Hello everyone, It's with great pleasure that the LXC development team is announcing the release of LXC 2.0! This is the result of over a year of work from upstream LXC and was made of over 700 commits by over 90 contributors! It also joins LXCFS which got its own 2.0 release last week and will very soon be joined by LXD 2.0. Those three combined make for a new, completely reworked, user experience while still keeping full backward compatibility for our existing users who do not wish to upgrade to LXD. All our Long Term Support releases benefit from a 5 years support commitment which for the 2.0 means until the 1st of June 2021. During those 5 years we will be publishing occasional bugfix and security releases made from backported fixes from our development branch. LXC 2.0 includes a cleaner user experience, more reliable checkpoint/restore of containers, improved cgroup handling and a lot of bugfixes. It is also worth noting that the liblxc library shipped in 2.0 is still fully backward compatible with that released in LXC 1.0 two years ago. A detailed release announcement may be found here: https://linuxcontainers.org/news The release tarballs may be found at https://linuxcontainers.org/downloads or you may just wait a few days for your favorite distribution to package this new LXC release. Our git repository and bug tracker are on Github: https://github.com/lxc/lxc Additional information on LXC itself may be found on our website: https://linuxcontainers.org And we have mailing-lists for user questions and for development (patches): https://lists.linuxcontainers.org We hope you'll enjoy this new release as much as we do! Stéphane Graber On behalf of the LXC development team
