Announcing Incus 0.5!

[Stéphane Graber]

Hello,

I'm very excited to announce the release of Incus 0.5!

This is our first release of 2024 and it's a pretty busy one!

With Incus, you can easily create and manage both containers and
virtual-machines on a standalone system or a cluster of machines.
It provides a variety of storage and networking options with the goal to feel
like you're interacting with a cloud, but all locally.

The highlights for this fourth release of Incus are:
- New "incus file create" command
- New "incus snapshot show" command
- Better support for 32bit virtual machines
- Support for virtio-blk for virtual machine disks
- New cluster evacuation options

You can give Incus a try online:
