v1.6

Added

• Added support for NVIDIA GPU in stock-only setup, with setup script and example Knative deployment.
• Upgraded the Firecracker version. Vanilla Firecracker snapshots are supported with local snapshot storage. Remote snapshot support is added but unstable (GH-823).
• Added a new netPoolSize option to configure the amount of network devices in the Firecracker VM network pool (10 by default), which can be used to keep the network initialization off the cold start path of Firecracker VMs.

Changed

• Changed system setup script. NVIDIA helm is now one of the vHive dependencies.
• Disabled the UPF feature for Firecracker snapshots (GH-807), but it is still available in the legacy branch.
• Update quick start guide to use refactored Go version setup scripts with a unified entry for easily setting up vHive and remove some legacy bash scripts under scripts.

Fixed

• Removed the limitation on the number of functions instances that can be restored from a single Firecracker snapshot (previously it was limited to 1).
