I need a clear statement on the Canonical (Ubuntu) Snap Store.
PowerShell 7.5 was released three weeks ago on GitHub. The PowerShell snap is still not updated. And, checking today, I noticed the snap’s ownership switched from Microsoft to Canonical.
Will the PowerShell snap be supported going forward?
Why was the publisher switched from Microsoft to Canonical?
The problem is I have a version of PowerShell with known bugs that I cannot update. And, I don’t have all the information I need to decide whether to withdraw PowerShell from my system.
Hi Michael,
I'm Mateus, one of the new maintainers of the PowerShell snaps at Canonical. As you have noticed on the Snap Store, the PowerShell team recently transferred both the PowerShell and the PowerShell Preview snaps over to us. Moving forward, Canonical will be the maintainer of both of these snaps.
We are collaborating closely with the PowerShell team to make sure our builds are up to standard and function smoothly. I have recently uploaded version 7.5 to the store, so feel free to check it out. You can also expect faster releases as we bootstrap and refine our own release process.
