ANN: snapcraft 2.10 is now available

[Sergio Schvezov]

Hello snapcrafters!  
  
We are pleased to announce the release of version 2.10 of snapcraft:  
https://launchpad.net/snapcraft/+milestone/2.10  
  
We are introducing many new features in this release:  
  
- Migrating to macaroons support for authentication. This will basically 
require  
  people to relogin to upload, this move allows us to build more  
  features to talk to the store APIs for a better developer experience.  
- `snapcraft init` now produces a valid template that you can just run 
against.  
- Support for zip files as a source type which most plugins can consume.  
- We renamed `strip` to `prime`. The former wasn't the best name for a  
  lifecycle step. Use of `strip` will print deprecation warnings.  
- Initial backend support to work on the parts ecosystem (more on this 
later,  
  this is just a teaser).  
- An assumes field which will be used by snapd the assert certain features  
  are supported by the system for that snap to work properly.  
  
Many more ongoing tasks and bugs have been fixed, mostly polish related to  
outputs and error messages; by the way, bugs are always welcome when an 
error  
message does not make sense. There have been tiny but nice improvements to 
the  
go and nodejs plugins as well. Refer to the milestone page for the complete 
 
list.
