What is the cadence for listing release notes? As SC 7.3.1 is out on stable channel, would it not have an entry here (for 7.3)? Or is there some magic as to when releases get listed here?

There’s no science to this. I add them when I notice a new release - or someone lets me know. You’re right about 7.3 and 7.3.1, so I’ll add these now.

Edit: Anyone is always free to update these pages - but I’ve now updated this for snapcraft 7.3. I’m not sure how helpful these notes are here when snapcraft publishes its own changelog at https://github.com/snapcore/snapcraft/releases, but they’re perhaps a useful reminder of what documentation likely needs updating.
