Hello snapcrafters!

We are pleased to announce the release of version 2.15 of snapcraft:
https://launchpad.net/snapcraft/+milestone/2.15

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 install target.

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:

• Christian Ehrhardt
• Daniel Watkins
• Harald Sitter
