The highlights in this release are:
- The cache and packages when using
stage-packages
are now cached. - Allow in tree
snapcraft.yaml
to refer to outside sources. constraints
can now be set when using the python2 plugin.- both python plugins now have support to process dependency links.
- Fine grain control of parallel building. It can now be set per part.
- Build tags support has been added to the go plugin.
- You can now manually select artifacts when using the make plugin when the Makefile being used lacks an
