Hello Snappy Enthusiasts, we are happy to show you a preview of the work on making snappy faster and slicker. The latest alpha image contains "snappy-go" which is a improve version of the existing snappy command and will eventually replace it. I would also encourage to try the very latest snapshot images [1], snappy-go gets better every day!
Below is a quick overview of what it can do and what the (small) differences to the current version are. We hope you are as excited about this as we are! Cheers, The snappy development team [1] Use "sudo ubuntu-device-flash core --channel ubuntu-core/devel-proposed --output snappy-latest.img" go get it! Snappy-go sneak preview ======================== The latest image comes with the preview of the new snappy command line expereince. Its slicker and faster, especially on slower hardware like arm. For example, the command $ snappy-go info release: ubuntu-core/devel-proposed architecture: amd64 frameworks: apps: takes just 0.4s on the beagle bone black which is massively faster than before. There is a new "list" command that provides information about the current installed parts: $ snappy-go list Name Date Version Summary ubuntu-core 2015-02-13 283 ubuntu-core description The updates can be displayed via: $ snappy-go list --updates Name Date Version ubuntu-core* 2015-02-13 292 And to see everything that is installed (including older versions), run: $ snappy-go list --verbose Name Date Version Summary ubuntu-core* 2015-02-13 283 ubuntu-core description ubuntu-core 2015-02-18 292 ubuntu-core description Reboot to use the new ubuntu-core.
