New option --force-latest, downgrade an alpha/beta/prerelease application from github, use the stable version and get updates only from "releases/latest".
Typically the installation scripts are directed to "releases" to allow downloading of the latest build available for GNU/Linux, if the developer has not uploaded one for the latest stable release.
USAGE (one app for time):
am --force-latest $PROGRAM
or
appman --force-latest $PROGRAM
This option searches for and replaces "releases" with "releases/latest" in the AM-updater script and launches the AM/AppMan command with the -u $PROGRAM option, so you can downgrade the app via update.
Furthermore, the AM-updater will always update only from "releases/latest"... hoping that the developer continues to develop for GNU/Linux or, in the case of AppImages, continues to build them, keeping the AppImage format alive, by supporting its existence (this is the true reason I whote "AM"/AppMan, afterall).
