Multipass version 1.3.0

Again a Multipass release!

Windows and macOS installers are available below, and the Snap in the stable snap channel:

snap refresh multipass --channel stable
# or
snap install multipass

Highlights

• We're a strictly confined snap now (no --classic required on installation and less cross-distro trouble) (#1074):
  • refer to snap connections multipass for the permissions we get
  • Multipass now runs on Ubuntu Core hosts, but you'll need to use sudo multipass ... for the moment
• We implemented integration with Windows Terminal:
  
• We added a preview of LXD as a supported backend (#1533):
  • you will need to install lxd and configure everything

  $ snap install lxd
  $ lxd init --auto
  $ snap connect multipass:lxd lxd
  $ multipass set local.driver=lxd

• And added some cool appliance images (#1543):

  $ multipass find appliance:
  Image                       Aliases           Version          Description
  appliance:adguard-home                        20200605         Ubuntu AdGuard Home Appliance
  appliance:mosquitto                           20200605         Ubuntu Mosquitto Appliance
  appliance:nextcloud                           20200605         Ubuntu Nextcloud Appliance
  appliance:openhab                             20200605         Ubuntu openHAB Home Appliance
  appliance:plexmediaserver                     20200605         Ubuntu Plex Media Server Appliance
  

  You can try those out with multipass launch appliance:<appliance name> (you'll need to use VirtualBox on macOS).
