v0.15.0 contains important fixes for cluster reboots and various other improvements.

Breaking Changes

• The default node image is a Kubernetes v1.25.0 image: kindest/node:v1.25.0@sha256:428aaa17ec82ccde0131cb2d1ca6547d13cf5fdabcc0bbecf749baa935387cbf

New Features

• New single letter flag aliases -n for --name and -A for --all, in-line with kubectl etc.
• Optimized image loading to re-tag images when the image contents are identical to previously loaded images but the tags are different
• Support for Kubernetes 1.25, fix for handling rootless + 1.25
• Containerd 1.6.7
• Go 1.19
• Updated base image distro to latest, NOTE: depend on the contents of the image at your own risk! our images enable running Kubernetes with KIND, we reserve the right to switch distros etc as needed
• Support for Podman 4.0 / netavark
• enhanced pre-release versions to include commit counts

New Node images have been built for kind v0.15.0, please use these exact images (IE like kindest/node:v1.25.0@sha256:428aaa17ec82ccde0131cb2d1ca6547d13cf5fdabcc0bbecf749baa935387cbf including the digest) or build your own as we may need to change the image format again in the future :sweat_smile:
