Hide alpha versions from npm about local-web-server

[75lb]

which version of npm are you on? as install behaviour changed recently regarding prerelease versions.. https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v3.4.1

i have forcefully set [email protected] to be the latest version on npm.. so this alpha release will no longer be installed unless specifically requested.

thank you for highlighting this 👍

I was on npm 2.7.0. Verified that it installs [email protected] now. Thanks!

good.. incidentally, did you have any issues with the alpha release? feedback welcome..

Yes, when I tried to run the alpha4 I got this error

$ ws
module.js:340
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module 'ansi-escape-sequences'

jeez.. i didn't spot this as npm3 doesn't throw or flag the module as missing.. fixed in 1.0.0-alpha.7, thanks..
