The Snap format is becoming more and more popular for Ubuntu, but also for various other GNU/Linux operating systems that decided to adopt the universal binary format developed by Canonical, so Snapcraft being the tool to create these Snaps is always getting new features and important improvements. Snapcraft 2.27 is here a little over two weeks after the release of Snapcraft 2.26, and it couldn’t be possible with the great work of many contributors, including Colin Watson, Marco Trevisan, John Lenton, Kit Randel, and Lo??c Minier.
