Snaps!
I actually released last week 🙂 I haven’t had time to blog, but today is my birthday and taking some time to myself!
This release came with a major bugfix. As it turns out our applications were very crashy on non-KDE platforms including Ubuntu proper. Unfortunately, for years, and I didn’t know. Developers were closing the bug reports as invalid because users couldn’t provide a stacktrace. I have now convinced most developers to assign snap bugs to the Snap platform so I at least get a chance to try and fix them. So with that said, if you tried our snaps in the past and gave up in frustration, please do try them again! I also spent some time cleaning up our snaps to only have current releases in the store, as rumor has it snapcrafters will be responsible for any security issues. With 200+ snaps I maintain, that is a lot of responsibility. We’ll see if I can pull it off.
Life!
My last surgery was a success! I am finally healing and out of a sling for the first time in almost a year. I have also lined up a good amount of web work for next month and hopefully beyond. I have decided to drop the piece work for donations and will only accept per project proposals for open source work. I will continue to maintain KDE snaps for as long as time allows. A big thank you to everyone that has donated over the last year to fund my survival during this broken arm fiasco. I truly appreciate it!
