v0.14.0-beta.1

This release adds an experimental support for Apple's Virtualization.framework aka vz.

limactl start template://experimental/vz

Pros:

• Supports faster filesystem sharing (virtiofs)
• Supports faster emulation for running Linux/x86_64 ELF binaries on ARM (Rosetta 2)

Cons:

• No support for legacy BIOS
• The boot log is not available in serial.log
• The source code of Virtualization.framework does not seem available

Using Virtualization.framework with Lima needs macOS 13.0 or later.

Changes

(To be documented)
