@timja remove selection 😉

dependencyUpdates {
  def isNonStable = { String version ->
    def stableKeyword = ['RELEASE', 'FINAL', 'GA'].any { qualifier -> version.toUpperCase().contains(qualifier) }
    def regex = /^[0-9,.v-]+$/
    return !stableKeyword && !(version ==~ regex)
  }
  rejectVersionIf {
    return isNonStable(it.candidate.version) && !isNonStable(it.currentVersion)
  }
}

Closing, thanks for the doc fix.
