Description

One change that crept into maven-artifact recently without my full understanding enabled the updateInterval calculation for release artifacts. Since releases are considered immutable by Maven, update-interval calculations should never cause released artifacts to be re-resolved.

NOTE: This does NOT apply to release metadata, as the meta-versions RELEASE and LATEST may change with successive releases to a particular project...release metadata should be checked according to the updateInterval in the releases section of the repository definition.
