Changes to take notice of
Snapcraft on core20
In itself, this is not a significant change to users of Snapcraft if it not were for the fact that this means that Snapcraft can now create snaps for RISCV and as of this version, no longer can target i386 for which users requiring support for i386 would need to switch to using Snapcraft's 5.0 track as announced on https://snapcraft.io/blog/snapcraft-6-0-is-around-the-corner. If using the Snapcraft build service, this task is mostly handled as described on the post.
Experimental --offline
When using --offline with Snapcraft, caching will be much more aggressive for which everything that can be solved without network access, will be. This works well for already pulled projects where dependency on the network may not be required.
