Release notes
Snapcraft 0.5 is now available
Hi all,
We are happy to announce this release new version (0.5) of snapcraft: https:/
This release introduces quite a few bug fixes and some nice little things:
- npm/nodejs plugin, look at the examples, the shout irc example is also on the store to consume.
- nil plugin, externally contributed.
- Better handling of shebangs for binaries and services.
- No longer install recommends for packages.
- snapcraft clean for individual parts.
- A source-subdir keyword for parts.
- Improvements to the go plugin, such as building locally and a go-packages keyword is introduced to have a
similar experience as other plugins.
- A pip-packages keyword for the python plugins to avoid the need to write a requirements.txt
- Fixes for the copy plugin to support globs and better test coverage.
- Minor fixes to the catkin plugin to better deal with errors.
This release has many other bug fixes and improvements, these same release notes and the full changelog can be seen in the aforementioned link.
