Sergei Ivanov commented on MNG-3092:
------------------------------------
Well, at the moment releasing a large cross-cutting change requires some
self-discipline, because Maven is not really helping us there. The only
safeguard we have is a release CI build that will reject any incompatible
changes that rely on the latest snapshots. But working with snapshots locally
is often the only way to test a large change before slowly committing the
changes in the dependency order and feeding them into the release process.
> resolution of version ranges with non-snapshot bounds can resolve to a
> snapshot version

> Contrary to the 2.0 design docs:
> "Resolution of dependency ranges should not resolve to a snapshot
> (development version) unless it is included as an explicit boundary."

> The following is equates to true:
> VersionRange.createFromVersionSpec( "[1.0,1.1]" ).containsVersion( new
> DefaultArtifactVersion( "1.1-SNAPSHOT" ) )
> The attached patch only allows snapshot versions to be contained in a range
> if they are equal to one of the boundaries. Note that this is a strict
> equality, so [1.0,1.2-SNAPSHOT] will not contain 1.1-SNAPSHOT.
