+## 5.2.1
+### Bugfixes

+
+### Misc
+- Updated Buildah to v1.37.1
+- Updated the containers/common library to v0.60.1
+- Updated the containers/image library to v5.32.1
+
 ## 5.2.0
 ### Features
 - Podman now supports `libkrun` as a backend for creating virtual machines on MacOS. The `libkrun` backend has the advantage of allowing GPUs to be mounted into the virtual machine to accelerate tasks. The default backend remains `applehv`.
