Creating a drupal-composer/drupal-project gave me an outdated version of core When I ran 

composer create-project drupal-composer/drupal-project:8.x-dev mysite --no-interaction


it installed drupal/core:8.8.0-alpha1.  Then to see what was wrong, I ran

composer prohibits drupal/core:8.8.5


and the output was

drupal/core-dev 8.8.0-alpha1 requires drupal/core (self.version)                             
drupal/core 8.8.5 requires zendframework/zend-diactoros (^1.8)      
drupal-composer/drupal-project dev-master does not require  zendframework/zend-diactoros (but 1.7.2 is installed)


What should I do next to get the most recent stable version? 
Was I supposed to run composer create-project drupal-composer/drupal=project:8.8.5?
Installed Drupal using this instead: composer create-project Drupal/recommended-project mysite and everything is current and correct.
