 - Quadlet `.container` units now support a new key, `ImageVolume=`, to configure how volumes from images are handled ([#28875](https://github.com/podman-container-tools/podman/issues/28875)).
 - The `podman generate kube` command now includes support for generating container healthchecks as a `livenessProbe` ([#22095](https://github.com/podman-container-tools/podman/issues/22095)).
+- A new option, `force_port_listen`, has been added to `containers.conf`. This is required to be set when running Podman on WSL to support port forwarding from the Windows host. It is automatically set on newly-created `podman machine` VMs on Windows using the WSL provider.
