- update to 1.2.0 with following changes:
* binary is built reproducible which disables plugins
* Create the current working directory in a container when it doesn't exist.
This restores behavior as it was before singularity 3.6.0. As a result,
using --no-mount home won't have any effect when running apptainer from a
home directory and will require --no-mount home,cwd to avoid mounting that
directory.
* Handle current working directory paths containing symlinks both on the host
and in a container but pointing to different destinations. If detected, the
current working directory is not mounted when the destination directory in
the container exists.
* Destination mount points are now sorted by shortest path first to ensure
that a user bind doesn't override a previous bind path when set in
arbitrary order on the CLI. This is also applied to image binds.
* When the kernel supports unprivileged overlay mounts in a user namespace,
the container will be constructed by default using an overlay instead of an
underlay layout for bind mounts. A new --underlay action option can be used
to prefer underlay instead of overlay.
* sessiondir maxsize in apptainer.conf now defaults to 64 MiB for new
installations. This is an increase from 16 MiB in prior versions.
* The apptainer cache is now architecture aware, so the same home directory
cache can be shared by machines with different architectures.
* Overlay is blocked on the panfs filesystem, allowing sandbox directories to
be run from panfs without error.
* Lookup and store user/group information in stage one prior to entering any
namespaces, to fix an issue with winbind not correctly looking up
user/group information when using user namespaces.
- New features / functionalities
* Support for unprivileged encryption of SIF files using gocryptfs. This is
not compatible with privileged encryption, so containers encrypted by root
