Public bug reported: Snapshot is the default camera application in Ubuntu Desktop, release as part of the GNOME project. We missed packaging version 50 pre-release tarballs in time for feature freeze. We would like to update to version 50 for some nice improvements, as well as showing that Ubuntu Desktop is providing the latest version as promised as part of delivering GNOME 50.
