Comment (by robe):

 Might be my sed.

 When I tried:


 {{{
 echo "3.7.0alpha" | sed -E 's/(alpha|beta|rc)[[0-9]]*(dev)?$//'

 }}}

 I got this:


 {{{
 3.7.0alpha
 }}}


 I thought * too meant 0 or more, but seems to not be respecting the 0

 However this works:


 {{{
 $ echo "3.7.0alpha" | sed -E 's/(alpha|beta|rc)[0-9]*(dev)?$//'

 }}}

 Gives:

 3.7.0

 What's the purpose of the extra []?
 My sed version is: sed (GNU sed) 4.2.2


 I'd be happy to change it to if that works for you


 {{{
 's/(alpha|beta|rc)[0-9]*(dev)?$//'
 }}}
