VCPKG: list available versions of a package

For example, how can I list available GDAL library versions ?
They are not listed on VCPKG packages website neither by vcpkg search gdalcommand.

Try this! it is a quick fix until vcpkg supports pkgs version listing. https://github.com/hamaney/vcpkg_version_finder.

on a related note: to look up a package by name and get the latest available version of it use vcpkg search <pkg name>

UPDATE SEP-11-2021: I just found out that you can use the experimental flag x-history. for example vcpkg x-history <pkg name> (you might need an internet connection the first time you run this command).

UPDATE JAN-01-2024: The x-history option is no longer available.

You can use https://vcpkg.link/ in order to find all the versions of a package and when it got released (e.g. https://vcpkg.link/ports/gdal/versions for gdal). Besides, you can also see from which version a given feature has been introduced by looking at the overview of a package.
