Meh, noticed some more errors.

As I said few times, GNOME versioning process doesn't apply to gtk-doc
and libsecret. Both have newer versions available (odd minor number, but
they don't have any bugfix releases - micro versions).

gnome-keyring version reads 3.6.x, but there are 3.8.x ones available.

network-manager-applet reads wrong version, too. For this one release
process is same as for NetworkManager, unstable release numbers end with
.9xx. GNOME versioning doesn't apply to it.
