Specifying the version to update a module doesn't work in d7. [#1149284]

I get the following output:

> drush up media-7.x-1.x-dev
Refreshing update status information ...
Done.

No code updates available.                                                                                                                                                        [ok]

I'm not using git to handle packages, just svn for version control (which seems to work as expected when downloading or updating modules). It seems like whenever there's a new recommended release, drush is able to update the module without an issue. But when I want to specify the version that I want drush to update to, it doesn't work anymore (it used to work back before D7 was released).

7.x-1.0-beta4 is the latest supported release (see drush pm-releases media), so drush up won't update to 7.x-1.x-dev, you can "update" by dl'ing the release you want. In that case, when a new version of 7.x-1.x-dev is available, drush up will show a line like:
Media 7.x-1.x-dev 7.x-1.x-dev Update available

That said, I've fixed a regresion we did introduce time back: it was converting dashes to underscores so media-7.x-beta3 was media_7.x_beta3. This problem is not present in 4.x series. http://drupalcode.org/project/drush.git/commit/66c2bcb

Also found other problem: if you have installed devel-6.x-1.20 and latest available version is devel-6.x-1.24 it is possible to specify drush up devel-6.x-1.22 and drush will update to this intermediate version.
I've realized it doesn't work in d7: it seems update.module now doesn't load the list of all available releases. Looking further into this. I also wonder what's going on with --security-only flag.

Drush used to be able to handle "updating" to any version of the module (or at least I thought that was what it was doing). I thought I could use the syntax I showed (*-7.x-*.*) to update a module to any official release version. I thought I even remembered drush rolling the db updates up and down. Was I misunderstanding what was happening? It sounds like (from what you said) that drush is not supposed to work like that.

I was to say that media-7.x.1-x-dev is not a supported release but you're right @idlewilder. The problem is the same I describe in 2nd paragraph of #2.

Problem is that http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules--update--update.compare.inc/fun... strips all the releases but the recommended one and we need all of them for this to work.

It is already fixed in master.
