I have just upgraded one of my sites, not the Prod site, the Local one. using a script I have created which contains the command below:

drush dlb backdrop
--2020-05-21 17:45:47--  https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop/releases/download/1.15.3/backdrop.zip

As you can see it downloads version 1.15.3 which is the PREVIOUS Version!!

Downloading from the Link in the Available Updates Page all is well, so the link using Drush must broken.

When I upgraded to 1.16.0 a week or so ago using my  script I had no problems.

Regards to the Team.

@themetman - I don't have a good answer for you, but I can at least provide some content. We've only recently started to provide preview releases of minor releases (in this case 1.18). 

This appears to be a bug in Drush, not anticipating preview releases and knowing that it should not recommend them. 

I suspect, that this will no longer be an issue, once the official release for 1.18 is out in 9 days. 

This does not solve your problem today, but hopefully puts it into context a bit.

I opened an issue in the drush issue queue. I regret to say that you may need to manually update Backdrop until the next version comes out on Jan 15th.

I'm guessing that is this:

as a workaround you can

drush dlb backdrop --select

and choose the latest; this only happens when there are two releases of Backdrop on the same day.

Is there a reason you use `dlb` to upgrade instead of `drush up core`?

Further to myu above comment, I have used the command and it makes upgrading a good bit easier

Thanks you @serundeputy

Sorry back again, @serundeputy, but this time upgrade from 1.17.3 with drush using this:

drush up core

I get this:

Current Backdrop Version:    1.17.3
Proposed Backdrop Version:    1.18.0-preview

I was expecting version 1.17.4

Why is that? I cannot see any way to make it get the security version.
