v0.7.0

Highlights

This release properly addresses the slow startup issue with VZ driver with a reworked disk image download and expansion.

Other Features

• Image download and disk expansion now handled by Colima directly with consistent UX to other asset downloads.
• Each runtime now has dedicated disk images for lighter downloads, rather than a bundled image.
• Introduction of Incus runtime --runtime=incus. Incus utilises LXC to run system containers.
• Introduction of none runtime --runtime=none to utilise Colima solely as a headless virtual machine manager.
• A warning is now displayed for fixed configs that are discarded when changed. Virtual machine type, architecture, runtime and volume mount type cannot be changed after the virtual machine is created.
• $XDG_CONFIG_HOME (if set) is now respected for configuration directory on macOS.
• Dynamic disk resize is now enabled for VZ virtual machine type. It was previously only available to QEMU instances.
• Update Docker to v27.1.1.
• Update k3s to v1.30.2+k3s1.
• Bug fixes for #1081, #1063, #1025, #930.
