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.
