+  * When the "snap-tool" script encounters a core snap it will switch to
+    the "stable" channel if the channel was set to "stable/ubuntu-X.X". This
+    ensures that core snaps always come from one canonical source.
+  * Running `snap-tool info <snap_name>` will now also print out the base of
+    the snap.
