Canonical's Michael Vogt was happy to announce that the snapd 2.0.10 Snappy tool from Ubuntu Core has successfully landed in the main software repositories of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus).

And now, one week later, snapd 2.0.10 lands safely for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS users, bringing many goodies to those who have already adopted the Snap universal binary format. Release highlights include three new interfaces that give snapd access to the optical device, webcam, and an external media player connected via the MPRIS (Media Player Remote Interfacing Specification) D-Bus interface.

Moreover, there's now support for the "snap {install,refresh} --{edge,beta,candidate,stable}" shorthand, support for GVFS (GNOME Virtual File System) shares in the Home directory, temporarily allowing socketcall by default, better support for running snapd inside LXC (Linux Containers), some much-needed updates to the interface policy, and better handling of removed "snap try" directories.
