Description

:clipboard: Description

When a conda channel has labels, the latest_version doesn't need to match the last version in the versions list. I propose that there be a new badge for conda like:

https://img.shields.io/conda/vln/:channel/:package.svg

channel | v0.4.0a0

:link: Data

Same public Anaconda Cloud API that is already used for the other conda badges: https://api.anaconda.org/package/{channel}/{package} example: https://api.anaconda.org/package/pyviz/panel

The part to use would be the last item in versions: package.versions[package.versions.length - 1];

:microphone: Motivation

I am building a status dashboard for the pyviz project and we publish dev releases to pyviz/label/dev.

Research direction
Look at the existing conda badge implementation in the shields.io codebase. The API for conda labelled channels is the same as for regular conda badges but the version should be taken from the last item in the versions array. Review existing badge services for reference on how to add a new endpoint. Check the file `server.js` or similar for route registration.
