Highlights of 2.6.0:
- Allow admin to specify a non-standard location for mksquashfs binary at
build time with '--with-mksquashfs' option #1662
- '--nv' option will use
[nvidia-container-cli](https://github.com/NVIDIA/libnvidia-container) if
installed #1681
- [nvliblist.conf]
(https://github.com/singularityware/singularity/blob/master/etc/nvliblist.conf)
now has a section for binaries #1681
- '--nv' can be made default with all action commands in singularity.conf #1681
- '--nv' can be controlled by env vars '$SINGULARITY_NV' and
'$SINGULARITY_NV_OFF' #1681
- Restore shim init process for proper signal handling and child reaping when
container is initiated in its own PID namespace #1221

conjuction with the '--contain' flag #1358

Highlights of 2.5.2:
- a new `build` command was added to replace `create` +
`bootstrap`

specify a size
- a `localimage` can be used as a build base, including ext3,
sandbox, and other squashfs images
- singularity hub can now be used as a base with the uri
- Restore docker-extract aufs whiteout handling that implements
correct extraction of docker container layers.
