snapd 2.60.3
Bugfixes
Use “aes-cbc-essiv:sha256” in cryptsetup on arm 32bit devices
to increase speed on devices with CAAM support

Support for dynamic snapshot data exclusions
Apparmor userspace is vendored inside the snapd snap
Added a default-configure hook that exposes gadget default configuration options to snaps during first install before services are started
Allow install from initrd to speed up the initial installation for systems that do not have a install-device hook
New snap sign --chain flag that appends the account and account-key assertions
