Request for next alias to match Current / Alpha #25
Description
This is related to #23 which suggests that the latest alias be documented as
latest: pointing to the release with the highest non-prerelease semver, any line except Alpha phase
In this case there is no alias available that points to the highest semver including Alpha releases.
Suggestion
Add an alias such as next that points to the highest semver, including Alpha releases.
During an Alpha phase this would be the Alpha release, and at the end of the Alpha release, this would transition to the same release line in its Current phase.
For example, at the moment, that would mean:
| Node.js | Phase | Status | Alias |
|---|---|---|---|
| v27.0.0-alpha.0.0.0 | Alpha | highest semver | next (suggestion) |
| v26.13.0 | Active LTS | highest non-prerelease semver | latest |
On 2027-04-22 that would converge to:
| Node.js | Phase | Status | Alias |
|---|---|---|---|
| v27.0.0 | Current | highest semver | next (suggestion) |
| v27.0.0 | Current | highest non-prerelease semver | latest |
