    • note that from 1.4.0 onwards this will be the default behaviour for all the new containers created
  • New distrobox ephemeral command, to quickly spawn, use and delete a container. All-in-one.
  • New install-podman script to install Podman in $HOME. Handy for @ValveSoftware SteamDeck users
  • Distrobox-host-exec now uses exclusively the host-spawn command from @1player
