Plugin Compatibility Fails to Consider Future RC Versions

Description

Now that 2.9 is out, anyone still running 2.9-RC is going to be confronted with something like this in the Upgrade screen:

qTranslate
You are running version 2.5. Upgrade to 2.5.3.
Compatibility with WordPress 2.9: 0% (0 "works" votes out of 4 total)
Compatibility with WordPress 2.9: 0% (0 "works" votes out of 4 total)

Yikes. That doesn't look right...

See ​http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.9/wp-admin/update-core.php#L189

$compat = '<br />' . sprintf(__('Compatibility with WordPress ...

and ​http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.9/wp-admin/update-core.php#L197

$compat .= '<br />' . sprintf(__('Compatibility with WordPress ...

Don't display plugin compatibility info if the new WordPress version is the same as the current one. For example for RC/Beta upgrades.

What is wrong here.

If you look at WordPress.org the compatibility for qTranslate currently says:

Broken :(
0 people say it works.
5 people say it's broken.

What were you expecting it to say?

It is not compatible with your current version of WordPress or the one available for upgrade too.

Compatibility with WordPress 2.9: 0% (0 "works" votes out of 4 total)

Where, The first line is the Current version of WordPress, and the 2nd line is the Upgrade version. The result is 2 lines which look identical when Current === Upgrade version.

Ok. So the nub of the issue is if the information returned by the Core Update API says that the latest version is a.b and you are running a pre-release version of a.b e.g. a.b-beta1 or a.b.-rc1 then you will see two messages.

The normal intention is to show compatibility with the current version versus compatibility with the version you are upgrading to.

For example if I hack my WordPress to think it is 2.8 even though it is 2.9 I see:

You are running version 2.5. Upgrade to 2.5.3.
Compatibility with WordPress 2.8: 100% (according to its author)
Compatibility with WordPress 2.9: 0% (0 "works" votes out of 6 total)

I will attach a patch which fixes this for me.

Looks good. Does this needed to be future-proofed against 'beta' or 'RC' sneaking into get_core_updates()->current ?

#6 @ryan

Only final releases will show in get_core_updates().
