• The podman machine init command now pulls images as OCI artifacts, instead of using HTTP. As a result, a valid policy.json file is required on the host. Windows and Mac installers have been changed to install this file.
• QEMU is no longer a supported VM provider for podman machine on Mac. Instead, the native Apple hypervisor is supported.
• The ConfigPath and Image fields are no longer provided by the podman machine inspect command. Users can also no longer use {{ .ConfigPath }} or {{ .Image }} as arguments to podman machine inspect --format.
• The output of podman inspect for containers has seen a number of breaking changes to improve Docker compatibility, including changing Entrypoint from a string to an array of strings and StopSignal from an int to a string.
• The podman inspect command for containers now returns nil for healthchecks when inspecting containers without healthchecks.
• The podman pod inspect command now outputs a JSON array regardless of the number of pods inspected (previously, inspecting a single pod would omit the array).

• The output of podman events --format "{{json .}}" has been changed to improve Docker compatibility, including the time and timeNano fields (#14993).
• The name of podman machine VMs and the username used within the VM are now validated and must match this regex: [a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9_.-]*.
• Using multiple filters with the List Images REST API now combines the filters with AND instead of OR, improving Docker compatibility (#18412).
• The parsing for a number of Podman CLI options which accept arrays has been changed to no longer accept string-delineated lists, and instead to require the option to be passed multiple times. These options are --annotation to podman manifest annotate and podman manifest add, the --configmap, --log-opt, and --annotation options to podman kube play, the --pubkeysfile option to podman image trust set, the --encryption-key and --decryption-key options to podman create, podman run, podman push and podman pull, the --env-file option to podman exec, the --bkio-weight-device, --device-read-bps, --device-write-bps --device-read-iops, --device-write-iops, --device, --label-file, --chrootdirs, --log-opt, and --env-file options to podman create and podman run, and the --hooks-dir and --module global options.

Changes

• The podman system reset command no longer waits for running containers to gracefully stop, and instead immediately sends SIGKILL (#21874).
• The podman network inspect command now includes running containers using the network in its output (#14126).
• The podman compose command is now supported on non-AMD64/ARM64 architectures.
• VMs created by podman machine will now pass HTTP proxy environment variables into the VM for all providers.
• The --no-trunc option to the podman kube play and podman kube generate commands has been deprecated. Podman now complies to the Kubernetes specification for annotation size, removing the need for this option.
• The DOCKER_HOST environment variable will be set by default for rootless users when podman-docker is installed.
• Connections from podman system connection and farms from podman farm are now written to a new configuration file called podman-connections.conf. As a result, Podman no longer writes to containers.conf. Existing connections from containers.conf will still be respected.
• Most podman farm subcommands (save for podman farm build) no longer need to connect to the machines in the farm to run.
• The podman create and podman run commands no longer require specifying an entrypoint on the command line when the container image does not define one. In this case, an empty command will be passed to the OCI runtime, and the resulting behavior is runtime-specific.
• The default SELinux label for content mounted from the host in podman machine VMs on Mac is now system_u:object_r:nfs_t:s0 so that it can be shared with all containers without issue.
• Newly-created VMs created by podman machine will now share a single SSH key key for access. As a result, podman machine rm --save-keys is deprecated as the key will persist by default.

Bugfixes

• Fixed a bug where the podman stats command would not show network statistics when the pasta network mode was used.
• Fixed a bug where podman machine VMs using the HyperV provider could not mount shares on directories that did not yet exist.
• Fixed a bug where the podman compose command did not respect the --connection and --url options.
• Fixed a bug where the podman stop -t -1 command would wait for 0 seconds, not infinite seconds, before sending SIGKILL (#21811).
• Fixed a bug where Podman could deadlock when cleaning up a container when the slirp4netns network mode was used with a restart policy of always or `unless...
