Hello everyone,
the snappy team is happy to announce another release of the 2.23.6 series.
This release focuses on improving the robustness of the configuration hook
system.
The new release is available in the core snap (and also in ubuntu-core) in the beta channel. Once the initial testing is done it will move into the candidate channel.
It is also available in the 14.04, 16.04, 16.10 and 17.04 proposed pockets. More distributions will follow at their own pace.
To install this new release just run the following command:
$ sudo snap refresh --beta core
On the classic distribution you can also enable -proposed (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed) and install snapd from there.
The changes in detail:
- tests: fix interfaces-cups-control for zesty
- configstate,hookstate: timeout the configure hook after 5 mins, report failures
- packaging: rename the file shipping snap-confine AA profile to workaround dpkg bug #858004
- many: ignore configure hook failures on core refresh to ensure upgrades are always possible
- snapstate: restart as needed if we undid unlinking aka relinked core or kernel snap
- support for
snap core set pi-config.framebuffer_{width,height}
(and a bunch more, see System options for all options) config.txt setting
The source is available at https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/releases/tag/2.23.6
Enjoy and let us know if you notice any issues.
Cheers,
Michael (on behalf of the snappy team)
