[julia-users] Re: Pkg.update() does not pull latest version?

[Tony Kelman]

0.5.0-pre is actually strictly greater than 0.5.0-dev. Packages currently can't 
have extra build information like that unless you tag non-semver releases in 
metadata. They're either at a tag, between tags, or at more recent point than 
the latest tag. I think a format that has more annotations in it than the 
current require files, something like an optional allow_prereleases entry in a 
toml file.
