Dear Snapd Community,
We are pleased to inform you that we have started the release process for snapd 2.67.
This version is now available in the beta channel for testing.
Highlights:
- Registry views: This feature has evolved beyond cross-snap configuration, now enabling custodian snaps to validate changes and store registry data outside of snapd.
- Components: Standard components are now broadly usable, after the addition of the
snap components
command, support for joint install of snaps and components from local files, and tab completion. Building on standard components, kernel components have been enhanced with support for thesnapctl model
command for kernel snaps as well as other improvements to enable kernel drivers for proprietary hardware on Ubuntu Core.
Notable bug fixes:
- AppArmor Prompting: Fixed an issue with overlapping rules (bug report)
- Resolved a deadlock edge case related to app awareness during refresh operations (LP2084730)
- Addressed issues with reloading service activation units to prevent systemd errors (LP2083961)
- Fixed the generation of AppArmor profiles with incorrect revisions during concurrent refreshes of snaps using the content interface
For the release plan and complete list of changes, please refer to the full release notes.
Feel free to provide your test feedback here or directly in Launchpad.
We greatly appreciate your contributions and support!
