## Shell session caching
## VMs
A central change in XPipe 13 are the improvements of reusability of shell sessions running in the background. Whenever you access a system or a parent system, XPipe will connect to it just as before but keep this session open in the background for some time, under the assumption that users will typically perform multiple actions afterward. This will improve the speed of many actions and also results in less authentication prompts when you are using something like 2FA.
A common example would be stopping and starting a container. Previously this would have resulted in two connections to the container host system and would have taken a while. Now, there will only be one connection to the host and all actions you perform on that host will be significantly quicker.
## KVM/QEMU/libvirt support
There is now support for KVM/QEMU virtual machines that can be accessed via the libvirt CLI tools `virsh`. This includes support for other driver URLs as well aside from KVM and QEMU.

- You can now override a VM IP if you're using an advanced networking setup where the default IP detection is not suitable.
- Fix remote VM SSH connections not being able to use the keys and identities from the local system
- VM states are now properly updated and shown
- There is now a new restart button for containers and VMs
## File browser
The file browser has been improved:
- There is now a new option in the context menu of a tab to pin it, allowing for having a split view with two different file systems
- There is now the option to dock terminals in the file browser (this is only available on Windows for now)
- The previous system overview tab is now always shown
- There is now a new restart button for containers and VMs
- The previous system history tab is now always shown
- You can now change the default download location for the move to downloads button
## Terminal tacking
- Closing a terminal tab/window while the session is loading will now cancel the loading process in XPipe as well
- A newly opened terminal will now regain focus after any password prompt was entered in xpipe
