Snapcraft 2.42 comes less than two weeks after version 2.41, which improved the mechanism for overriding lifecycle steps, passthrough property, error reporting, and updated the dotnet, nodejs, and python plugins, to add even more enhancements to the utility that helps application developers to package their apps as Snaps.

In Snapcraft 2.42, there’s a new feature called multipass cleanbuild support, which might come in handy to users of snapcraft cleanbuild with multipass installed. To try it out, you’ll have to run the “$ SNAPCRAFT_BUILD_ENVIRONMENT=multipass snapcraft cleanbuild” command in the terminal emulator.
