This release introduces multi-engine support with parity where it is possible, plus many other improvements and bugs fixed.
- Engine switching between
podmananddocker(docker only in what it can have parity with podman and commonly used features only for now) - Ability to start LIMA instances automatically for both podman and docker
- Ability to user other LIMA instances of choice (one has to manually set paths to programs or use the finders in the UI)
- Ability to use custom WSL distributions for both podman and docker
- Ability to save user preferences, upon detection, they will override defaults
- New section for "Pods"
Open terminalnow works for Windows - requires Windows Terminal not the ancient shell
Added
- Added view kube yaml for pod
- Added view kube yaml for container
- Pods section processes
- Pods section list
- Pods section inspect
- Multiple container engine support
- Docker engine support
- Podman and Docker support for operating modes
- Adaptive color scheme to dissociate between engines (original for podman and blue for docker)
- Ability to customize path to podman / docker and their connection strings
- Ability to test custom configuration
- Ability to save customization and restore defaults
- Ability to detect what is currently available
- Full support for custom LIMA instance and WSL distributions for both engines - WSL distributions requires socat (
apt-get install socat) to perform relaying to the windows pipe that the electron app uses (ugly but it works) - 45: Added support for Windows Terminal as tool for "Open terminal" functionality
- Ability to dissociated between container states using colors
- Refactored the entire application to support any container engine easily

All connectors now work, except Remote - still trying to figure how to handle those and if they make sense there.
