Canonical Releases Snapcraft 2.32 to Support ROS Lunar in the Catkin Plugin

Coming only 11 days after the Snapcraft 2.31 release that implemented support for resuming Snap downloads when building classic Snaps, better build-packages asset tracking, support for cross-compiling Go parts, and entire support for building an entire ROS project from a single file, Snapcraft 2.32 appears to be a small update that adds support for ROS Lunar Loggerhead in the Catkin plugin, which is primarily targeted at the Ubuntu 17.04 (Zesty Zapus) release. The Autotools plugin was improved as well to no longer force uniqueness on configflags, cross-compilation support is now available in the Rust plugin, a “–version” command was implemented to show the currently installed Snapcraft version, along with a “whoami” command. Moreover, local can now be specified as source-type in sources, and the snapcore/snapcraft Docker image can now be used in Travis CI, which can run unit tests with mock armhf.
