Changelog

   

    There are a few significant additions to this release:

    Native mounts that are more performant are now supported on some platforms/drivers. This is still considered experimental. The following describes which platform and driver combinations support this:

    The qemu driver on both Linux and macOS (both Intel and M1/M2)
    The hyperv driver on Windows
    Note: On Windows, due to having to use SMB, your user's password is required every time a mount is necessary including when starting an instance that already has a native mount defined. We are working on a way to make this better.
    How to define a native mount

    When issuing the multipass mount command, pass the -t native option to the command line and Multipass will use the native mount if you are using a supported platform and driver combination. For example:

    $ multipass mount -t native ~/Downloads foo:Downloads
    multipass transfer now allows transferring directories recursively using the -r/--recursiveoption and allows making any missing parent directories in the instance using the -p/--parents option.
    Instances now boot using UEFI allowing Multipass to support launching Ubuntu Core 20 and Core 22.
    Blueprints now allow command aliases to be defined along with the ability to create a workspace for host/instance integration.

    Notable bug fixes:

    [qemu] daemon starting instance twice if triggered on startup (#2520)
    sshfs_server not cleanly shut down when stopping an instance (#1132)
    sshfs_server gets in tight loop if host mount directory is missing on instance start (#1677)
    [gui] not reacting to primary instance being purged (#1241)
    Broken process substitution for multipass launch command (#1589)
    [lxd] Multipass not reacting correctly with internally shut down instances (#2672)
    [mounts] Repeated id/gid mappings (#2665)
    make multipass list --format csv|json|yaml output consistent (#2464)
    List cpu count in multipass info (#1804)
    multipass launch should allow --memory as a synonym of --mem (#2490)

Multipass is a lightweight VM manager for Linux, Windows, and macOS. It is geared for developers who want a fresh Ubuntu environment via a single command. It uses KVM on Linux, Hyper-V on Windows, and HyperKit on macOS to run the VM with minimal overhead. It can also use VirtualBox on Windows and macOS. Multipass will fetch images for you and keep them up to date.

Qemu to v. 7.2
Libssh to v. 0.10.4
POCO to v. 1.12.4

Changelog

A new Multipass release!

There are some significant changes in this release:

    This is the last release that will support the hyperkit driver on macOS. This version includes a way to migrate existing Hyperkit-based Multipass instances to Qemu-based Multipass instances. Simply issuing:
    $ multipass set local.driver=qemu
    is enough to migrate the Hyperkit instances. Also, please follow the instructions given at the multipass client command line.

    Important Note:
    Along with this, Apple dropped support for macOS 10.15 on September 12, 2022, so this will be the last Multipass minor release supporting macOS 10.15, ie, version 1.13 will only support macOS 11 and newer.

    When using native mounts on Windows, the password prompt every time is no longer necessary and makes for a much better user experience.

    The Snap package for Linux platforms is now based on core22.

    Snapcraft images are now available on Apple M1/M2.

Windows and macOS installers are available below, and the Snap in the stable snap channel :

snap refresh multipass --stable

or

snap install multipass --stable

Note about Snap 32-bit ARM support in Multipass

KVM support for 32-bit ARM was dropped beginning with the 5.7 Linux kernel. Since we moved to the core22 base Snap, the header we need for compiling Multipass is no longer available on 32-bit ARM, so we can no longer support this architecture. Sorry for any inconvenience on this matter.

More Highlights

    Updated a number of third party modules to newer release versions:

        QEMU to v8.0
        libssh to v0.10.4
        POCO to v1.12.4
        gRPC to v1.52.1

    multipass find is much more friendly when displaying regular images and Blueprints.
    More time is now allowed when shutting down QEMU instances to avoid corruption of the virtual disk.
    On Apple M1/M2, more than 8 cores and more than 4GB of memory may be allocated to instances.
