Changes for version 0.105 - 2026-10-25
- The build context sent to the engine now keeps what Dist::Zilla wrote into the build root: file modes (an executable stays executable, so "COPY entrypoint.sh" plus ENTRYPOINT no longer needs a "RUN chmod +x"), symlinks as symlink entries (dangling ones no longer abort the build), and empty directories. Top-level dotfiles such as .dockerignore are no longer left out of the context.
- build_load, release_load and the deprecated load are removed: nothing ever read them, as the image always lands in the engine's store when built through the API. Setting one in a dist.ini now warns that it is no longer supported and is discarded, like phase.
- A second "platform" value is now a fatal error instead of being dropped silently, which built and pushed a single-platform image from a multi-platform config. The /build endpoint takes exactly one platform; multi-arch images are not what this plugin does.
- Registry credentials are now resolved from an ordered list of auth files instead of only ~/.docker/config.json, so a plain "podman login" (or "docker login") is picked up automatically. The order, first file with a matching entry winning, is REGISTRY_AUTH_FILE, then $DOCKER_CONFIG/config.json, then Podman's $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/containers/auth.json, then ~/.config/containers/auth.json, then ~/.docker/config.json. The per-registry entry selection is unchanged.
