1.7.0

Highlight

added --enter-flags to distrobox-export to specify additional distrobox flags to use when entering
added --hostname flag to distrobox-create so you can choose a different hostname than the box name
added --unshare-groups to distrobox-create to allow unsharing user's additional groups inside the container

⚠️ BE CAREFUL:⚠️ This release will BREAK EXPORTED APPS AND BINARIES ⚠️ BE CAREFUL:⚠️

To fix this, you can enter your container and do:

distrobox-export --list-binaries | tr -d " " | awk -F"|" '{print "distrobox-export --bin "$1 " --export-path $(dirname "$2")"}' | sh -

and

distrobox-export --list-apps | awk -F"|" '{print $1}' | sed 's/[ \t]*$//' | xargs -I{} distrobox-export --app "{}"

To re-export all the apps and bins for that container
