Getting latest version fails on certain snapshot names

[Shamus03]

Version 1.8-pre1 was released today, and its name is preventing the program from parsing the latest version correctly. I'm not sure exactly what is going wrong here since I'm not familiar with Perl or JSON.

To reproduce:
Create a server and add the line mscs-version-type=snapshot to its server.properties file and attempt an update.

I'll take a look at this tonight when I get home. There is probably an issue in the regex that reads the versions.json file.

Here is the portion of the code that does the regex:

$PERL -ne 'if ($_ =~ /^\s+\"'$TYPE'\": \"([\w\.]+)\"/) { print $1; }' $JSON

I'm guessing that it should look like:

$PERL -ne 'if ($_ =~ /^\s+\"'$TYPE'\": \"([\w\.\-]+)\"/) { print $1; }' $JSON

Just need to add the \- to the regex for it to recognize the - in the version number.

Although it may be smarter to just simplify the regex to:

$PERL -ne 'if ($_ =~ /^\s+\"'$TYPE'\": \"(.+)\"/) { print $1; }' $JSON

I'll have to run some tests, and my server is currently offline while I'm at work.

That fixes it. I made a pull request.

Thanks for taking care of the patch and testing.
