The "Latest Drupal Core Releases Block" is totally outdated as it obviously doesn't evaluate the actual releases. Even the latest dev release says:

  • 5.x: old stable Drupal version - supported
  • 6.x: current stable Drupal version
  • 7.x: development version - not supported

This is total bogus; correct would be:

  • D5 is unsupported
  • D6 is still supported
  • D7 is the current stable Drupal version
  • D8 is the current development version

As it is, the "Latest Drupal Core Releases Block" is total nonsense as is does not display the Latest Drupal Core Releases.

Thanks for the patch Marco, but I believe it is not really feasible to hardcode status information into the module because it's already in the packages if you query for the API version (e.g. http://updates.drupal.org/release-history/drupal/8.x). Wouldn't it be better to use the packaging data, like 'Update Status' or 'Drush' does? Example:

# drush rl drupal
------- RELEASES FOR 'DRUPAL' PROJECT -------
 Release         Date         Status                            
 6.x-dev         2011-Nov-23  Development                       
 6.22            2011-May-25  Supported, Recommended
 6.21            2011-May-25  Security
...
 7.x-dev         2011-Dec-06  Development                         
 7.10            2011-Dec-05  Supported, Recommended
 7.5             2011-Jul-27  Security

This would turn around the logic a bit, but should always show which release is current and supported, which security updates are available, and where the development is taking place. What do you think?
