Unstable badge displays old 0.2.0-beta2 release instead of 0.3.x-dev branch

Package: https://packagist.org/packages/rob006/flarum-lang-polish

I would expect that unstable badge will show 0.3.x-dev branch and I'm pretty sure it worked in that way some time ago.

https://packagist.org/packages/rob006/flarum-lang-polish.json - while branch alias for dev-master is set as 0.3.x-dev, version is not normalized:

"version":"dev-master",
"version_normalized":"dev-master"

0.3.x-dev is also not listed in list of versions, only dev-master is available.

@rob006 exactly! :(

It works fine for Symfony: , while it is pretty similar situation. So it looks like it does not entirely depends on version_normalized. Could this different behavior between my package and Symony be related to v prefix in tags names?

[rob006]

dev-master has now "default-branch":true in package JSON - I guess it should be used to internally normalize this branch to 9999999-dev (this is how Packagist handles it - default branch is always treated as the newest) and keep old behavior for dev-master branch.

@rob006 maybe it's related to this: badges/poser#26 (comment)?

[rob006]

Yeah, it refers to changes described in the same blog post. Previously dev-master was normalized to 9999999-dev (which make it always the latest unstable branch), now it is not normalized at all and dev-master is returned as version_normalized.

Packagist fixed versions ordering on their website, but API response has not been changed: composer/packagist@d313cb8. I guess that Badge-Poser should use similar solution to handle edge cases like https://packagist.org/packages/friendsofphp/php-cs-fixer correctly.
