+# Release Notes
+
+## 0.8.4
+### Features
+- Added the `podman pod top` command
+- Added the ability to easily share namespaces within a pod
+- Added a pod statistics endpoint to the Varlink API
+- Add information on container capabilities to the output of `podman inspect`
+
+### Bugfixes
+- Fixed a bug with the --device flag in `podman run` and `podman create`
+- Fixed `podman pod stats` to accept partial pod IDs and pod names
+- Fixed a bug with OCI hooks handling `ALWAYS` matches
+- Fixed a bug with privileged rootless containers with `--net=host` set
+- Fixed a bug where `podman exec --user` would not work with usernames, only numeric IDs
+- Fixed a bug where Podman was forwarding both TCP and UDP ports to containers when protocol was not specified
+- Fixed issues with Apparmor in rootless containers
+- Fixed an issue with database encoding causing some containers created by Podman versions 0.8.1 and below to be unusable.
+
+### Compatability:
+We switched JSON encoding/decoding to a new library for this release to address a compatability issue introduced by v0.8.2.
+However, this may cause issues with containers created in 0.8.2 and 0.8.3 with custom DNS servers.
