There are changes all over, and among the ones worth mentioning here are support running from other operating systems, an improved retry strategy for GETs to Snappy Store, better push output, switch to the newer LTS version of Node.js for the nodejs plugin, along with support for the Yarn reliable and secure dependency management tool. Among other changes implemented in the Snapcraft 2.29 release, we can mention that the ARM64 (AArch64) architecture was added to the nightly tests, the KDE Neon GNU/Linux distribution is now supported, the ant plugin was updated to honor proxy configuration, and the rust plugin can now set the RUSTFLAGS environment variable.
