Multipass version 0.8.0

Highlights

  • multipass find output is now nicely formatted (#794)
  • separate data for different drivers, allowing safe switching between them (#800)
  • standard input/output support in transfer (#789 - thanks @maximdanilov!)
  • you can change the primary instance name, meaning any existing instance of your choice can be the primary one - just multipass set client.primary-name=<name> (#805)
  • it is now as easy as multipass set local.driver=virtualbox to change drivers (#835)
    if you used snap set to change it previously, the setting will get migrated to multipass set for you
  • in the snap, the libvirt driver now uses system libvirtd instead of an internal one (#850)

You can find the full list of changes in our v0.8.0 project and even more detailed in the full commit log.

Notes

The MULTIPASS_VM_DRIVER environment variable is now ignored. Please unset it and use multipass set local.driver=… to switch backends.

Significant bugfixes

  • prevent crash on delete --purge (#761)
  • fix concurrent launches of the same image (#664)
  • improve find formatting (#603, #765, #530)
  • clean up instance data on failed launch (#680)
  • long output to exec hangs (#772)

System menu

At the moment, on Windows and macOS there's no icon to click on to run the GUI, as it's our first iteration. You can run multipass-gui yourself and see the menu in action :)

We'll be properly integrating it with the desktop environments soon.

Feedback

Please file issues here for problems and feature requests, or come to our discourse to chat. We're also on #multipass on Freenode. See you there :)
