Release 7.3 · canonical/snapcraft

providers: set environment according to directory inside instances by @mr-cal in #3951
providers: pass SNAPCRAFT_MAX_PARALLEL_BUILD_COUNT to instance by @mr-cal in #3997

Disable automatic snap refreshes inside instances
LXD instances launch from a cached base instance rather than a base image. This reduces disk usage and launch time.
For the LXD launch function launched_environment, the parameter use_snapshots has been replaced by use_base_instance. use_snapshots still works but logs a deprecation notice.
Expire and recreate base instances older than 3 months (90 days)
Check for network connectivity after network-related commands fails
Set LXD id maps after launching or copying an instance
Raise BaseConfigurationError for snap refresh failures
Check LXD id map before starting an existing instance. If the id map does not match, the instance will be auto cleaned or an error will be raised.
