bug: asdf latest ruby no longer returns the latest stable standard version

[farski]

Describe the Bug

Previously, running something like asdf latest ruby would return the latest stable version of the standard flavor or Ruby. Now it seems to return the last item available in asdf list all ruby , which is unlikely what most people would expect.

Steps to Reproduce

Run asdf latest ruby

Expected Behaviour

Should return 3.4.1

Actual Behaviour

Returns truffleruby+graalvm-24.1.2

Same applies to the elixir plugin, see: asdf-vm/asdf-elixir#135

Similar issue with python as well: asdf-community/asdf-python#191

Any updates on this? What is a safe asdf release to downgrade to?

[Stratus3D]

Thanks for the report @farski. I will trying to find the cause of this sometime this week.

yeah can confirm this changed with the 0.16.0 release for all my plugins. It's definitely a regression error. Not sure what the fix is though. For the most part the 0.16.x asdf update has caused me nothing but grief. Of note is I think they rewrote 0.16 into Go so maybe this is a "how Go parses SemVer" error? 🤷🏻

Probably shouldn't turn this into a complaints ticket, but can confirm that the upgrade did not go smoothly at all for me either.
