 ## v1.16.2
 - Exclude libnvidia-allocator from graphics mounts. This fixes a bug that leaks mounts when a container is started with bi-directional mount propagation.
 - Use empty string for default runtime-config-override. This removes a redundant warning for runtimes (e.g. Docker) where this is not applicable.
