Pre release version is ignored by semver.maxSatisfying

[guptar8jan]

I am using maxSatisfying method with following parameters:
const versions = [ '1.0.0',
'1.0.1',
'1.0.2',
'1.0.3',
'1.0.4',
'1.1.2',
'1.1.6',
'1.1.7',
'1.1.8',
'1.1.9',
'2.0.4',
'2.1.7',
'2.1.8-alpha.1' ]
semver.maxSatisfying(versions, '*', true)

RESULT: '2.1.7'

I am expecting '2.1.8-alpha.1'.

I believe this is a bug. I traced to down to this line of code https://github.com/npm/node-semver/blob/master/semver.js#L1124. I believe replace CONTINUE, with 'return true' would makes sense. Please advice.

Working as intended. https://github.com/npm/node-semver#prerelease-tags

Pre-release tags are strictly opt-in.
