"Latest" shows as "dev-master" with "minimum-stability: dev" about silverstripe-maintenance HOT 3 OPEN

Maybe that would be an opportunity for a small patch provided back to the composer project, introducing a composer outdated --minimum-stability override?

The data we show in this report is essentially just a proxy for composer outdated. We haven't built in any layers of customisation yet, but we can definitely do that. If you take minimum-stability: dev out of your composer.json you might get different results (I realise that you're probably using an out-of-the-box CWP install to test this with)

Good point. Looks like composer outdated doesn't have any switches like --stable-only (https://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#outdated). But looking at our installers, both the CWP and core one have minimum-stability: dev. So the "latest" column is effectively useless at the moment, unless projects remove that constraint. Which I believe very few people do, because it's usually not realistic. We might as well hide it until we create our own logic to determne "latest stable". This is particularly bad since it won't show people on CWP 1.x that CWP 2.x even exists, right? It'll just show dev-master everywhere, which doesn't help the decision makers which this module targets. /cc @brynwhyman
