Snap Release Notes for Canonical Snaps

snap

How can I find the release notes for new revisions of canonical snaps? For example core18 was just updated on 2022-08-30

yet in launchpad the last modified date is 2022-03-09

The git repo has no releases

How do I know what changes were made?

I’ve no direct involvement with these snap, but I doubt any changes were made to the packaging recipe. It is more likely there was a library updated in archive. You could compare the snap/manifest.yaml for the two versions:

diff /snap/core18/{2538,2560}/snap/manifest.yaml
