First release with the QEMU provider in the installer UI for new installs. gvproxy will not be explicitly mentioned in release notes from now on as it is has been always the one from Podman upstream for numerous releases already.

Included in this release

• QEMU 9.1.1 (this one includes 9pfs on Windows hosts patches and UEFI pflash fixes, if this functionality is not needed, then consider using official installer)

0.0.18

Highlights

First release based on Podman 5.2.0 codebase, which has removed support for 9p filesystems in QEMU. So, this release with QEMU driver doesn't support volume mounts and they should be explicitly disabled during podman machine init with -v "" arguments. Previous 9p support relied on unstable support in QEMU for Windows, so, it was not recommended in general, thus there is no immediate plan to reintroduce 9p support for Podmam and QEMU.

xz tool has been removed from the install scripts.

Known issues

• Doesn't publish UNIX socket for accessing Podman API, only named pipes will be published

Included in this release

• QEMU 9.0.2 (this one includes 9pfs on Windows hosts patches and UEFI pflash fixes, if this functionality is not needed, then consider using official installer)
• gvproxy same version bundled with Podman
• Podman 5.2.0-dev (555763c2a5b476a5ae91051322cd55d58f1488db) with patches to enable QEMU support on Windows

How to install

1. Download and install QEMU (from this release or official one version 7.2.0 or newer)
