As a devonfw-ide user, I usually want to get stable versions of tools so that I do not end up with bugs and being early adopter.
In devonfw-ide we have support for version prefixes (see #893 and #1112).
However, in IDEasy, we have implemented a more advanced version pattern matching that can distinguish between "latest stable version" and "latest version including unstable".
We also need to implement this feature in devonfw-ide.
Otherwise adding latest alpha/beta versions to ide-urls cannot be done (as then projects will end up getting these alpha versions by accident) and users are blocked from using such versions at all even if they explicitly want or need this. See https://github.com/devonfw/IDEasy/issues/138 as an example.
