Is there a way to not report beta version as available major version upgrade?

We use rush and pnpm to manage our mono-repo. We check the output of pnpm install to find out the available major version upgrades then use automation to create work items for each of those.

We found that at some point of time, pnpm reports that fast-xml-parser has a major version of v 4.0.0 available when we were using v3. However, at that time, only 4.0.0-beta.* versions are published to npmjs. A stable version hadn't been released yet.

Is there a way to only check for upgrades that are stable versions?

In the installation summary, pnpm shows any version that is under the "latest" dist-tag. So probably 4.0.0-beta.* was published as "latest" for fast-xml-parser.

There is no way to change this behavior. I am also not sure this reporting should be configurable. But we can make the behavior of pnpm outdated more configurable.
