Singularity was updated to version 2.6.0, bringing features, bugfixes and
security fixes.

Security issues fixed:

  • CVE-2018-12021: Fixed access control on systems supporting overlay file
    system (boo#1100333).

Highlights of 2.6.0:

  • Allow admin to specify a non-standard location for mksquashfs binary at
    build time with ‘–with-mksquashfs’ option #1662
  • ‘–nv’ option will use
    [nvidia-container-cli](<a href=“https://github.com/NVIDIA/libnvidia-container”>https://github.com/NVIDIA/libnvidia-container</a>) if
    installed #1681
  • [nvliblist.conf]
    (<a href=“https://github.com/singularityware/singularity/blob/master/etc/nvliblist.c”>https://github.com/singularityware/singularity/blob/master/etc/nvliblist.c</a>
    onf) now has a section for binaries #1681
  • ‘–nv’ can be made default with all action commands in singularity.conf
    #1681
  • ‘–nv’ can be controlled by env vars ‘$SINGULARITY_NV’ and
    ‘$SINGULARITY_NV_OFF’ #1681
  • Restore shim init process for proper signal handling and child reaping
    when container is initiated in its own PID namespace #1221
  • Add ‘-i’ option to image.create to specify the inode ratio. #1759
  • Bind ‘/dev/nvidia*’ into the container when the ‘–nv’ flag is used in
    conjuction with the ‘–contain’ flag #1358
  • Add ‘–no-home’ option to not mount user $HOME if it is not the $CWD and
    ‘mount home = yes’ is set. #1761
  • Added support for OAUTH2 Docker registries like Azure Container Registry
    #1622

Highlights of 2.5.2:

  • a new build command was added to replace create + bootstrap
  • default image format is squashfs, eliminating the need to specify a size
  • a localimage can be used as a build base, including ext3, sandbox, and
    other squashfs images
  • singularity hub can now be used as a base with the uri
  • Restore docker-extract aufs whiteout handling that implements correct
    extraction of docker container layers.

Bug fixes:

  • Fix 404 when using Arch Linux bootstrap #1731
  • Fix environment variables clearing while starting instances #1766
  • several more bug fixes, see CHANGELOG.md for details
