Canonical Releases Snapd 2.18 Snappy Daemon for Ubuntu Core 16 and Ubuntu 16.10

Prominent new features of snapd 2.18 include the “snap info ” command for viewing details about a certain Snap package, support for the “snap find –section=” command, the ability to view featured Snaps using the “snap find” command without any other arguments, and support for delta downloads on slow connections. Additionally, snapd 2.18 addresses an issue with the “`snap install/remove/refresh ” command to no longer fail if the respective Snap package is already in the sought state. You can now view progress information for in-progress changes using the “snap watch ” command, and there’s a bunch of networking improvements.
