1.6.4

This release includes backports for the v1.6 stable branch of Podman.

Changes
* Remove `winsz` FIFO on container restart to allow use with Conmon 2.03 and higher
* Ensure volumes reacquire locks on system restart, preventing deadlocks when starting containers
* Suppress spurious log messages when running rootless Podman
* Update vendored containers/storage to v1.13.6
* Fix a deadlock related to writing events
* Do not use the journald event logger when it is not available

1.6.3

Features
- Handling of the `libpod.conf` configuration file has seen major changes. Most significantly, rootless users will no longer automatically receive a complete configuration file when they first use Podman, and will instead only receive differences from the global configuration.
- Initial support for the CNI DNS plugin, which allows containers to resolve the IPs of other containers via DNS name, has been added
- Podman now supports anonymous named volumes, created by specifying only a destination to the `-v` flag to the `podman create` and `podman run` commands
- Named volumes now support `uid` and `gid` options in `--opt o=...` to set UID and GID of the created volume

Bugfixes
- Fixed a bug where the `podman start` command would print container ID, instead of name, when starting containers given their name
- Fixed a bug where named volumes with options did not properly detect issues with mounting the volume, leading to an inconsistent state ([4303](https://github.com/containers/libpod/issues/4303))
- Fixed a bug where incorrect Seccomp profiles were used in containers generated by `podman play kube`
- Fixed a bug where processes started by `podman exec` would have the wrong SELinux label in some circumstances ([4361](https://github.com/containers/libpod/issues/4361))
- Fixed a bug where error messages from `slirp4netns` would be lost
- Fixed a bug where `podman run --network=$NAME` would not throw an error in rootless Podman, where CNI networks are not supported
- Fixed a bug where `podman network create` would throw confusing errors when trying to create a volume with a name that already exists
- Fixed a bug where Podman would not error if the `systemd` CGroup manager was specified, but systemd could not be contacted over DBus
- Fixed a bug where image volumes were mounted `noexec` ([4318](https://github.com/containers/libpod/issues/4318))
- Fixed a bug where the `podman stats` command required the name of a container to be given, instead of showing all containers when no container was specified ([4274](https://github.com/containers/libpod/issues/4274))
- Fixed a bug where the `podman volume inspect` command would not show the options that named volumes were created with
- Fixed a bug where custom storage configuration was not written to `storage.conf` at time of first creation for rootless Podman ([2659](https://github.com/containers/libpod/issues/2659))
- Fixed a bug where remote Podman did not support shell redirection of container output

Misc
- Updated vendored containers/image library to v5.0
- Initial support for images using manifest lists has been added, though commands for directly interacting with manifests are still missing
- Support for pushing to and pulling from OSTree has been removed due to deprecation in the containers/image library
- Rootless Podman no longer enables linger on systems with systemd as init by default. As such, containers will now be killed when the user who ran them logs out, unless linger is explicitly enabled using [loginctl](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/loginctl.html)
- Podman will now check the version of `conmon` that is in use to ensure it is sufficient

1.6.3rc1

First release candidate of the v1.6.3 release

1.6.2

Features
- Added a `--runtime` flag to `podman system migrate` to allow the OCI runtime for all containers to be reset, to ease transition to the `crun` runtime on CGroups V2 systems until `runc` gains full support
- The `podman rm` command can now remove containers in broken states which previously could not be removed
- The `podman info` command, when run without root, now shows information on UID and GID mappings in the rootless user namespace
- Added `podman build --squash-all` flag, which squashes all layers (including those of the base image) into one layer
- The `--systemd` flag to `podman run` and `podman create` now accepts a string argument and allows a new value, `always`, which forces systemd support without checking if the the container entrypoint is systemd

Bugfixes
- Fixed a bug where the `podman top` command did not work on systems using CGroups V2 ([4192](https://github.com/containers/libpod/issues/4192))
- Fixed a bug where rootless Podman could double-close a file, leading to a panic
- Fixed a bug where rootless Podman could fail to retrieve some containers while refreshing the state
- Fixed a bug where `podman start --attach --sig-proxy=false` would still proxy signals into the container
- Fixed a bug where Podman would unconditionally use a non-default path for authentication credentials (`auth.json`), breaking `podman login` integration with `skopeo` and other tools using the containers/image library
- Fixed a bug where `podman ps --format=json` and `podman images --format=json` would display `null` when no results were returned, instead of valid JSON
- Fixed a bug where `podman build --squash` was incorrectly squashing all layers into one, instead of only new layers
- Fixed a bug where rootless Podman would allow volumes with options to be mounted (mounting volumes requires root), creating an inconsistent state where volumes reported as mounted but were not ([4248](https://github.com/containers/libpod/issues/4248))
- Fixed a bug where volumes which failed to unmount could not be removed ([4247](https://github.com/containers/libpod/issues/4247))
- Fixed a bug where Podman incorrectly handled some errors relating to unmounted or missing containers in containers/storage
- Fixed a bug where `podman stats` was broken on systems running CGroups V2 when run rootless ([4268](https://github.com/containers/libpod/issues/4268))
- Fixed a bug where the `podman start` command would print the short container ID, instead of the full ID
- Fixed a bug where containers created with an OCI runtime that is no longer available (uninstalled or removed from the config file) would not appear in `podman ps` and could not be removed via `podman rm`
- Fixed a bug where containers restored via `podman container restore --import` would retain the CGroup path of the original container, even if their container ID changed; thus, multiple containers created from the same checkpoint would all share the same CGroup

Misc
- The default PID limit for containers is now set to 4096. It can be adjusted back to the old default (unlimited) by passing `--pids-limit 0` to `podman create` and `podman run`
- The `podman start --attach` command now automatically attaches `STDIN` if the container was created with `-i`
- The `podman network create` command now validates network names using the same regular expression as container and pod names
- The `--systemd` flag to `podman run` and `podman create` will now only enable systemd mode when the binary being run inside the container is `/sbin/init`, `/usr/sbin/init`, or ends in `systemd` (previously detected any path ending in `init` or `systemd`)
- Updated vendored Buildah to 1.11.3
- Updated vendored containers/storage to 1.13.5
- Updated vendored containers/image to 4.0.1

1.6.2rc1

This is the first release candidate for the v1.6.2 release.
