 ## [unreleased]
 
+### Added
+
+- Support for native virtualization provided by macOS Virtualization framework. In detail, now Lima VMs are configured to use `vz` as the VM type and `virtiofs` for mounts. This change leads to significant stability and performance improvements ([#42](https://github.com/douglascamata/setup-docker-macos-action/pull/42)).
+
+### Removed
+
+- Support for QEMU virtualization, which has historically been fragile and hard to maintain. The related `upgrade-qemu` config flag has also been removed ([#42](https://github.com/douglascamata/setup-docker-macos-action/pull/42)).
+
 ## [v1-alpha.14] - 2024-09-19

 ## Inputs
 
-## `inputs.upgrade-qemu` (defaults to `"false"`)
-
-The action, by default, will not try to upgrade QEMU if it's already installed.
-The reason is that installing QEMU takes a considerable amount of time.
-
-If this is set to `"true"`, the action will attempt an upgrade of QEMU to the
-latest version available in Homebrew.
-
 ## `inputs.lima` (defaults to `"latest"`)
 
 The version of Lima to install. This can be any valid version from [Lima releases page](https://github.com/lima-vm/lima/releases)
