Features

• The REST API and podman system service are no longer experimental, and ready for use!
• The Podman command now supports remotely connections via the REST API using the --remote flag.
• The Podman remote client has been entirely rewritten to use the HTTP API instead of Varlink.
• The podman system connection command has been added to allow configuring the endpoint that podman-remote and podman --remote will connect to.
• The podman generate systemd command now supports the --new flag when used with pods, allowing portable services for pods to be created.
• The podman play kube command now supports running Kubernetes Deployment YAML.
• The podman exec command now supports the --detach flag to run commands in the container in the background.
• The -p flag to podman run and podman create now supports forwarding ports to IPv6 addresses.
• The podman run, podman create and podman pod create command now support a --replace flag to remove and replace any existing container (or, for pod create, pod) with the same name
• The --restart-policy flag to podman run and podman create now supports the unless-stopped restart policy.
• The --log-driver flag to podman run and podman create now supports the none driver, which does not log the container's output.
• The --mount flag to podman run and podman create now accepts readonly option as an alias to ro.
• The podman generate systemd command now supports the --container-prefix, --pod-prefix, and --separator arguments to control the name of generated unit files.
• The podman network ls command now supports the --filter flag to filter results.
• The podman auto-update command now supports specifying an authfile to use when pulling new images on a per-container basis using the io.containers.autoupdate.authfile label.

Changes

• Varlink support, including the podman varlink command, is deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
• As part of the implementation of the REST API, JSON output for some commands (podman ps, podman images most notably) has changed.
• Named and anonymous volumes and tmpfs filesystems added to containers are no longer mounted noexec by default.

Bugfixes

• Fixed a bug where the podman exec command would log to journald when run in containers loggined to journald (#6555).
• Fixed a bug where the podman auto-update command would not preserve the OS and architecture of the original image when pulling a replacement (#6613).
• Fixed a bug where the podman cp command could create an extra merged directory when copying into an existing directory (#6596).
• Fixed a bug where the podman pod stats command would crash on pods run with --network=host (#5652).
• Fixed a bug where containers logs written to journald did not include the name of the container.
• Fixed a bug where the podman network inspect and podman network rm commands did not properly handle non-default CNI configuration paths (#6212).
• Fixed a bug where Podman did not properly remove containers when using the Kata containers OCI runtime.
• Fixed a bug where podman inspect would sometimes incorrectly report the network mode of containers started with --net=none.
• Podman is now better able to deal with cases where conmon is killed before the container it is monitoring.
