Snapcraft 2.10 appears to be a major release, though we can’t help but notice that the latest version uploaded a few hours ago to the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS stable repositories is version 2.10.1. The biggest new features of Snapcraft 2.10 are support for macaroons for authentication for a better developer experience, as the Snapcraft devs are now allowed to create additional features for communicating with the store APIs, as well as support for zip files, which will be used as a source type for plugins.
