WSL Manager Files

New here? The 2.0.0 release notes carry the full picture — what WSL Manager 2 is, every feature, the download table and how Pro works. This release lists what changed since 2.2.0.

Experimental features, opt in

• Settings has a new Experimental features section. Containers, Kubernetes, Cloud, cloud-init and Playbooks are off until you switch them on there; a switch takes effect at once, in the navigation, in Settings and in the assistant's tools.
• cloud-init (new): write cloud-init configurations and seed new macOS VMs and WSL imports with them.
• Playbooks (new): describe an instance's state as code and apply it to existing instances.

AI

• Pro users can turn the AI features off entirely under Settings — the assistant, the diagnosis and the AI Workspace.
• The web dashboard now carries the AI assistant chat.
• Every AI Workspace tool is set up with the assistant's endpoint, key and model, and the tool cards no longer overflow on narrow windows.
• Each assistant run that changes an instance is saved as a snippet.

Fixed and improved

• Host folders can be shared into WSL distros, Apple VMs and the AI Workspace.
• macOS: file pickers open again.
• A copy bought in the Microsoft Store keeps Pro from the acquisition date the Store reports.

Downloads

Same as 2.0.0: Microsoft Store (recommended on Windows), the -setup.exe or portable .zip below, winget install Bostrot.WSLManager, and on Apple silicon the .dmg or brew install --cask bostrot/tap/wsl-manager.
