latest version in bower is 0.5.0 about backbone.virtualcollection HOT 4 CLOSED

That's weird. 0.5 is not even released yet. To be honest I'm not very familiar with the bower ecosystem, as I've never used it myself. PRs welcome.

I'm no bower expert either, but..
Your bower.json file references 0.4.15, which if 0.5.0 is not released should be correct.
My guess is that either 0.5.0 was registered with bower and this doesn't match the bower.json file, or seeing as 0.4.15 is not an available tag (as far as I can see), it's grabbing 0.5.0 for some reason.
Possibly not something that can be sent as a PR.

To get the current master you can tell bower to grab the specific commit, assuming this commit is what should be tagged as 0.4.15, eg:
bower install https://github.com/p3drosola/Backbone.VirtualCollection.git#f4999b17587047e891dc4894c4a35fe306b11c34

I'm not a super bower expert either, but...

Bower's registry seems to automatically get new versions from github tabs. And there is a v0.5.0 tag (8bcf859), so I guess that is enough to be a "release" as far as bower is concerned.

But confusingly, github doesn't list that tag at Backbone.VirtualCollection/tags or Backbone.VirtualCollection/releases, I don't know why not. Despite that, according to according to VersionEye, bower is using Backbone.VirtualCollection/zipball/v0.5.0 and indeed that link works and the contents are the same as what I get from bower install.

Anyway, what to do about it...?

Apparently it's possible to unregister a package entirely, as per the instructions at http://bower.io/docs/creating-packages/#unregister but I haven't seen instructions for how to yank a specific version.

However, those instructions do say that for manual intervention you can make a request at bower/bower#120 -- perhaps that's the thing to do so they can take care of it? They seem to prefer that the repo owner or collaborator be the one to post the request.

Ok, I've tagged 0.4.15 properly, and removed the 0.5.0 tag, and bower seems to have detected it. Thanks for you help guys.
