I have working support for using #ubuntu server images with #ImageGarden and not just one but any CPU architecture as well.

Need a ppc64le or s390x to test something?

I've released #ImageGarden 0.3 earlier today: https://gitlab.com/zygoon/image-garden/-/releases/v0.3

The snap package is already up-to-date. Updates to classic packages are coming shortly.

Highlights are support for Fedora 42 and Ubuntu 25.10

Given that it's somewhat hard to tell users about new features, I've added a new command to my image-garden project. The "image-garden news" command shows what's new in the latest release (or latest few) releases of the project.

You can now get #ImageGarden as a snap: https://snapcraft.io/image-garden

This should make it easier to get into full-system testing with spread without any complex local setup.

Version 0.2.2 is currently baking and should hit the stable channel soon. If you use give it a try please leave some feedback.
