Hello,

The Snappy team is happy to announce the promotion of snapd 2.22.2
from the candidate channel to stable in both the "core" and
"ubuntu-core" snaps. It will also be available via the regular apt
update mechanism in Ubuntu 14.04, 16.04 and 16.10. Other distributions
will follow on their own schedule.

As a reminder 2.22.2 brings with it:

- automatically transition ubuntu-core snaps to core
- support for X-Ayatana-Desktop-Shortcuts in desktop files
- improve retry handling on network errors further
- support for disabling sshd from the core config
- support new "reload-command" in snap.yaml
- fix snap try with classic confinement
- many more bugfixes
- interface improvements:
  - opengl, default, network-control, network-manager
  - new interfaces:
    - unity8-download-manager, evolution, account-control,
      core-support

Due to the power of Ubuntu Core, your device will update and reboot
automatically so there is nothing for you to do :)

Please let us know if you notice any issues and enjoy the new release!

Cheers,
 Michael (on behalf of the snappy team)
