Body

Some package has their beta, experimental, or other non-stable versions.
For example, react has rc, beta, next, canary, and experimental versions.

It's hard to find a non-latest stable version.

So, is it possible to add a way only to show the stable versions?

Currently, npmjs.com does not have a built-in filter to show only stable versions of a package. On the versions tab, all releases—including beta, release candidates (rc), next, canary, or experimental versions—are listed together, so it can be hard to pick a stable version.

As a workaround, you can:

1. Check the semver tag: Stable versions usually follow x.y.z without suffixes like -beta, -rc, or -next.
2. Use the CLI: Run npm view react versions --json and filter manually for versions that don’t contain - in the name.
3. Check GitHub releases: Many packages list stable releases separately in their GitHub repository under “Releases.”

A feature to filter only stable versions would be useful, but it’s not currently available on npmjs.com.
