> Introducing snap tracks A long requested feature from our snap users has been to have more control over their upgrades. Cases like where we release 2.0 and maybe it changes a behavior they want a bit more time to adjust for. Or more importantly they want to be there when the snap is updated in case something goes wrong. Snap tracks are a simple way for you as a user to control which version of Rocket.Chat you are running. By default if you perform: snap install rocketchat-server You are pu…

**I´ve changed the upgrade channel to:**  
`snap switch rocketchat-server --channel=7.x/stable`  
But as you can see the server / rocket chat cannot find any upgrade to the latest version which apparently seems to be version 7.2.1.

**Thoughts?** 🤔

Thanks in advance.

See the Ubuntu Snap FAQ for why snaps are released later.

Same reason since almost when snaps were released.

> When will my snap installation get the latest release?

[https://docs.rocket.chat/docs/snaps-faq](https://docs.rocket.chat/docs/snaps-faq)

It is what it is. There is NO fixed schedule.

They just haven’t released a newer version as yet. 7.0 is supported for 6 months.

Snaps are the most used deployment. They do not upgrade them without a lot of thought and testing to save everyone complaining that stuff has broken. If there is a delay it is to fix an issue.

If you want cutting edge then use a different type of deployment. Snaps will get released as and when they feel ready to do so and nothing is going to change that.

You can of course use docker, or just takes the source code and build it yourself.

So you do have a choice. Sit and wait patiently, or use another deployment method.

Thanks for the answer and explanation. It is appreciated!  
I just saw the notification over and over that a new version has been released and I could not directly figure out why it was not available on the Snaps version. But you have explained it neatly, so now I know why! 👍

Kind regards

NP.

I understand that there have been some internal organisational changes that have also delayed some things.

There will be a release but I don’t know when. Probably “quite soon”… In the next couple of weeks at a guess.

But how “long is a piece of string”? 🤣🤣

Hi  
I’m waiting too for a new version. There is 7.3 available but still there is no Snap newer than 7.0.0.

Said it many times. If you want latest then use docker. If not relax and enjoy stability.

I would agree that the notification is an annoyance.

7.3.1 is now available on Snap.  
We are working to fix the automated flows that will keep Snap up to date with our latest releases.

thanks for reporting
