Highlights

This is an incremental stability release with bug fixes and features.

Updates

• New --downloader flag to retain curl for downloads. Supports curl or native (default).
• Force stop with colima stop --force no longer attempts to stop the container runtime before stopping VM.
• Support for user-provided containerd and buildkit config for the Containerd runtime.
• Nested virtualization is now supported with krunkit vm type.
• Soft delete (i.e. colima delete without --force) is now properly supported on Incus runtime, and container data would be auto-restored on recreation.
• Cache directory can now be customized with the COLIMA_CACHE_HOME environment variable. The cache directory stores the downloaded assets used by Colima.
• Network address is now supported for the krunkit vm type.
• Runtime is now displayed in colima list for stopped instances.
• Custom generated disk images can now be used by setting the --force-disk-image flag in addition to --disk-image flag. The image must be a debian based distro with systemd. Note that this is for power users and not officially supported.
