We would appreciate a round of testing from our users. There is a new UI for the command line in place which we hope will be welcomed. The full release notes are here. Feel free to try out the new features or ensure the ones you rely on still work!

To test you would need to install from the beta channel, ensure the version matches:

sudo snap install snapcraft --classic --beta

Please report back on this post if you find any blocker or discovered issue while testing this out.
