Buildah version 1.31.0 Release Announcement
We’re pleased to announce the release of Buildah version 1.31.0, which is now available from GitHub for any Linux distro. We are shipping this release on Fedora 37, Fedora 38, and Fedora 39. Buildah will also be shipped on CentOS, OpenSUSE, and Ubuntu soon. In addition, container images will be available at https://quay.io/repository/buildah/stable and https://quay.io/repository/containers/buildah.
The Buildah project has continued to grow over the past several weeks, welcoming several new contributors to the mix. This release features notable enhancements:
- Buidlah now supports pasta as network mode like podman.
- Slirp4netns now uses the options from containers.conf and uses ipv6 by default.
- Buildah now reads the default_rootless_network_cmd containers.conf option to get the default rootless network program.
- The device mapper storage driver support has been removed.
This release comprises changes made for v1.31.0 and will be included in Podman v4.5.
