Announcing Incus 6.8!

[Stéphane Graber]

Hello,

The Incus team is very excited to announce the release of Incus 6.8!

This is the last release for 2024 but it still packs a punch with a
bunch of VM related improvements, including the ability to move a
running VM between storage pools, a new authorization backend,
improvements to volume handling for application containers and more.

The full list of new features for this release of Incus are:

- Storage live migration for VMs
- Authorization scriptlet
- Console screenshots for VMs
- Initial owner and mode for custom storage volumes
- Small updates to the OpenFGA model
- Image alias reuse on import
- New incus-simplestreams prune command
- Console access locking
