New stable core snap

[Michael Vogt]

Hi,

The Snappy Team are happy to announce that we have a new version of
the "core" snap in the stable channel. It is based on snapd 2.18.1 and
contains all the good features of 2.18 that got announced in [1].

In addition we did some small and targeted fixes that resulted in two
more candidate snaps and the snapd 2.18.1 release [2][3].

Due to the power of Ubuntu Core, your devices will update and reboot
automatically :)

Focus now shifts to the 2.19 and 2.20 releases. 2.19 will be available
in the candidate channel shortly for our early adopters and 2.20 moves
into development.

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

Cheers,
 Michael (on behalf of the snappy team)
