It is with great pleasure that I announce the general availability of Singularity version 2.3! There are a massive number of fixes, updates, optimizations and awesomeness contained within this release, but here is a brief overview of the major changes you can expect to find in this release:

  • Lots of backend library changes to accommodate a more flexible API
  • Restructured Python backend
  • Updated bootstrap backend to make it much more reliable
  • Direct support for the awesome, the fantastic, Singularity-Hub!
  • Ability to run additional commands without root privileges (e.g. create, import, copy, export, etc..).
  • Added ability to pull images from Singularity Hub and Docker
  • Containers now have labels, and are inspect'able

And don't forget to have fun!
