Pre-Release Versions Included in display-dependency-updates #1491
Description
Plugin version
versions:2.25.1
JDK and Maven version
Apache Maven 3.10.0 (c43a36b8d67be7e0805a411bc0898af1a51f5472); Java version: 25.0.5, vendor: Eclipse Adoptium, runtime: C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium\jdk-25.0.5.8-hotspot; OS name: "windows 11", version: "10.0", arch: "amd64", family: "windows"
What did you expect to happen?
I am using Versions Maven Plugin with its default configuration to view dependency updates using versions:display-dependency-updates. As of version 2.25.0 I expect pre-release versions of dependencies to not be included in the output.
What happened instead?
Pre-release versions of dependencies are included in the output, regardless of whether I leave allowPreReleases as its default value, set it to true, or set it to false.
