Snapcraft 2.25 has been released.

[XiaoGuo Liu]

Hi Olivier,

Based on the snapcraft release 2.25, I have made an example at:

https://github.com/liu-xiao-guo/helloworld-desktop

So, far, I do not have any problems with it. Is there anything I am doing
wrongly? I can see the launchers in the Ubuntu dash without any problems
and the apps are launched well.

By the way, I have created a blog for it at
http://blog.csdn.net/ubuntutouch/article/details/54691673. It has the
captured pictures.

Thanks & best regards,
XiaoGuo
