### [`v2.0.0`](https://github.com/lima-vm/lima/releases/tag/v2.0.0)

[Compare Source](lima-vm/lima@v1.2.2...v2.0.0)

This is the second major release of Lima, featuring the support for [pluggable VM drivers](https://lima-vm.io/docs/dev/drivers/), [GPU acceleration](https://lima-vm.io/docs/config/gpu/), and [MCP](https://lima-vm.io/docs/config/ai/outside/mcp/).
This release also commemorates the promotion of the project from CNCF [Sandbox](https://www.cncf.io/sandbox-projects/) to [Incubating](https://www.cncf.io/projects/) 🎉.

#### Highlights

- [Experimental plug-in subsystem for VM driver infrastructure](https://lima-vm.io/docs/dev/drivers/).
  This will help implementing third-party plugins without modifying the code base of Lima.
  Thanks to [GSoC 2025](https://gist.github.com/unsuman/ff31a323ecef2289bf065882726ed7f0) contributor [@&#8203;unsuman](https://github.com/unsuman) .
- [Experimental krunkit VM driver](https://lima-vm.io/docs/config/vmtype/krunkit/) for supporting GPU acceleration ([#&#8203;4137](lima-vm/lima#4137), thanks to [@&#8203;unsuman](https://github.com/unsuman))
- [Experimental integration for Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://lima-vm.io/docs/config/ai/outside/) ([#&#8203;3744](lima-vm/lima#3744)). i.e., Lima can be now used as a sandbox for AI agents such as Gemini.
- Add `limactl (start|restart) --progress` flag to show the progress of provisioning ([#&#8203;3846](lima-vm/lima#3846), [#&#8203;3915](lima-vm/lima#3915), thanks to [@&#8203;olamilekan000](https://github.com/olamilekan000) [@&#8203;norio-nomura](https://github.com/norio-nomura))
- Add `limactl shell --preserve-env` flag to propagate env vars from the host to VM ([#&#8203;3830](lima-vm/lima#3830), thanks to [@&#8203;olamilekan000](https://github.com/olamilekan000))

#### Other notable changes

- `/tmp/lima` is no longer mounted by default ([#&#8203;3951](lima-vm/lima#3951))
- SSH port is no longer hard-coded to 60022 for the "default" instance ([#&#8203;3780](lima-vm/lima#3780))
- Forward UDP ports by default ([#&#8203;4054](lima-vm/lima#4054))
- Support CLI plugins ([#&#8203;3834](lima-vm/lima#3834), [#&#8203;4009](lima-vm/lima#4009), thanks to [@&#8203;olamilekan000](https://github.com/olamilekan000))
- Support custom URL scheme plugins ([#&#8203;3937](lima-vm/lima#3937), thanks to [@&#8203;jandubois](https://github.com/jandubois)).
  `template://default` is now recommended to be written as `template:default`. The old form is still supported.

##### Details

  - Support custom URL scheme plugins ([#&#8203;3937](lima-vm/lima#3937), thanks to [@&#8203;jandubois](https://github.com/jandubois)).
    `template://default` is now recommended to be written as `template:default`. The old form is still supported.
  - Add `limactl copy --backend=rsync` flag as an alternative to `scp` backend ([#&#8203;3143](lima-vm/lima#3143), thanks to [@&#8203;olamilekan000](https://github.com/olamilekan000))
  - Add `limactl list--yq` and `limactl info --yq` flags ([#&#8203;3998](lima-vm/lima#3998), thanks to [@&#8203;jandubois](https://github.com/jandubois))
  - Add `limactl rename OLD NEW` ([#&#8203;4207](lima-vm/lima#4207))
  - Deprecate `--yes` and introduce `limactl (clone|rename|edit|shell) --start` instead ([#&#8203;4108](lima-vm/lima#4108), [#&#8203;4285](lima-vm/lima#4285), thanks to [@&#8203;Horiodino](https://github.com/Horiodino) [@&#8203;nlordell](https://github.com/nlordell))

- YAML:
  - Migrate `cpuType` to `vmOpts.qemu` ([#&#8203;3500](lima-vm/lima#3500), thanks to [@&#8203;unsuman](https://github.com/unsuman))
  - Add `yq` provision mode ([#&#8203;3892](lima-vm/lima#3892), thanks to [@&#8203;norio-nomura](https://github.com/norio-nomura))
  - Prohibit relative paths in YAML ([#&#8203;3950](lima-vm/lima#3950)).
    Relative paths were never intended to be supported,
    but they were accidentally allowed due to a regression in v1.1.0.
    The CLI command `limactl (create|start|edit) --mount DIR` still supports relative paths.

- Default template:
  - Remove `/tmp/lima` mount ([#&#8203;3951](lima-vm/lima#3951))

  - Eliminated 3-second delay for detecting ports ([#&#8203;4066](lima-vm/lima#4066))
  - Removed iptables watcher for `sudo nerdctl run -p ...` ([#&#8203;4107](lima-vm/lima#4107)).
    `sudo nerdctl run -p ...` now requires nerdctl v2.1.6 or later.
  - Improved performance of gRPC forwarder ([#&#8203;4247](lima-vm/lima#4247), thanks to [@&#8203;balajiv113](https://github.com/balajiv113))
