Hi,

we are happy to announce that the 2.14.2 release of snapd is released
in Ubuntu 16.04 and Fedora 24 (COPR). Other distributions will follow
soon.

We also released a new version of the "core" snap that contains this
version of snapd.

Some highlights:
- When installing snaps without assertions, please use
  the --force-dangerous option
- Use lazy umount on removal which fixes some removal delays
  we had
- Disable the "reexec" feature, you can enable it via SNAP_REEXEC=1
- New `snap download` command to download snaps
- Allow install and remove by revision
- Tons of image releated fixes and improvements
- New interfaces:
  + fwupd for firmware upgrades
  + upower-observe
  + screen-inhibit-control
  + Updates to default policy, browser-support, bluetooth-control,
    x11 

Please let us know if you notice any issues.

Cheers,
 Michael
