> If you want to include pre-releases and snapshots, use the following markdown code what exactly is considered as pre-release in badge URL code? I cannot find documentation about this For example this version https://clojars.org/com.github.strojure/ring-lib/versions/1.2.0-44-alpha1 is shown on both badges. Should I deploy alpha version to snapshot server to exclude it from not pre-release badge?
> what exactly is considered as pre-release in badge URL code?
The Clojars code only considers snapshots as pre-release based on this query: https://github.com/clojars/clojars-web/blob/main/resources/queries/queryfile.sql#L468-L472
That drives two values in the API that http://shields.io calls:
• latest_release the most recent non-snapshot version
• latest_version the most recent version, snapshot or not
Looking at the http://shields.io implementation, it uses latest_version for this badge, and uses
latest_release to power the other badge (falling back to latest_version if latest_release isn't set, which is questionable): https://github.com/badges/shields/blob/master/services/clojars/clojars-version.service.js#L41-L47
So that wording is definitely wrong on clojars, and should just be: "If you want to include pre-releases and snapshots, use the following markdown code"

There is not a separate snapshot server/repo; snapshots and non-snapshots share the repo.
