Hello snapcrafters!

We are pleased to announce the release of version 2.15 of snapcraft:
https://launchpad.net/snapcraft/+milestone/2.15

The highlights in this release are:

- The cache and packages when using `stage-packages` are now cached.
- Allow in tree `snapcraft.yaml` to refer to outside sources.
- `constraints` can now be set when using the python2 plugin.
- both python plugins now have support to process dependency links.
- Fine grain control of parallel building. It can now be set per part.
- Build tags support has been added to the go plugin.
- You can now manually select artifacts when using the make plugin when
the Makefile being used lacks an `install` target.

core team, so we want to give a shout out to these folks, here's a team
