netlab release 26.08 brings a few humongous additions:

• ArcOS support by @roc-ops
• VPP (FD.io) with FRR or BIRD control plane by @jbemmel
• SONiC containers (also by @roc-ops)
• IPv4/IPv6 access control lists in the routing module by @DanPartelly

But wait, there’s more:

• The new services module configures DNS clients and servers
• GRE tunnels on Arista EOS and GRE/WireGuard tunnels on Mikrotik RouterOS7 and OpenBSD (by @snuffy22)
• clab provider supports the podman container runtime (details)

Unfortunately, while fixing device configuration templates and other bugs, we also had to break a few (hopefully mostly irrelevant) eggs

Read the release notes for even more details.
