Description:
Version
7.0 of the Incus container and
virtual-machine management system has been released. Notable changes in this release include the inclusion of a low-level backup API, the addition
of basic S3 operations directly in Incus to replace the now-unmaintained
MinIO project, as well as the removal of support for
cgroups v1 and xtables (iptables/ip6tables/ebtables). This is a long-term-support (LTS) release, with support through June 2031. The first 2 years will feature bug and security fixes as well as minor
usability improvements, delivered through occasional point releases
(7.0.x). After that initial two years, Incus 7.0 LTS will move to security only
maintenance for the remaining of its 5 years of support. A total of 204 individuals contributed to Incus between the 6.0 LTS and 7.0
LTS releases with 45 contributing between the 6.23 and 7.0 LTS releases.
