Welcome to the 0.9.0-rc2 release of buildx! This is a pre-release of buildx

Please try out the release binaries and report any issues at https://github.com/docker/buildx/issues.

Notable changes

• New --print flag can be used to run helper functions supported by the BuildKit frontend performing the build and print their results. In Dockerfile this feature can be used to show the build arguments and secrets that the current build supports with --print=outline and list all available Dockerfile stages with --print=targets. This feature is experimental for gathering early feedback and requires enabling BUILDX_EXPERIMENTAL=1 environment variable. We plan to update/extend this feature in the future without keeping backward compatibility. #1100
