How can I determine:

the latest stable Julia version

the latest Julia release

the latest Julia pre-release

on github?

I can do:

ufechner@ufryzen:~$ juliaup list | grep release
 release              1.11.4+0.x64.linux.gnu
 release~x64          1.11.4+0.x64.linux.gnu
 release~x86          1.11.4+0.x86.linux.gnu

which is already nice, but I don’t have the version number string yet.

I cannot do:

juliaup list | grep pre

This gives me only version 0.6 as pre-release.
