For bitcoin, the release page:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/releases
I can get github release rss seed by append ".atom" on it
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/releases.atom
But this will include pre release tags.
How can I get latest release tag only?

Pre-releases are listed in the releases.atom feed, but they are not marked as pre-releases (no way to separate a pre-release from a final release as far as I can tell).
This information is instead available from the GitHub API.
you'll have to resort to the API.
unbelievable that such an essential feature is missing from the Atom feeds
May I suggest lastversion?
The lastversion utility is actually capable of detecting pre-releases from GitHub atom feeds alone, by looking at beta version identifiers in the tags.
It does use API as well for attempting to try returning more data from a release.
