Chip Tool Matter Controller

Chip Tool is a Matter controller being developed as part of the Connected Home IP project: https://github.com/project-chip/connectedhomeip

The snap packaging makes it easy to run the Chip Tool on Linux to experiment with Matter devices.

Stable Releases

For every versioned release of the CHIP project, the snap maintainers initiate a release process for the snap package. This process typically concludes within 4 weeks and includes smoke testing across all supported architectures.

Stable revisions are first published to the latest/candidate channel. Following successful manual testing, the revisions are promoted to the latest/stable channel.

The versioning format for stable revisions is <chip-version>+<build-metadata>. For instance, a release with no snap-specific changes on top of the v1.3.0.0 CHIP release will be versioned as v1.3.0.0+snap. A subsequent revision with only snap-related changes will use v1.3.0.0+snap.1.

Development Releases

Weekly development releases are built from the latest upstream changes in the CHIP project (master branch). These builds are automatically triggered by GitHub workflows.

The resulting revisions are first published to the latest/edge channel. After successful automated smoke testing, the revisions are promoted to the latest/beta channel.

Development releases do not get promoted to the latest/candidate or latest/stable channels.

The versioning for development releases mirrors that of stable releases but uses the short git hash instead of a version tag. This results in a version format like <git-hash>+snap.
