The prime impact for users will be support for snap:// URLs in the browser. This will allow web sites to provide a "click here to install this snap...." type links which will take the user directly to Ubuntu Software (instead of having to choose a url handler) where the snap will be preselected. e.g. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/02 /snap-url-support-coming-ubuntu-software-app-plus-love-news (link towards the bottom as an example of the sorts of things websites will be able to do). [Test Case] Run: $ xdg-open snap:moon-buggy Expected result: GNOME Software opens with information on the moon-buggy snap Observed result: Get error about "specified location not supported" [Regression Potential] Low, we set a default where there was previously none.
