Update to 6.0.1:
The LXC team is pleased to announce the release of LXC 6.0.1!
This is the first bugfix release for LXC 6.0 which is supported
until June 2029.
As usual this bugfix releases focus on stability and hardening.
* Highlights
- Fixed some build tooling issues
- Fixed startup failures on system without IPv6 support
- Updated AppArmor rules to avoid potential warnings
Update to 6.0.0:
The LXC team is pleased to announce the release of LXC 6.0 LTS!
This is the result of two years of work since the LXC 5.0 release
and is the sixth LTS release for the LXC project. This release
will be supported until June 2029.
* New multi-call binary¶
A new tools-multicall=true configuration option can be used to
produce a single lxc binary which can then have all other
lxc-XYZ commands be symlinked to.
This allows for a massive disk space reduction, particularly
useful for embedded platforms.
* Add a set_timeout function to the library
A new set_timeout function is available on the main
lxc_container struct and allow for setting a global timeout for
interactions with the LXC monitor.
Prior to this, there was no timeout, leading to potential
deadlocks as there's also no way to cancel an monitor request.
As a result of adding this new symbol to the library, we have
bumped the liblxc symbol version to 1.8.0.
* LXC bridge now has IPV6 enabled
The default lxcbr0 bridge now comes with IPv6 enabled by
default, using an IPv6 ULA subnet.
Support for uid/gid selection in lxc-usernsexec
The lxc-usernsexec tool now has both -u and -g options to
control what resulting UID and GID (respectively) the user
wishes to use (defaulting to 0/0).
* Improvements to lxc-checkconfig
lxc-checkconfig now only shows the version if lxc-start is
present (rather than failing).
Additionally, it's seen a number of other cosmetic improvements
as well as now listing the maximum number of allowed namespaces
for every namespace type.
* Support for squashfs OCI images
The built-in oci container template can now handle squashfs
compressed OCI images through the use of atomfs.
* Switched from systemd's dbus to dbus-1
LXC now uses libdbus-1 for DBus interactions with systemd
rather than using libsystemd.
The reason for this change is that libdbus-1 is readily
available for static builds.
* Removed Upstart support
Support for the Upstart init system has finally been removed
from LXC.
This shouldn't really affect anyone at this stage and allowed
for cleaning up some logic and config files from our
repository.
