Snappy 2.0 is OUT

[Gustavo Niemeyer]

Ubuntu and Snappy community, it's time to celebrate!

After another intense week and a long Saturday focused on observing and
fine tuning the user experience, the development team is proud to announce
that Snappy 2.0 has been tagged.

This is an important moment for the project, as it materializes most of the
agreements that were made over the past year, and does so with the promise
of stability. So you may trust that the important external APIs of the
project (filesystem layout, snap format, REST API, etc) will not change
from now on.

The features that went into this release are way too rich for me to
describe in this email, but you may expect us to be covering the many
interesting aspects of Snappy 2.0 in the coming weeks. Rich interfaces
between snaps that control security and confinement, comprehensive
observation and control of system changes, completion and undoing of
partial system changes across restarts/reboots/crashes, local and remote
macaroon-based authentication, a polished filesystem layout and CLI
experience, modern sequencing of revisions.

Still, the most remarkable aspect about this release to me is that it is a
solid foundation. This release exports APIs and is constructed in a way to
be proud of, and together with this team will be delighted to spend the
foreseeable future building a platform the world has never seen.

As a final note, I can't thank the development team enough for the
dedication they have put into the project over the past year, and specially
over these last two weeks. You were the make it or break it of this
project, and you made it. Thank you!
