Installation also doesn't work for versions like 3.0.0-beta.4 (with a dot between beta and 4).

[sebastianheuer]

This has been fixed in phar-io/version 2.0.0. The next release of Phive will use this version.

While comparing alpha and beta versions will work as expected, it may not be desirable to install pre-release versions of tools unless explicitly requested. This has not been addressed yet.

[filips123]

When will be next release published?

Closing this.

Support for a given stability level will be tracked in it's own ticket: #154
