A new Multipass release!
There are a few significant additions to this release:
Native mounts that are more performant are now supported on some platforms/drivers. This is still considered experimental. The following describes which platform and driver combinations support this:
qemu
driver on both Linux and macOS (both Intel and M1/M2)hyperv
driver on WindowsNote: On Windows, due to having to use SMB, your user's password is required every time a mount is necessary, including when starting an instance that already has a native mount defined. We are working on a way to make this better.
How to define a native mount
When issuing the multipass mount
command, pass the --type native
option to the command line and Multipass will use the native mount if you are using a supported platform and driver combination. For example:
$ multipass mount --type native ~/Downloads foo:Downloads
multipass transfer
now allows transferring directories recursively using the -r
/--recursive
option and allows making any missing parent directories in the instance using the -p
/--parents
option.
Instances now boot using UEFI allowing Multipass to support launching Ubuntu Core 20 and Core 22.
Blueprints now allow command aliases to be defined along with the ability to create a workspace for host/instance integration.
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: Starting with this version, Multipass only supports macOS 10.15 and higher.
Notable bug fixes:
You can find the full list of changes since 1.10.1 in our v1.11.0 milestone and even more detailed in the full commit log.
