Dear Snapd Community,
We’re pleased to share that the release process for snapd 2.68.4 is progressing well. While the overall 2.68 release has taken a significant time to stabilize, we’re confident that this version will see it through to a successful rollout. This update was prompted by a mistake in classic 24.XX models that required a workaround in snapd, and it is now available in the candidate channel for testing.
This release includes the exact content of snapd 2.68.3, along with a couple of additional changes:
- Workaround for classic 24.04/24.10 models that incorrectly specify core22 instead of core24 (LP: #20729871)
- Updated build dependencies
For a detailed overview of the highlights, changes to experimental features, and implications for Ubuntu Core with Full Disk Encryption, please refer to the Snapd 2.68.3 Release Update.
For the release plan and complete list of changes, please refer to the full release notes.
If you are planning on building Ubuntu Core 24 Images, please read this important notice.
Feel free to provide your test feedback here or directly in Launchpad. To help fast track investigations please provide (1) details about the system, (2) snapd version(s) and (3) steps to reproduce the issue.
The next planned release is 2.69, with the release process having started on 21 April.
We greatly appreciate your contributions and support!
