Comment (by yasirkhalifa):

 Hello,

 I have attached a patch to improve the readability of the plugin update
 notice displayed on the Plugins admin page (wp-admin/plugins.php).

 Currently, when an update is available, the notice appears like this:

 There is a new version of MailerPress available. View version 1.5.1
 details or update now.

 In this message, the plugin name is not visually emphasized, which can
 make it slightly harder to quickly identify the plugin when multiple
 updates are listed.

 **Proposed Improvement
 **
 This patch wraps the plugin name in a <strong> tag so it appears bold,
 improving visibility and consistency with other admin UI emphasis
 patterns.

 **Example after change:
 **
 There is a new version of MailerPress available. View version 1.5.1
 details or update now.

 **Benefits**

 Improves readability in the Plugins list.

 Makes the plugin name easier to identify.

 Small UI enhancement with no functional impact.

 **Testing**

 Install a plugin with an available update.

 Go to Dashboard → Plugins.

 Observe the update notice below the plugin row.

 After applying the patch, the plugin name appears in bold.

 **Patch**

 Patch attached with this comment.

 Thank you for reviewing this enhancement.
