Hi all,
We are happy to announce this release new version (2.0) of snapcraft: https://launchpad.net/snapcraft/+milestone/2.0
2.0 marks a new beginning for snapcraft, targeting only Xenial Xerus (16.04) aligned with all the changes 16.04 is bringing to the table. The changelog for this release is quite big, so I invite you to directly check it out in the milestone link, in summary though there have been:
- snapcraft lifecycle changes.
- meta data changes to have a natural feel with snap.yaml and the new language being put in place for 16.04.
- a fancier command line interface.
- squashfs based snaps, which inherently only work on 16.04
To consume the latest snapcraft release on Xenial Xerus, we suggest you install the snapcraft package from the Ubuntu Archives:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapcraft
If you don't want to consume the examples from the source branch you can also install the examples package:
sudo apt install snapcraft-examples
After installing this you can find them in /usr/share/doc/snapcraft-examples/examples. There are some new examples included in this release as well.
To get the source for this release check it out at https://github.com/ubuntu-core/snapcraft/releases/tag/2.0
A great place to collaborate and discuss features, bugs and ideas on snapcraft is snappy-app-devel mailing list or directly in the #snappy channel on irc.freenode.net.
To file bugs, please go to https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapcraft/+filebug.
Happy snapcrafting,
- Sergio and the team
