I had this case with the Gallery assist module:

Installed version: Gallery Assist 6.x-1.x-dev (2010-Nov-27)
Recommended version: 6.x-1.18 (2010-Nov-10)
Latest version: 6.x-1.19-beta2 (2010-Dec-02)
Development version: 6.x-1.x-dev (2010-Nov-27)

I've had set 1.18 to be ignored and it all went fine until today when that I got offered 1.19-b2 as an update. I tried ignoring that version too (I want to be informed only of latest dev versions), but only 1.18 is available in the drop-down menu.

Title: Drop-down menu should offer the latest (by date) version to be ignored - as opposed to the latest stable » Drop-down menu should offer the latest (by date or version) version to be ignored - as opposed to the latest stable- or both

...minor title edit since what I ask can be achieved by comparing version numbers too (I guess).

+ it would be nice if both versions were available as options in the drop-down menu.

PS: I've filed this as a bug instead of a feature request, since the latest version to be ignored is not offered as an option thus, preventing the module from working as intended.

...(by date or version) version...

...was bad to the eye ;)

Title: Drop-down menu should offer the latest release (by date/version number) to be ignored - as opposed to the latest stable- or both » More flexible ignore options for update_advanced
Version: 6.x-1.x-dev » 7.x-1.x-dev
Category: bug » feature
Priority: Normal » Major

Maybe an option like "Focus on -dev versions" could be helpful also for this case?

And/or "Ignore version x and focus on future stable releases".
(which would then subsequently ignore alpha/beta/RC releases)

From the OP:

...I tried ignoring that version too (I want to be informed only of latest dev versions), but only 1.18 is available in the drop-down menu.

...that's why I filed this as a bug in the first place. I realize that looking at the title it seemed as a feature request though ;)

Title: More flexible ignore options for update_advanced » Allow projects with two versions ('Latest' and 'Recommended') to be ignored when using their dev version.

...more descriptive issue title.

More than one and a half year later, I am really surprised that no one else finds this annoying.
