Controlling when Snaps update |
 |
Normally, when Snap packages are updated, the experience should be seamless. Assuming all goes well, the user will not notice the shift from one version to the next. However, there are situations when we do not want software to automatically update without warning and Snap packages will soon include the ability to hold back updates when the application is running. Igor Ljubuncic writes: "By design, snaps come with automatic updates, and by default, the update (refresh) frequency check is four times a day. Whenever new application versions are published, they soon become available and propagate to all end-user systems. Normally, the process is transparent and seamless, but there could be exceptions. For instance, if you have an app open and running, an update could be disruptive in the middle of your work. Some developers have asked for an option to inhibit refreshes of snaps while they are running, and this is now a new, experimental feature that you can enable and test on your system." Details on how to test inhibiting Snap updates can be found Ljubuncic's blog post.
