• Support for configuration file as an alternative to cli flags.
• Added runtime and ip address to output of list command.
• New --cpu-type flag for custom qemu cpu type. Fixes #248

• New --layer flag to add Ubuntu container as convenience option to mimic an Ubuntu VM.

Kubernetes (k3s)

• Update to v1.23.6+k3s1
• New --kubernetes-ingress flag to toggle traefik. Fixes #133
• Support for configurable k3s version. Fixes #46

Volumes

• Support for 9p volumes (requires Lima v0.10.0). Fixes #192, #102, #83, #65, #54.
• New --mount-type flag for specifying volume driver (sshfs, 9p). Still temporarily defaults to sshfs due to lack of support for host-created symlinks on 9p volumes.
• Change shortflag for volume mounts to -V to free up -v for verbose output.
