`
Analyzing dependencies
The following pod updates are available:
- AFNetworking 2.4.4 -> 2.5.4 (latest version 3.0.0-beta.2)
- HexColors 2.2.1 -> 2.2.1 (latest version 3.0.0)
- Overcoat 3.0.0 -> (unused) (latest version 3.2.1)
- ReactiveCocoa 2.5 -> 2.5 (latest version 4.0.4-alpha-4)

I have not seen this "unused" term before

i.e.

Overcoat 3.0.0 ->(unused) (latest version 3.2.1)

What is this? And what does it mean?

After analyzing the source code, I think that (unused) means that the Pod is not in your Podfile (probably you removed it and didn't reinstall)

AFNetworking     2.4.4    ->      2.5.4            (latest version 3.0.0-beta.2)
