Ok, how do I actually install this? `wsl --update` says I'm up to date, but wsl --version` shows `WSL version: 1.2.5.0`.

I also had this same issue and found this on the official microsoft blog which also contains info on how to actually enable the new features.

wsl --update; wsl --update --pre-release
