title: Anaconda won't update spyder although there's a new version
body: <p>Spyder just notified me that a new version (3.1.4) is available and should be installed. However, Anaconda thinks that version 3.1.3 is the newest version, so I can't update through Anaconda. I tried two ways of updating through Anaconda:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>In Anaconda Navigator, when I click on the gear icon to the top right of the Spyder icon, 'Update application' is grayed out.</li>
  <li><p>In Anaconda Prompt, I typed <code>conda update spyder</code> and got the following output:</p>
  
  <pre><code>\# All requested packages already installed.
  \# packages in environment at C:\Python27\Anaconda2:
  \#
  spyder                    3.1.3                    py27_0
  </code></pre></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Why does this happen? Anybody dealt with this before? Can I expect Anaconda to recognize the new update in a few days? Will it at least notice when 3.1.5 comes out? Is there a way to update spyder without bypassing Anaconda?</p>
  
  <p>Some extra info:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>According to the Python package index, Spyder 3.1.4 was uploaded on April 24.</li>
  <li>I also tried <code>conda update conda</code> which told me I'm already running the latest version of Anaconda: 4.3.16</li>
  </ul>
