snapcraft 2.14 has been released

on GitHub

Hello snapcrafters!

We are pleased to announce the release of version 2.14 of snapcraft:
https://launchpad.net/snapcraft/+milestone/2.14

The highlights in this release are:

• New plugins: dump, rust and godeps. Run
  snapcraft help <dump|rust|godeps> for more information about these.
• Support in the make plugin to use alternate relocation mechanisms
  (i.e.; DESTDIR alternatives).
• kernel building can now target many architectures with the same
  snapcraft.yaml.
• The go plugin has received a lot of improvements, such as properly
  handling the source entry like all other plugins and the use of
  go-packages has improved to prefer local sources instead of
  go getting them again.

Some relevant and interesting fixes:

• Snaps of type os get the special treatment they need allowing
  the use of Launchpad to build fully functional core snaps.
• python plugins now properly support requirements files.
• shebangs from the python plugins are now properly set.
• support for oneshot daemons.
• smarter wiki parser source management.

This release has seen many contributions from outside of the snapcraft
core team, so we want to give a shout out to these folks, here's a team
thank you for:

• Bogdana Vereha
• Simon Quigley
