This is the first release candidate for the v1.7.0 release of Podman. Preliminary release notes:

Features

  • Added support for setting a static MAC address for containers
  • Added support for creating macvlan networks with podman network create, allowing Podman containers to be attached directly to networks the host is connected to
  • The podman image prune and podman container prune commands now support the --filter flag to filter what will be pruned, and now prompts for confirmation when run without --force (
    #4410 and #4411)
  • Podman now creates CGroup namespaces by default on systems using CGroups v2 (#4363)
  • Added the podman system reset command to remove all Podman files and perform a factory reset of the Podman installation
  • Added the --history flag to podman images to display previous names used by images (#4566)
  • Added the --ignore flag to podman rm and podman stop to not error when requested containers no longer exist
  • Added the --cidfile flag to podman rm and podman stop to read the IDs of containers to be removed or stopped from a file
  • The podman play kube command now honors Seccomp annotations (#3111)
  • The podman play kube command now honors RunAsUser, RunAsGroup, and selinuxOptions
  • The output format of the podman version command has been changed to better match docker version when using the --format flag
  • Rootless Podman will no longer initialize containers/storage twice, removing a potential deadlock preventing Podman commands from running while an image was being pulled ([#4591](https://
    github.com//issues/4591))
  • Added tmpcopyup and notmpcopyup options to the --tmpfs and --mount type=tmpfs flags to podman create and podman run to control whether the content of directories are copied in
    to tmpfs filesystems mounted over them
  • Added support for disabling detaching from containers by setting empty detach keys via --detach-keys=""
  • The podman build command now supports the --pull and --pull-never flags to control when images are pulled during a build

Bugfixes

  • Fixed a bug where Podman would use an incorrect runtime directory as root, causing state to be deleted after root logged out and making Podman in systemd services not function properly
  • Fixed a bug where the --change flag to podman import and podman commit was not being parsed properly in many cases
  • Fixed a bug where detach keys specified in libpod.conf were not used by the podman attach and podman exec commands, which always used the global default ctrl-p,ctrl-q key combinat
    ion (#4556)
  • Fixed a bug where rootless Podman was not able to run podman pod stats even on CGroups v2 enabled systems (#4634)
  • Fixed a bug where rootless Podman would fail on kernels without the renameat2 syscall (#4570)
  • Fixed a bug where containers with chained network namespace dependencies (IE, container A using --net container=B and container B using --net container=C) would not properly mount /e\ tc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf into the container (#4626)
  • Fixed a bug where podman run with the --rm flag and without -d could, when run in the background, throw a 'container does not exist' error when attempting to remove the container af
    ter it exited
  • Fixed a bug where named volume locks were not properly reacquired after a reboot, potentially leading to deadlocks when trying to start containers using the volume ([#4605](https://github\
    .com//issues/4605) and #4621)
  • Fixed a bug where Podman could not completely remove containers if sent SIGKILL during removal, leaving the container name unusable without the podman rm --storage command to complete r
    emoval (#3906)
  • Fixed a bug where checkpointing containers started with --rm was allowed when --export was not specified (the container, and checkpoint, would be removed after checkpointing was compl
    ete by --rm) (#3774)
  • Fixed a bug where the podman pod prune command would fail if containers were present in the pods and the --force flag was not passed ([#4346](https://github.com/containers/libpod/issu\
    es/4346))
  • Fixed a bug where containers could not set a static IP or static MAC address if they joined a non-default CNI network (#4500)
  • Fixed a bug where podman system renumber would always throw an error if a container was mounted when it was run
  • Fixed a bug where podman container restore would fail with containers using a user namespace
  • Fixed a bug where rootless Podman would attempt to use the journald events backend even on systems without systemd installed
  • Fixed a bug where podman history would sometimes not properly identify the IDs of layers in an image (#3359)
  • Fixed a bug where containers could not be restarted when Conmon v2.0.3 or later was used
  • Fixed a bug where Podman did not check image OS and Architecture against the host when starting a container
  • Fixed a bug where containers in pods did not function properly with the Kata OCI runtime (#4353)
  • Fixed a bug where `podman info --format '{{ json . }}' would not produce JSON output (#4391)
  • Fixed a bug where Podman would not verify if files passed to --authfile existed (#4328)
  • Fixed a bug where podman images --digest would not always print digests when they were available
  • Fixed a bug where rootless podman run could hang due to a race with reading and writing events
  • Fixed a bug where rootless Podman would print warning-level logs despite not be instructed to do so (#4456)
  • Fixed a bug where podman pull would attempt to fetch from remote registries when pulling an unqualified image using the docker-daemon transport ([#4434](https://github.com/containers/\
    libpod/issues/4434))
  • Fixed a bug where podman cp would not work if STDIN was a pipe
  • Fixed a bug where podman exec could stop accepting input if anything was typed between the command being run and the exec session starting ([#4397](https://github.com/containers/libpod/\
    issues/4397))
  • Fixed a bug where podman logs --tail 0 would print all lines of a container's logs, instead of no lines (#4396)
  • Fixed a bug where the timeout for slirp4netns was incorrectly set, resulting in an extremely long timeout (#4344)
  • Fixed a bug where the podman stats command would print CPU utilizations figures incorrectly (#4409)

  • Updated vendored containers/storage library to v1.15.3
  • Kata Containers runtimes (kata-runtime, kata-qemu, and kata-fc) are now present in the default libpod.conf, but will not be available unless Kata containers is installed on the syst
