Issue Summary
Fantastic module, btw.
Since update does not recognize dev versions, it incorrectly assumes that any dev version is older than an "official" version. It would be nice to have a checkbox to say either, "this module is newer" or "ignore this module"
This feature is needed since update pulls up the red alert boxes whenever it finds an old version. We need to adjust update so it's accurate. Otherwise, it's human nature to start to ignore the red box if one has a dev version of a module.

Actually, for handling this problem, I would prefer a checkbox that simply turned off flagging -dev versions as errors. I am unlikely to want to do this for anything other than -dev versions.
Ideally, of course, version tracking for -dev versions would start happening. It's not impossible. Just use the date code in the form YYYYMMDD as a version number. Then you could be pointed to the download link for the dev version.

There may, however, be some -dev versions you will want to check if you are waiting for a real version to be published; so a per project setting is probably the better way to go.

This is now in -dev and will be in 1.1.
