The changes in this release include
New features:
- The btrfs filesystem can now be used on LVM and Ceph storage pools
- Our internal “lxd-benchmark” tool is now a first class utility
- “lxd-benchmark” can now generate performance reports
- It’s now possible to move a running container in the background,
only stopping it at the last minute (using --stateless option) - A new “ceph.osd.force_reuse” storage pool property was added to
limit accidental import of used Ceph pools
