#### 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.

For usage instructions and questions, refer to <https://github.com/canonical/chip-tool-snap>

**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`.
