version bump means the version number is increased.
Upstream means someone above Gentoo issued a release.
Think of it this way - you have Gentoo who puts the
packages together in ebuilds, etc. but they use someone
else's package. For example, xfce is released by the xfce
people - Gentoo just does an ebuild for it and makes it
available to us. Think of it as a stream flowing with the
people like xfce who make their packages as being upstream
from Gentoo. When someone upstream (like xfce) issues a
new release Gentoo has to include it in portage.
