0.0.18

Highlights

First release based on Podman 5.2.0 codebase, which has removed support for 9p filesystems in QEMU. So, this release with QEMU driver doesn't support volume mounts and they should be explicitly disabled during podman machine init with -v "" arguments. Previous 9p support relied on unstable support in QEMU for Windows, so, it was not recommended in general, thus there is no immediate plan to reintroduce 9p support for Podmam and QEMU.

xz tool has been removed from the install scripts.
