# LXD 5.0.10 release notes

This is a [LTS release](https://canonical.com/lxd/docs/latest/reference/releases-snap/index.html.md#ref-releases-lts) and is recommended for production use.

This is a maintenance release for the 5.0 LTS series. It includes storage and `devlxd` reliability fixes and other bug fixes backported from the main development branch.

## Highlights

This section highlights notable improvements in this release.

### `devlxd` moved to shared mounts

The `devlxd` socket is now served from the shared mounts (`shmounts`) mechanism instead of its previous dedicated mount path. Existing instances are automatically migrated from the old `devlxd` path to the new one, and a stacked `tmpfs` mount issue affecting shared mounts was fixed as part of this change.
