Snapd 2.26.8 comes about nine days after version 2.26.6 as it would appear that Canonical skipped version 2.26.7, and adds a bunch of goodies to those interested in installing Snap applications. For example, there’s now tab-completion support in Snaps, in the way that they can ship with a bash completion script that can be exported to user’s shell. It also adds a new command called “snap whoami,” a new “snap refresh –time” option that users can use to show information about refresh settings, as well as a new “snap tasks –last={refresh,install,remove,connect,disconnect,configure,try}” option. Moreover, Snapd 2.26.8 improves the API interface, the tab completion for interfaces, and the output of the “snap info” command.
