This release includes many improvements and features such as: - migration from skills to interfaces. - support for parallel builds for plugins that support it - support for a daemon's restart condition. - A --debug flag to make plugin writing easier There have also been many small improvements and polish, worthy of mention are: - cleaner output, or better said we removed some no value add output to your screens. - some smarter source management for subdirs. - clearer human understandable errors when using improper build-packages, catkin-packages or invalid commands for apps To consume the latest snapcraft release on Xenial Xerus (16.04), 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.
