Light Mode 💡

We're excited to announce the arrival of our most-requested feature: light
mode! You can now enjoy a brighter interface by toggling the light mode
option in the Settings > Preferences section. Thank you for your patience
as we continue to implement light mode for better accessibility! Please
note, this feature is currently experimental as we continue to optimize the
rest of Podman Desktop for this new mode.

macOS Rosetta Support for Apple Silicon
<https://podman-desktop.io/blog/podman-desktop-release-1.11#macos-rosetta-...>
Podman Desktop 1.11 proudly introduces support for macOS Rosetta,
facilitating seamless integration with Apple Silicon. This update, part of
Podman 5.1, allows users to enable or disable Rosetta support directly
through the Podman Settings. With this enhancement, running AMD64 image
builds or containers achieves speeds that are nearly identical to those
experienced on ARM64 architectures. For more details on the implementation,
visit the GitHub podman pull request
<https://github.com/containers/podman/pull/21670>.
Kubernetes Enhancements
<https://podman-desktop.io/blog/podman-desktop-release-1.11#kubernetes-enh...>
In our latest release, we've enhanced Kubernetes functionality by adding
node and volume listings. This update aims to improve your Kubernetes
management experience within Podman Desktop.

User Interface Improvements
<https://podman-desktop.io/blog/podman-desktop-release-1.11#user-interface...>
Take a moment to appreciate the upgraded user interface of Podman Desktop.
You'll find that the container listing section, among others, has received
significant enhancements, elevating your overall user experience.
Enhanced Manifest Support
<https://podman-desktop.io/blog/podman-desktop-release-1.11#enhanced-manif...>
We've made strides in how we handle manifest images. Multi-arch images are
now grouped under the manifest, simplifying the process and enhancing
efficiency.
