Just a quick question: is the snap method of installing node-red end of life?  
The last update was basically a year ago and the version is stuck on 3.1.0.  
I have it insall on ubuntu core doing some home-automation tasks.  
Thanks in advance!

Hi @Vinblastine

Good question. We don't maintain the snap package from the core of the project - so it hasn't had much attention.

May need @dceejay to chime in.

Not really looked at it in a while... but have just bumped the candidate stream to latest 4.0.3 if anyone wants to try it.
