Hello Snapcrafters! The Snapcraft team is delighted to announce that version 3.9 is now available.
These are the release notes (currently being drafted).
The snapcraft snap for 3.9 currently available in the candidate channel, to try it out run:
$ sudo snap install --candidate --classic snapcraft
Of, if you already have it installed, to try it out run:
$ sudo snap refresh --candidate snapcraft
When building core18 snaps, I get the following error message.
Snap 'grade' was set to 'stable' but must be 'devel'.
Recommended resolution:
Set 'grade' to 'devel' or use a stable base for this snap.
Run the same command again with --debug to shell into the environment if you wish to introspect this failure.
I’m not sure why I’m getting this since core18 has been stable for a long time.

Also, it might be best to grant autoconnection of kde-frameworks-5-core18 before releasing this snapcraft version, since kde-neon extension snaps don’t work without the connection.
Are you building on Launchpad with non-stable versions of the core18, core or snapcraft snaps?
I’m building on my laptop (using multipass). I’m not sure how to select the core18 version or check which version I’m using.
I’m using snapcraft from the candidate channel. (3.9, 3673)
I too am getting Snap 'grade' was set to 'stable' but must be 'devel'. on the snaps I’m testing with. lp:~ubuntu-desktop/gnome-system-monitor/snap for example.
Where you are building is the key to figuring this one out.
And where are you using core18 from?
Actually I see this locally too when building with multipass and have a core18 snap installed on my host that is on the edge channel.
Yeah, that will do it… that base could have a multitude of bugs in it which you wouldn’t want to have make into a stable channel by accident, considering the base is used to determine many attributes from the snap at build time, you wouldn’t want to be releasing a snap that only works when using core18 from edge to a stable channel.
I’m building in multipass from beta channel on Ubuntu 18.04. core18 on the host is from stable.
Inside the multipass container.

Issue should be fixed on edge, it will make it into candidate after the automated battery of tests is done.
3.9.1 can be found on candidate, fixing the issue reported by @galgalesh, @popey and @ijohnson
I can confirm this works now.
Yeah, I’ve run a few snaps under lxd but having real trouble with multipass. Not sure if that’s a local issue for me, my system or what. Need to investigate further.
This lot built successfully with 3.9.1 in candidate. I installed a few and they worked fine.

I tested 3.9.1 with the following snaps:
All built using multipass. All built successfully and run as expected.
