Buildah version 1.34.0 Release Announcement

We’re pleased to announce the release of Buildah version 1.34.0, which is now available from GitHub for any Linux distro. We are shipping this release on 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 is a quick turnaround release to shrink the size of the Buildah image via changes to the new HereDoc code.

This release comprises changes made for v1.34.0 and will be included in Podman v4.9.
