The final release of Apptainer 1.5.0 is now available!
Like the release candidates, there are many new features along with some slightly changed behaviors and some bug fixes. Some of the highlights since 1.4.x are:
1. Support for Container Device Interface descriptions.
2. Support for Intel Gaudi accelerators.
3. Ability to create SIF files directly from Dockerfile definitions.
4. Support for downloading from IPFS gateways.
5. New `--no-env` option to block importing selected environment variables.
6. New build `--data` option to build data-only SIF files.
7. Ability to prepend and append to container's LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
8. Ability to make completely reproducible SIF images.
