[image: podman-desktop-fall-1.22] Podman Desktop 1.22 is now available. Click here to download it <https://podman-desktop.io/downloads>! This release introduces exciting new features, improvements and bug fixes: - *Explore Features Section on the Dashboard*: Accelerates your onboarding experience #13776 <https://github.com/podman-desktop/podman-desktop/pull/13776> - *Switching Podman Machines Between Rootless and Rootful (macOS and Windows Only)*: Simplifies Podman machine configuration #12781 <https://github.com/podman-desktop/podman-desktop/pull/12781> - *Apply Kubernetes YAML Files with Ease*: Allows you to apply YAML without creating a file in the local filesystem #13751 <https://github.com/podman-desktop/podman-desktop/pull/13751> - *Transparent Proxy Support*: Configures your CA certificates for all HTTP/HTTPS requests to avoid self signed certificate errors #13789 <https://github.com/podman-desktop/podman-desktop/pull/13789> - *Include ARM64 Podman Installer for Windows*: Provides a Podman installer for Windows running on the ARM64 platform #13815 <https://github.com/podman-desktop/podman-desktop/pull/13815> ------------------------------ Release detailsExplore Features Section on the Dashboard The new Explore Features section on the Podman Desktop Dashboard helps you quickly discover and use key features, accelerating your onboarding experience. From this intuitive section, you can easily: - Create containers - Manage Kubernetes resources - Browse the Extensions Catalog - Configure Docker compatibility [image: Explore Features Section on the Dashboard] Switching Podman Machines Between Rootless and Rootful (macOS and Windows Only) Podman allows containers to run in rootful (privileged) or rootless (non-privileged) modes, balancing security, flexibility, and system access. Now you can toggle an existing Podman machine between these modes using a simple “Run with root privileges” switch in the UI, eliminating the need to recreate the machine. [image: Switching Podman Machines Between Rootless and Rootful] Apply Kubernetes YAML Files with Ease The new 'Create File from Scratch' option on the Play Kubernetes YAML page provides an integrated text editor where you can write YAML from scratch or paste existing YAML artifacts. With syntax highlighting and validation, the editor ensures accurate YAML creation and reduces deployment errors. To use it, navigate to the Play Kubernetes YAML page, select 'Create File from Scratch', paste or write your YAML, and click 'Apply' to deploy to your cluster. This enhancement simplifies Kubernetes resource management, enabling developers to deploy pods, services, or other resources efficiently in both local and remote cluster environments. [image: Apply Kubernetes YAML Files with Ease] Transparent Proxy Support To ensure applications work seamlessly with transparent proxies, developers must configure the client environment appropriately. This typically involves adding the transparent proxy’s CA certificate to the system’s certificate store. Podman Desktop now leverages these CA certificates for HTTPS requests, eliminating the Self signed certificate in certificate chain error when downloading CLI tools or interacting with services outside the local network. This enhancement simplifies workflows in enterprise environments with transparent proxies, ensuring smooth access to external resources and streamlined CLI tool management. Include arm64 Podman Installer for Windows Starting with Podman v5.5, native ARM64 binaries are available for Windows, enabling better performance and compatibility on ARM-based devices. Podman Desktop now includes both ARM64 and AMD64 Podman installers, automatically selecting the appropriate version based on your system architecture. This enhancement ensures a seamless setup experience for Windows users on modern ARM64 devices. ------------------------------ Community Thank You 🎉 We’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who helped to make Podman Desktop even better.
