I have a site with Diff 5.x-1.1 installed. Diff 5.x-2.0 is out.

Today, when I checked update status with Update Status 2.2, it should have made the Diff row red and advised me to upgrade. Instead, the row stayed green, indicated Diff 1.1 is "Up to date", and it showed these two:
Latest version: 5.x-1.2-rc1 (2008-Feb-09) Download · Release notes
Also available: 5.x-2.0 (2008-Mar-14) Download · Release notes

Today is March 16.

I verified the settings, and all the modules have "Always" selected in the "Warn if out of date" column.

Looks to be working properly. (Assuming diff 5.x-2.x was only marked recommended after the last update of the update status xml files.)

New versions of a module on:
- the same branch with an '-extra' are listed as 'latest version'.
- the same branch without an '-extra' are listed as an error.
- a higher branch is listed as 'also available'.
- a lower branch is ignored.

Using the 'recommended' branch, list higher branches as 'also available'.
Using a 'supported' branch (> recommended), ignore the lower branch.
Using a 'supported' branch (< recommended), warning for the newer branch.

FYI that the latest Diff is not reporting as a recommended module in Update Status.

This belongs in the update_status issue queue.

I may be wrong about the current handling of supported (not recommended) releases. I'll let dww clarify the situation.

I'm also seeing this. I'm using the DRUPAL-5 branch of Diff and Update Status says that the 5.x-1.1 version is recommended, 5.x-1.2rc1 is the newest version and 5.x-2.0 is also available.

http://drupal.org/project/diff says 2.0 is "recommended."

See #208766: Latest release from maintainer's recommended branch called "Also available", not "Recommended" for why.
It's not ideal, but there's really nothing I can do about it given the string freeze in core. :(

Is "By Design" an accurate status? If the string freeze goes away, wouldn't this be an active bug?
