By default, Renovate won't update any package versions to unstable versions (e.g. `4.0.0-rc3`) unless the current version has the same `major.minor.patch` and was _already_ unstable (e.g. it was already on `4.0.0-rc2`).
Renovate will also not "jump" unstable versions automatically, e.g. if you are on `4.0.0-rc2` and newer versions `4.0.0` and `4.1.0-alpha.1` exist then Renovate will update you to `4.0.0` only.
If you need to force permanent unstable updates for a package, you can add a package rule setting `ignoreUnstable` to `false`.
In that case you will usually also want to set `respectLatest` to `false` so that Renovate considers versions ahead of `latest`.

Also check out the `followTag` configuration option above if you wish Renovate to keep you pinned to a particular release tag.
