JTS Version question

[instagibb]

In the parent geolatte pom the JTS version is defined by a property

<properties>
<jts-core.version>1.18.0</jts-core.version>
</properties>

However in the released versions on the Maven repositories the pom has a version range defined?

<properties>
<jts-core.version>[1.18.0, 1.19.0)</jts-core.version>
</properties>

This means that it ends up having a jts-core dependency of any later version of 1.18.x below 1.19.0?

My question is when does the jts-core.version property get modified?

When there is a need for it. We don't try to track JTS closely. We need to be mindful that updating JTS doesn't break our API.

My question was more about the build process and does it modify the version?

Why is it a range of versions in the compiled jar in the official maven repositories when the source here suggests it is locked to a specific version?
