Unreleased

v1-alpha.16 - 2025-01-16

Fixed

Run brew update without --preinstall, as it was removed from Homebrew since a while and 4.4.16 started rejecting it. (#45)

v1-alpha.15 - 2024-11-27

Added

Support for native virtualization provided by macOS Virtualization framework. In detail, now Lima VMs are configured to use vz as the VM type and virtiofs for mounts. This change leads to significant stability and performance improvements (#42).
Support for passing custom parameters to the colima start command through the colima-additional-options input field. Please use this field carefully, as a wrong, obsolete, or unsupported set of options may break Colima startup (#43).

Removed

Support for QEMU virtualization, which has historically been fragile and hard to maintain. The related upgrade-qemu config flag has also been removed (#42).

v1-alpha.14 - 2024-09-19

Fixed

Pin the version of QEMU to 9.0.2 to avoid an issue with version 9.1.0 that prevents the Colima VM from starting (#40).

Removed

Support for macos-13 action runners has been removed as even with QEMU 9.0.2 the Colima VM fails to start. This might be readded in the future if the issue is fixed (#40).

v1-alpha.13 - 2024-03-18

Fixed

Added workaround for Python conflict in Github Action runner images (#34).

v1-alpha.12 - 2024-02-01

Added

Fail fast when running on arm64 macOS runners (macos-14 public runners) (#28).
- None of the arm64 processors on Apple computers support nested virtualization as of today (Feb 1st 2024).

v1-alpha.11 - 2024-01-05

Added

Allow Colima to be started with --network-address (#22).
Add Lima and Colima versions as inputs (#24).

Changed

Allow Colima to use more resources (#25).

v1-alpha.10 - 2023-09-04

Changed

Improve reliability of action (#19)
- Colima and Lima binaries are now downloaded straight from their Github Release pages
- By default, use brew only to install the Docker client and Docker Compose.
- QEMU is now installed (using brew) only if it's not already present.
- QEMU is upgraded (using brew) only if the input upgrade-qemu is set to "true".
- Detects when QEMU's installed from brew's bottle 8.1.0, which has an issue in the binary's signature, and reinstalls it.

v1-alpha.9 - 2023-08-21

Fixed

Reinstall QEMU as a workaround for actions/runner-images#8104 even when cache is restored (#14).

v1-alpha.8 - 2023-08-21

Initial release with a changelog. A bit late, sorry.
