Canonical Releases Multipass 1.16 As Now Fully Open-Source Project
Ubuntu maker Canonical today released Multipass 1.16 stable for this Linux / Windows / macOS means of deploying Ubuntu VM instances using this lightweight VM manager built atop Linux's KVM, Windows' Hyper-V, and QEMU on macOS. Notable with Multipass 1.16 is that it's now fully open-source software.
As outlined last month during the 1.16 RC1 announcement, Multipass is now fully open-source software. Multipass was open-source but with some macOS and Windows bits being proprietary. But with the v1.16 milestone it's now fully open-source and all integrated into their public GitHub repository.
Being Multipass 1.16 going fully open-source, Multipass 1.16 also brings documentation improvements, deprecates the LXD and libvirt drivers, custom image launch support on Windows and macOS, and various GUI improvements. There is also better copy-paste support, improved gRPC security, and other enhancements to this lightweight VM manager designed for Ubuntu needs.
