Docker Desktop Community 2.5.2

2020-11-26

New

Use of three digit version number.
Starting with Docker Desktop 2.5.2, updates will be much smaller as they will be applied using delta patches.

Docker Desktop Community 2.3.6.1

2020-09-08

Upgrades

Docker Compose 1.27.0

Bug fixes and minor changes

Upgrades

Bug fixes and minor changes

Fixed a Mac CPU usage bug by removing the serial console from hyperkit, see docker/roadmap#12. To open a shell in the VM use either nc -U ~/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/Data/debug-shell.sock (on Mac) or putty -serial \\.\pipe\dockerDebugShell (on Windows).

Docker Desktop Community 2.3.5.0

2020-08-21

New

The Images view on the Dashboard now allows you to interact with images on Docker Hub. You can now pull a remote repository with specific tags from Docker Hub, or view the details of the repository on the Docker Hub page. To access the new Images view, from the Docker menu, select Dashboard > Images.
Docker Desktop now enables BuildKit by default after a reset to factory defaults. To revert to the old docker build experience, go to Preferences > Docker Engine and then disable the BuildKit feature.
Docker Desktop now uses gRPC-FUSE for file sharing by default. This has much faster file sharing and uses much less CPU than osxfs, especially when there are lots of file events on the host. To switch back to osxfs, go to Preferences > General and disable gRPC-FUSE.

Upgrades

Removal

The Mutagen file sync feature that we have been experimenting with in recent Edge releases has been removed. Thanks to everyone who has provided feedback on this feature. We are reconsidering how to integrate it based on the feedback we have received so far.

Bug fixes and minor changes

Moved Dashboard to the top of the whale menu.
Improved the error handling when dockerd crashes.
Fixed minor bugs in the Images view.

Docker Desktop Community 2.3.4.0

2020-07-28

New

To access the new Images view, from the Docker menu, select Dashboard > Images.

Upgrades

Bug fixes and minor changes

Copying the container logs from the dashboard does not copy the ANSI color codes to the clipboard anymore.
Mutagen two-way sync now uses .dockersyncignore rather than .dockerignore to exclude files.

Docker Desktop Community 2.3.3.2

2020-07-21

Upgrades

Bug fixes and minor changes

Mutagen uses the .dockerignore file when creating a session to filter the list of synchronized files. See docker/for-mac#4621.
Docker CLI commands can now bypass any active Mutagen synchronization for volumes using :cached. See docker/for-mac#1592.

Docker Desktop Community 2.3.3.0

2020-07-09

Upgrades

Beta release of Docker ECS integration v1.0.0-beta.1
Docker ACI integration v0.1.7
Docker Compose 1.26.2

Bug fixes and minor changes

Compose-on-Kubernetes is no longer included in the Docker Desktop installer. You can download it separately from the compose-on-kubernetes release page.
Fixed an incompatibility between hyperkit and osquery which resulted in excessive hyperkit CPU usage. See docker/for-mac#3499
Docker Desktop now respects consistency flags cached, delegated, consistent even when in a list of options (for example, z,delegated). See docker/for-mac#4718.
Docker Desktop now implements the shared volume flag :delegated by automatically setting up a two-way file sync with Mutagen.

Docker Desktop Community 2.3.2.0

2020-06-25

Upgrades

Docker 19.03.12
Docker Compose 1.26.0
Kubernetes 1.18.3
Beta release of the Docker ACI integration

Bug fixes and minor changes

Fixed an issue with startup when the Kubernetes certificates have expired. See docker/for-mac#4594.
Fixed hyperkit on newer Macs / newer versions of Hypervisor.framework.
Added support for the global Mutagen config file ~/.mutagen.yml.
Automatically set up a two-way file sync using :delegated option with docker run -v command.
Re-added device-mapper to the embedded Linux kernel. See docker/for-mac#4549.
Improved diagnostics when using two-way synchronization with the Mutagen cache.
Switched to Mutagen posix-raw symlink mode which fixes cases where the symlinks point outside the synchronized directory. See docker/for-mac#4595.
Removed the legacy Kubernetes context docker-for-desktop. The context docker-desktop should be used instead. See docker/for-mac#4089.

Docker Desktop Community 2.3.1.0

2020-05-20

New

Docker Desktop introduces a directory caching mechanism to greatly improve disk performance in containers. This feature uses mutagen.io to sync files between the host and the containers and benefits from native disk performance.

We appreciate you trying out an early version of the Mutagen file sync feature. Please let us know your feedback by creating an issue in the Docker Desktop for Mac GitHub repository with the Mutagen label.

Upgrades

Docker Compose 1.26.0-rc4
Upgrade to Qemu 4.2.0, add Risc-V support

Bug fixes and minor changes

Fixed a performance regression when using shared volumes in 2.2.0.5. Fixes docker/for-mac#4423.
Fixed containers logs in Docker Desktop Dashboard which were sometimes truncated. Fixes docker/for-win#5954.

Docker Desktop Community 2.3.0.1

2020-04-28

Bug fixes and minor changes

Fixed a bug that caused starting and stopping of a Compose application from the UI to fail when the path contains whitespace.

Docker Desktop Community 2.3.0.0

2020-04-20

Upgrades

Bug fixes and minor changes

IPv6 has been re-enabled in the embedded Linux kernel, so listening on IPv6 addresses works again. Fixed docker/for-win#6206 and docker/for-mac#4415.
Fixed a bug where containers disappeared from the UI when Kubernetes context is invalid. Fixes docker/for-win#6037.
Fixed a file descriptor leak in vpnkit-bridge. Fixes docker/for-win#5841.
Added a link to the Stable channel from the Docker Desktop UI.
Made the embedded terminal resizable.
Fixed bug where diagnostic upload would fail if the username contained spaces.

Docker Desktop Community 2.2.3.0

2020-04-02

Upgrades

New

Docker Desktop introduces a new onboarding tutorial upon first startup. The Quick Start tutorial guides users to get started with Docker in a few easy steps. It includes a simple exercise to build an example Docker image, run it as a container, push and save the image to Docker Hub.

Bug fixes and minor changes

Reduced the size of the Docker Desktop installer from 710 MB to 445 MB.
Removed dangling /usr/local/bin/docker-machine symlinks which avoids custom installs of docker-machine being accidentally deleted in future upgrades. Note that if you have installed Docker Machine manually, then the install might have followed the symlink and installed Docker Machine in /Applications/Docker.app. In this case, you must manually reinstall Docker Machine after installing this version of Docker Desktop. Fixes docker/for-mac#4208.
Fixed a bug where the Docker UI could be started without the engine.
Switched from ahci-hd to virtio-blk to avoid an AHCI deadlock, see moby/hyperkit#94 and docker/for-mac#1835.
Capturing diagnostics is now faster and easier.
Fixed an issue where a container port could not be exposed on a specific host IP. See docker/for-mac#4209.
Kubernetes: Persistent volumes created by claims are now stored in the virtual machine. Fixes docker/for-win#5665.
Removed port probing from dashboard, just unconditionally showing links to ports that should be available. Fixes docker/for-mac#4264.

Known issues

Loopback and unspecified IPv6 addresses (:: and ::1) within a container do not currently work. Some web servers and other programs may be using these addresses in their configuration files.

Docker Desktop Community 2.2.2.0

2020-03-02

This release contains a Kubernetes upgrade. Note that your local Kubernetes cluster will be reset after installing Docker Desktop.

Upgrades

Bug fixes and minor changes

Docker Desktop now shares /var/folders by default as it stores per-user temporary files and caches.
Ceph support has been removed from Docker Desktop to save disk space.

Docker Desktop Community 2.2.1.0

2020-02-12

Upgrades

Docker Desktop Community 2.1.7.0

2019-12-11

Upgrades

Various minor improvements to the Dashboard UI.
Fixed an issue that occurs when sharing overlapping directories.
Fixed a bug that prevented users from changing the location of the VM disk image.
Docker Desktop does not inject inotify events on directories anymore as these can cause mount points to disappear inside containers. Fixes docker/for-mac#3976.
Fixed an issue that caused Docker Desktop to fail on startup when there is an incomplete Kubernetes config file.
Fixed an issue where attempts to log into Docker through Docker Desktop could sometimes fail with the Incorrect authentication credentials error. Fixes docker/for-mac#4010.

Docker Desktop Community 2.1.6.0

2019-11-18

Upgrades

New

Added the ability to start and stop Compose-based applications and view combined logs in the Docker Desktop Dashboard UI.

Bug fixes and minor changes

Docker Desktop Community 2.1.5.0

2019-11-04

This release contains a Kubernetes upgrade. Note that your local Kubernetes cluster will be reset after installation.

Upgrades

New

Docker Desktop Dashboard: The new Docker Desktop Dashboard provides a user-friendly interface which enables you to interact with containers and applications, and manage the lifecycle of your applications directly from the UI. In addition, it allows you to access the logs, view container details, and monitor resource utilization to explore the container behavior.

To access the new Dashboard UI, select the Docker menu from the Mac menu bar and then click Dashboard.

Bug fixes and minor changes

Fixed an issue that caused VMs running on older hardware with macOS Catalina to fail on startup with the error processor does not support desired secondary processor-based controls.

Known issues

When you start a Docker Compose application and then start a Docker App which has the same name as the Compose application, Docker Desktop displays only one application on the Dashboard. However, when you expand the application, containers that belong to both applications are displayed on the Dashboard.
When you deploy a Docker App with multiple containers on Kubernetes, Docker Desktop displays each Pod as an application on the Dashboard.
