Multipass version 1.16.0

We're pleased to announce Multipass 1.16.0, where the entire code base became fully open source! This is a consolidation release, bringing a ton of improvements to our GUI, fixes to the Multipass daemon/service, as well as important security enhancements.

Notices 📣

  • Fully open source. Previously proprietary bits for Windows and macOS are now part of this repository.
  • Our documentation has been migrated to ReadTheDocs and included in this repository.
  • LXD and libvirt drivers are being deprecated, along with blueprints. The plan is to remove them in the next feature release.
  • This is also likely to be the last release that will support macOS 13.

Spotlight 🌟

  • Custom image launch! It is now supported on macOS and Windows too (with file:// or https:// URLs).
  • GUI improvements:
  • Facilitate reusing launch configurations with a button to "Launch and configure next"
  • Support zoom in the terminal (use Ctrl or together with +, -, or 0)
  • Support the QEMU driver on ARM Linux hosts

Other highlights ✨

  • Start VMs with the "Open shell" button
  • Remember window size + better default sizes
  • Improve copy-paste support
  • Improve gRPC security with standard mTLS
  • Update almost all our dependencies and move some more to Vcpkg
  • Fix 5 different crash conditions (#3978, [#4004], [#4006], [#4010], [#4016])
  • Fix issues with mounts, file transfer, and SSH (#3902, [#3971], [#3959], [#4007])
