• The PublishPort key in Quadlet .container and .pod files can now accept variables in its value (#24081).
• Quadlet .container files now support two new keys, CgroupsMode and StartWithPod, to configure cgroups for the container and whether the container will be started with the pod it is part of ([#23664](htt
  ps://github.com//issues/23664) and #24401).
• Quadlet .container files can now use the network of another container by specifying the .container file of the container to share with in the Network key.
• Quadlet .container files can now mount images managed by .image files into the container by using the Mount=type=image key with a .image target.
• Quadlet .pod files now support six new keys, DNS, DNSOption, DNSSearch, IP, IP6, and UserNS, to configure DNS, static IPs, and user namespace settings for the pod ([#23692](https://github.com/co\
  ntainers/podman/issues/23692)).
• Quadlet .image files can now give an image multiple times by specifying the ImageTag key multiple times (#23781).
• Quadlets can now be placed in the /run/containers/systemd directory as well as existing directories like $HOME/containers/systemd and /etc/containers/systemd/users.

• The output of the podman inspect command for containers now includes a new field, HostConfig.AutoRemoveImage, which shows whether a container was created with the --rmi option set.
• The output of the podman inspect command for containers now includes a new field, Config.ExposedPorts, which includes all exposed ports from the container, improving Docker compatibility.
• The output of the podman inspect command for containers now includes a new field, Config.StartupHealthCheck, which shows the container's startup healthcheck configuration.
• The podman machine list command now supports a new option, --all-providers, which lists machines from all supported VM providers, not just the one currently in use.
• VMs run by podman machine on Windows will now provide API access by exposing a Unix socket on the host filesystem which forwards into the VM (#23408).

• The Windows installer has a new radio button to select virtualization provider (WSLv2 or Hyper-V).
• The --add-host option to podman create, podman run, and podman pod create now supports specifying multiple hostnames, semicolon-separated (e.g. podman run --add-host test1;test2:192.168.1.1) (#2377
  0).
• The podman run and podman create commands now support three new options for configuring healthcheck logging: --health-log-destination (specify where logs are stored), --health-max-log-count (specify how many healthchecks worth of logs are stored), and --health-max-log-size (specify the maximum size of the healthcheck log).

Changes

• Podman now uses the Pasta --map-guest-addr option by default which is used for the host.containers.internal entry in /etc/hosts to allow containers to reach the host by default (#19213).

  odman/issues/23277)).
• The podman images --sort=repository command now also sorts by image tag as well, guaranteeing deterministic output ordering (#23803).
• When a user has a rootless podman machine VM running and second rootful podman machine VM initialized, and the rootless VM is removed, the connection to the second, rootful machine now becomes the default as expected (#22577).
• Environment variable secrets are no longer contained in the output of podman inspect on a container the secret is used in (#23788).
• Podman no longer exits 0 on SIGTERM by default.
• Podman no longer explicitly sets rlimits to their default value, as this could lower the actual value available to containers if it had been set higher previously.
• Quadlet user units now correctly wait for the network to be ready to use via a new service, podman-user-wait-network-online.service, instead of the user session's nonfunctional network-online.target.
• Exposed ports in the output of podman ps are now correctly grouped and deduplicated when they are also published (#23317).
• Quadlet build units no longer use RemainAfterExit=yes by default.

v5.3.0-RC1

This is the first release candidate of Podman v5.3.0. Release notes will be provided next week in Podman v5.3.0-rc2.

v5.2.5

Security

• This release addresses CVE-2024-9675, which allows arbitrary access to the host filesystem from RUN --mount type=cache arguments to a Dockerfile being built.
• This release also addresses CVE-2024-9676, which allows malicious images with a symlink /etc/passwd or /etc/group to potentially cause a denial of service through reading a FIFO on the host.

Misc

• Updated Buildah to v1.37.5
• Updated the containers/storage library to v1.55.1

v5.2.4

Security

• This release addresses CVE-2024-9407, which allows arbitrary access to the host filesystem from RUN --mount arguments to a Dockerfile being built.
• This release also addresses CVE-2024-9341, allowing the mounting of arbitrary directories from the host into containers on FIPS enabled systems using a malicious image with crafted symlinks.

Misc

• Updated Buildah to v1.37.4
• Updated the containers/common library to v0.60.4

v5.2.3

Bugfixes

• Fixed a bug that could cause network namespaces to fail to unmount, resulting in Podman commands hanging.
• Fixed a bug where Podman could not run images which included SCTP exposed ports.
• Fixed a bug where containers run by the root user, but inside a user namespace (including inside a container), could not use the pasta network mode.
• Fixed a bug where volume copy-up did not properly chown empty volumes when the :idmap mount option was used.

Misc

• Updated Buildah to v1.37.3

v5.2.2

Bugfixes

• Fixed a bug where rootless Podman could fail to validate the runtime's volume path on systems with a symlinked /home (#23515).

Misc

• Updated Buildah to v1.37.2
• Updated the containers/common library to v0.60.2
• Updated the containers/image library to v5.32.2

v5.2.1

Bugfixes

• Fixed a bug where Podman could sometimes save an incorrect container state to the database, which could cause a number of issues including but not limited to attempting to clean up containers twice (#21569).

Misc

• Updated Buildah to v1.37.1
• Updated the containers/common library to v0.60.1
• Updated the containers/image library to v5.32.1

v5.2.0

Features

• Podman now supports libkrun as a backend for creating virtual machines on MacOS. The libkrun backend has the advantage of allowing GPUs to be mounted into the virtual machine to accelerate tasks. The default backend remains applehv.
• Quadlet now has support for .build files, which allows images to be built by Quadlet and then used by Quadlet containers.
• Quadlet .container files now support two new fields, LogOpt to specify container logging configuration and StopSignal to specify container stop signal (#23050).
• Quadlet .container and .pod files now support a new field, NetworkAlias, to add network aliases.
• Quadlet drop-in search paths have been expanded to include top-level type drop-ins (container.d, pod.d) and truncated unit drop-ins (unit-.container.d) (#23158).
• Podman now supports a new command, podman system check, which will identify (and, if possible, correct) corruption within local container storage.
• The podman machine reset command will now reset all providers available on the current operating system (e.g. ensuring that both HyperV and WSL podman machine VMs will be removed on Windows).

Changes

• Podman now requires the new kernel mount API, introducing a dependency on Linux Kernel v5.2 or higher.
• Quadlet .image units now have a dependency on network-online.target (#21873).
• The --device option to podman create and podman run is no longer ignored when --privileged is also specified (#23132).
• The podman start and podman stop commands no longer print the full ID of the pod started/stopped, but instead the user's input used to specify the pod (e.g. podman pod start b will print b instead of the pod's full ID) (#22590).
• Virtual machines created by podman machine on Linux now use virtiofs instead of 9p for mounting host filesystems. Existing mounts will be transparently changed on machine restart or recreation. This should improve performance and reliability of host mounts. This requires the installation of virtiofsd on the host system to function.
• Using both the --squash and --layers=false options to podman build at the same time is now allowed.
• Podman now passes container's stop timeout to systemd when creating cgroups, causing it to be honored when systemd stops the scope. This should prevent hangs on system shutdown due to running Podman containers.
• The --volume-driver option to podman machine init is now deprecated.

Bugfixes

• Fixed a bug where rootless containers created with the --sdnotify=healthy option could panic when started (#22651).
• Fixed a bug where containers created with the --sdnotify=healthy option that exited quickly would sometimes return an error instead of notifying that the container was ready (#22760).
• Fixed a bug where the podman system reset command did not remove the containers/image blob cache (#22825).
• Fixed a bug where Podman would sometimes create a cgroup for itself even when the --cgroups=disabled option was specified at container creation time (#20910).
• Fixed a bug where the /etc/hosts file in a container was not created with a newline at the end of the file (#22729).
• Fixed a bug where the podman start command could sometimes panic when starting a container in the stopped state.
• Fixed a bug where the podman system renumber command would fail if volumes existed when using the sqlite database backend (#23052).
• Fixed a bug where the podman container restore command could not successfully restore a container in a pod.
• Fixed a bug where an error message from podman diff would suggest using the --latest option when using the remote Podman client (#23038).
• Fixed a bug where user could assign more memory to a Podman machine than existed on the host (#18206).
• Fixed a bug where the podman events command was rarely unable to report errors that occurred (#23165).
• Fixed a bug where containers run in systemd units would sometimes not be removed correctly on exit when using the --cidfile option.
• Fixed a bug where the first Podman command run after a reboot could cause hang when using transient mode (#22984).
• Fixed a bug where Podman could throw errors about a database configuration mismatch if certain paths did not exist on the host.
• Fixed a bug where the podman run and podman start commands could throw strange errors if another Podman process stopped the container at a midpoint in the process of starting (#23246).
• Fixed a bug where the podman system service command could leak a mount on termination.
• Fixed a bug where the Podman remote client would panic if an invalid image filter was passed to podman images (#23120).
• Fixed a bug where the podman auto-update and podman system df commands could fail when a container was removed while the command was running (#23279).
• Fixed a bug where the podman machine init command could panic when trying to decompress an empty file when preparing the VM image (#23281).
• Fixed a bug where the podman ps --pod and podman pod stats commands could sometimes fail when a pod was removed while the command was running (#23282).
• Fixed a bug where the podman stats and podman pod stats commands would sometimes exit with a container is stopped error when showing all containers (or pod containers, for pod stats) if a container stopped while the command was running (#23334).
• Fixed a bug where the output of container healthchecks was not properly logged if it did not include a final newline (#23332).
• Fixed a bug where the port forwarding firewall rules of an existing container could be be overwritten when starting a second container which forwarded the same port on the host even if the second container failed to start as the port was already bound.
• Fixed a bug where the containers created by the podman play kube command could sometimes not properly clean up their network stacks (#21569).

API

• The Build API for Images now accepts a comma-separated list in the Platform query parameter, allowing a single API call to built an image for multiple architectures (#22071).
• Fixed a bug where the Remove endpoint for Volumes would return an incorrectly formatted error when called with an ambiguous volume name (#22616).
• Fixed a bug where the Stats endpoint for Containers would return an incorrectly formatted error when called on a container that did not exist (#22612).
• Fixed a bug where the Start endpoint for Pods would return a 409 error code in cases where a 500 error code should have been returned (#22989).
• Fixed a bug where the Top endpoint for Pods would return a 200 status code and then subsequently an error (#22986).

Misc

• Podman no longer requires all parent directories of its root and runroot to be world-executable (#23028).
• Error messages from the podman build command when the -f option is given, but points to a file that does not exist, have been improved (#22940).
• The Podman windows installer is now built using WiX 5.
