Hello
It's always really interesting to read the changelogs for the nightly appimages (Linux), and thanks for your work. May I ask about a commit on #949 (Jul 21) where I can see snap referred to? ... Snap: Fix file chooser icons. Add jpeg 2000, gif, raw, TIFF, HEIF, and it involves snap/snapcraft. Being someone who doesn't install snap, because of the proprietary backend, can I ask what this involves? A bit confused why snap would be linked in the appimage.
Thank you.

Those logs are for all of Krita, not just the appimage. We have a volunteer who maintains the snap build of Krita, and he pushed a couple of fixes.

Thanks Boudewijn I see. I'd been reading the appimage recent changes report as only for appimage, not for all of Krita. Is there anywhere that lists only the changes on the appimage directly?

No, because we build the appimage using the same codebase that builds the snap, flatpak, apt/rpm/aur-builds, android version, windows version and the macos version. The commits that fix things for snap do not actually mean krita contains snap itself, it just a bit of extra configuration, much like we have separate bits of config for all the other build types.

Thank you TheraHedwig I appreciate your assurances also, and will make sure to follow main feature-release notes instead. I also see threads where people e.g. say that a new feature can be tested on a nightly appimage, so will go that route too.
