Version 36 is a maintenance release with feature additions and bug fixes.
The main feature contained in this version is:
Changes to the series-specific contract tokens
This version f the client relaxes the series-specific restrictions for contract tokens which are tied to a specific Ubuntu release (onlySeries tokens). Before, such a token could be used only in the release it was tied to. Now, the Client supports attaching to the specific release and to all releases prior to that one.
For example, a Jammy Jellyfish (22.04) onlySeries token can now attach in Jammy itself, in Focal Fossa (20.04), in Bionic Beaver (18.04) and in Xenial Xerus (16.04).
Other improvements not listed here also made it into 36. The full changelog can be seen on Launchpad .
