8.3.1

Core

Bases

core24

• Support all as a target with build-for: [all] (#4854)
• Ensure Craft Providers provider (LXD or Multipass) is available before launching a build environment
• Improve presentation of snapcraft.yaml model errors

Metadata

• Validate that update_contact, donation, vcs-browser, bugtracker, and homepage fields adopted from an appstream metadata file are valid URLs or email addresses
• Ensure that contact, donation, source-code, issues, and website fields in a snapcraft.yaml take priority over appstream metadata (#4890)

Remote build

• Allow building core22 snaps with build-for: [all]
• Support reading Launchpad credentials from the previous location (#4889)
  • If launchpad credentials do not exist in the new location ($XDG_DATA_DIR/snapcraft/launchpad-credentials) introduced in 8.2.0, then load credentials from the previous location ($XDG_DATA_DIR/snapcraft/provider/launchpad/credentials) and emit a deprecation notice
  • This behavior applies to the new and legacy remote builders
• Require core20 snaps to use the legacy remote builder (#4886)

Documentation

• Add an explanation for the remote builders (#4842)
• Update reference, how-to, and explanation for platforms and architectures
