j5.4.5-rc1 is showing in stable channel

[rogercreagh]

v5.4.4 is showing v5.4.5-rc1 in the dashboard as an available update even when channel option is set to stable

Release Candidates should not show in stable channel

Error in update xml type - it should not be type stable.

more info
This happens specifically when Jupdate is set to default channel and stable and Installer (extensions) is set to development (so that you can pick up extension development updates but not the core joomla development updates which will remain stable only)

In this case if there is an extension update (tagged alpha for example) available and also a Joomla core update (eg 5.4.5-rc1) then both the dashboard and the Jupdate screen will offer the rc joomla update.

If you switch the extension installer to stable then the Joomla rc update will no longer appear - but, of course, neither will the extension development update which you want.

It seems that there is a spurious link between what Jupdate does and what extension installer does.
