<br>
We are pleased to announce the release of version 2.12 of snapcraft:<br>
<a href="https://launchpad.net/snapcraft/+milestone/2.12" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://launchpad.net/snapcraft/+milestone/2.12</a><br>
<br>
This is an exciting release with many new features and improvements.<br>
Among the features to highlight:<br>
<br>
- New parts ecosystem where remote parts are managed with some new<br>
snapcraft commands such as, update, search and define.<br>
- Many improvements to the parts parser backend.<br>
- More store interaction straight from snapcraft, `snapcraft register`<br>
is now available to register your snap name.<br>
- Subversion support as a source.<br>
- A gulp plugin<br>
- A qmake plugin<br>
- The possibility of loading from a .snapcraft.yaml<br>
(<dot>snapcraft<dot>yaml) for those wanting to hide this file from their<br>
trees.<br>
<br>
Among improvements:<br>
<br>
- rpath with $ORIGIN is properly taken care of now (no more /home/...<br>
paths added).<br>
- Error message improvements across the board.<br>
- cleanbuild now properly creates ephemeral containers.<br>
<br>
