It contains no further changes beyond the following 2 items: ###### Fixed data volume mount on macOS Under certain conditions, the data volume failed to mount on macOS. In that case, all data was stored in a RAM disk, which is limited to the amount of memory allocated to the VM (usually 6GB). This resulted in early out-of-memory errors when building or pulling images. When Rancher Desktop was restarted, all data from the current session was lost because it was never written to disk. Theoretically, this could also have happened on Linux, but it has only been reported in macOS ([#9754](https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/issues/9754) and [#10133](https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/issues/10133)) ###### Upgrade trivy 0.68.2 → 0.70.0 This upgrade also includes an upgrade to trivy 0.70.0 because the 0.68.2 version is no longer available for download. There are no known issues with 0.68.2; it just is no longer accessible. ##### Release Notes for 1.22.1 The 1.22.1 release did not fix the bug it was supposed to fix and was replaced with Rancher Desktop 1.22.2. ##### Release Notes for 1.22.0 ###### What's New ###### Select moby storage driver Version 1.21.0 switched to the containerd-snapshotter storage driver by default. On Windows, this happened unconditionally (even on upgrades), which made existing images inaccessible. Users can now choose between the classic and containerd-snapshotter storage drivers via `rdctl`: ```console rdctl set --container-engine.moby-storage-driver classic rdctl set --container-engine.moby-storage-driver snapshotter ``` Rancher Desktop automatically selects the driver based on where your existing images are stored. See [Migrating Images](https://docs.rancherdesktop.io/1.22/how-to-guides/migrating-images) for instructions on moving images between storage drivers. Windows users affected by the 1.21.0 issue can switch back to the classic driver to regain access to their images. ([#9732](https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/issues/9732)) ###### Docker 29 in the VM Alpine Linux has been updated to version 3.23, which includes Docker 29. This fixes issues with `docker inspect` returning incomplete image metadata. ([#9671](https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/issues/9671), [#9739](https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/issues/9739)) ###### Kubernetes Dashboard improvements Pod log streaming now works in the Dashboard. This was broken since version 1.6.0. ([#3212](https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/issues/3212)) The Dashboard button now waits until the Steve API server accepts connections before becoming active. Previously, clicking the button too quickly after Kubernetes started would show a spinner that never resolved. ([#8217](https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/issues/8217)) The non-functional "Download KubeConfig" and "Kubectl Shell" buttons have been removed from the cluster dashboard.
