Stop prepending "Maven Central" versions with "v"

[cstamas]

Are you experiencing an issue with...

shields.io

🐞 Description

It is misleading, as there are artifacts that have versions like "v1.2.3" (version starts with letter "v"), so shield would show "vv1.2.3". Just leave the blue field "as is" (verbatim as version is).

Just drop the prepended "v" from version in blue field.

The prefix v is already conditional. See https://github.com/badges/shields/blob/1809d1ebbc8ed5ec2b07070c2c5c013886e4bf3f/services/version.js#L259 and https://github.com/badges/shields/blob/1809d1ebbc8ed5ec2b07070c2c5c013886e4bf3f/services/text-formatters.js#L134.

Whatever, by by default the version should not be "v" prefixed. This is wrong, and actually the opposite that should be: If I want "v" prefix, I'd need to turn something ON, and not turn OFF to lose some prefix being automatically added.

Agree, it has not benefit or purpose because it constantly repeats.
