Get a module version for a list of modules
Mr. H does not want to actually download or install the relevant modules, he only wants to get a list with the latest recommended D7.x version.


Well, at the very least, you can do:

drush @site.env up module_name --select for individual modules, you can also do:

drush @site.env pm-releases which has a load of options for output.

It has format options.
