1.16.0 (2026-03-19)

Please note:

  • This version of Finch ships with Amazon Linux 2023 based VM images and the latest Linux LTS Kernel 6.18 on macOS. (Thanks to @pendo324).
  • Rosetta is not compatible with the Linux Kernel 6.18 on macOS < 26 (Tahoe). If your workflow depends on Rosetta for x86_64 emulation, we recommend that you either update your Mac to macOS 26 or stick to the older version of Finch. (lima-vm/lima#3592, https://github.com/utmapp/UTM/discussions/6799#discussioncomment-13193067)
  • QEMU for x86_64 emulation continues to work without any changes required from your side.
