I've noticed something weird with Maven projects that are set to build downstream jobs if there is a SNAPSHOT dependency. It now lists jobs as dependencies (and builds them) even if it is not a SNAPSHOT dependency but a regular dependency.
It looks like the code for JENKINS-12735 to allow version ranges is causing this. If you use version of <version>1.0.0</version>, that should not trigger it, but the other uses like [1.0.0,2.0.0), etc. should. This is causing lots of extra unnecessary builds when you have a lot of projects that are dependent on each other, but set to a release of the other and not a SNAPSHOT. -- Larry
