Upgrading didn't change version number

[dcaunt42]

This may be a simple misunderstanding of how snap works as I don’t use it very often, but I just performed the upgrade of MAAS and the version number doesn’t seem to have changed. I had previously been on the beta channel, so upgrading consisted of switching to the stable channel.

[root@maas-region01 ~]# snap list

Is this because the 3.3 beta channel and the 3.3 stable channel are temporarily on the same version on account of the release happening just a few days ago? Or did my upgrade from beta to stable not work correctly?

Hi @dcaunt42,

You are correct, at this moment the 3.3/stable and 3.3/beta channels point to the same file, so the refresh operation you performed just changed meta-data in the snap database.

You can see in the output that you are now tracking 3.3/stable, so the operation was successful.

Thank you @alexsander-souza!
