Today, we have cut a Podman 4.0rc4 release upstream.  We would love for people to begin testing this with their usual Podman usage.  Moreover, as has been shared at length over the last six months, Podman 4 will default to a new network stack developed by our team.  This is something we really would like people to test as networking has always been problematic for Podman.

I have posted a set of brief instructions for testing Podman 4 with its network stack.  Please consult https://podman.io/blogs/2022/02/04/network-usage.html for those instructions.

As usual, we would love your feedback.  Please submit a github issue should you find any problems -> https://github.com/containers/podman/issues

We are likely less than three weeks away from its final 4.0 release.  Any help the community can provide now will benefit the release and users of Podman 4.
