==== Fixed variant selection behavior with `ArtifactView` and `ArtifactCollection`

The dependency resolution APIs for selecting different artifacts or files (`Configuration.getIncoming().artifactView { }` and `Configuration.getIncoming().getArtifacts()`) captured immutable copies of the underlying `Configuration`'s attributes to use for variant selection.

            request.setLocalRepositoryPath(localRepositoryPath);
        }

        //
        // Builder, concurrency and parallelism
        //
        // We preserve the existing methods for builder selection which is to look for various inputs in the threading
        // configuration. We don't have an easy way to allow a pluggable builder to provide its own configuration

			config: &Config{
				CipherSuites: []uint16{TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256},
				MaxVersion:   VersionTLS12,
			},
		}, ""}, // Check that mutual version selection works.

		{ecdsaCert, &ClientHelloInfo{
			CipherSuites:      []uint16{TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256},
			SupportedCurves:   []CurveID{CurveP256},
			SupportedPoints:   []uint8{pointFormatUncompressed},

    the `uri()` method to handle malformed percent-escapes and characters
    forbidden by `URI`.
 *  Fix: When a connect times out, attempt an alternate route. Previously route
    selection was less efficient when differentiating failures.
 *  New: `Response.peekBody()` lets you access the response body without
    consuming it. This may be handy for interceptors!

In this example, we use a convention plugin `myproject.java-conventions` to expose the test results from a project to Gradle's <<variant_model.adoc#understanding-variant-selection,variant aware dependency management engine>>.

The plugin declares a consumable `binaryTestResultsElements` configuration that represents the binary test results of the `test` task.
