A new Multipass release!
This release includes the much sought after support for snapshots of instances! With this, you will be able to create an instance, configure it as you see fit, and then take a snapshot of it so you don't have to start from scratch in case something goes wrong with your instance and need to start over. For more information about snapshots, you can read the documentation here.
classic mounts to use std::filesystem instead of QFile. This avoids some bugs in Qt along with using more of the stdlib when we can.Windows and macOS installers are available below, and the Snap in the stable snap channel:
snap refresh multipass --stable
# or
snap install multipass --stable
As forewarned in the 1.12.0 release notes, this release only supports macOS 11 and newer.
Also, the hyperkit driver is not available in this release, so if you are still using Hyperkit instances, you will either need to migrate them using 1.12 or not upgrade to 1.13.
You can find the full list of changes since 1.13.0 in our v1.13.0 milestone and even more detailed in the full commit log.

There are some significant changes in this release:
This is the last release that will support the hyperkit driver on macOS. This version includes a way to migrate existing Hyperkit-based Multipass instances to Qemu-based Multipass instances. Simply issuing:
$ multipass set local.driver=qemu
is enough to migrate the Hyperkit instances. Also, please follow the instructions given at the multipass client command line.
Important Note: Along with this, Apple dropped support for macOS 10.15 on September 12, 2022, so this will be the last Multipass minor release supporting macOS 10.15, ie, version 1.13 will only support macOS 11 and newer.
When using native mounts on Windows, the password prompt every time is no longer necessary and makes for a much better user experience.
The Snap package for Linux platforms is now based on core22.
Snapcraft images are now available on Apple M1/M2.
Windows and macOS installers are available below, and the Snap in the stable snap channel:
snap refresh multipass --stable
or
snap install multipass --stable
Note about Snap 32-bit ARM support in Multipass
KVM support for 32-bit ARM was dropped beginning with the 5.7 Linux kernel. Since we moved to the core22 base Snap, the header we need for compiling Multipass is no longer available on 32-bit ARM, so we can no longer support this architecture. Sorry for any inconvenience on this matter.
