release:prepare resolves dependency ranges [1.0,) as SNAPSHOT

When issuing the command prepare command to a project with a dependency range decleration I get the following:

[INFO] Checking dependencies and plugins for snapshots ...
There are still some remaining snapshot dependencies.: Do you want to resolve them now? (yes/no) no: :
