The Linux Containers project hasannouncedthe release version0.1 of the Incus system container andvirtual-machine manager, which is a community-led fork of Canonical's LXD. Incus 0.1 "is roughlyequivalent to LXD 5.18 but with a number of breaking changes on top of theobvious rename". There have been some changes made in the two monthssince the fork:
With this initial release of Incus, we took the opportunity to remove a lotof unused or problematic features from LXD. Most of those changes arethings we would have liked to do in LXD but couldn't due to having strongguarantees around backward compatibility.

Incus will be similarly strict with backward compatibility in the future,but as this is the first release of the fork, it was our one bigopportunity to change things.

That said, the API and CLI are still extremely close to what LXD has,making it trivial if not completely seamless to port from LXD to Incus.

There is an onlineversion of Incus for those interested in giving it a try.
