Hello,

The Incus team is very excited to announce the release of Incus 6.3!

The main highlight for this release is native support for OCI images,
allowing Incus users to now run Docker or other OCI application
container images alongside regular system containers and virtual machines.

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 release of Incus are:
- Initial support for OCI application containers
- Baseline CPU definition within clusters
- Filesystem support for io.bus and io.cache
- Improvements to incus top
- CPU flags in server resources
- Unified image support in incus-simplestreams
- Completion of libovsdb transition
