Release notes
Hi all,
We are pleased to announce this release new version (2.1) of snapcraft: https:/
2.1 is a risky and ground breaking release as it introduces the skills concept, particularly the migration-skill. All the examples and relevant documentation has been updated, given the constant movement in this rolling release, we expect some things to require some polishing either on the snapcraft or Ubuntu Core side.
Additionally, you can now directly upload your snap using snapcraft (given you have authenticated), check out https:/
Another interesting change is that we removed many base dependencies from snapcraft so not everyone needs to go through the burden of installing so many dependencies when not needed (e.g.; mercurial when only working with git, gcc when only working with pure java). Some build-packages will need polish.
There have been many bug fixes as well, for details we invite you to check the milestone on launchpad.
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/
To get the source for this release check it out at https:/
Las but not least, while 2.1 is out, we are already working on 2.2 https:/
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.

Happy snapcrafting,
- Sergio and the team
