WIP: Changelog

(last update: 2016/03/08 08.29am)

IMPORTANT: With Docker 1.11, a docker installation is now made of 4 binaries (docker, containerd, containerd-shim and runc). If you have scripts relying on docker being a single static binaries, please make sure to update them. Interaction with the daemon stay the same otherwise, the usage of the other binaries should be transparent.

Distribution

• docker login will no longer prompt for an email (#20565)
• Docker will now fallback to registry V1 if no basic auth credentials are available (#20241)
• docker login now handles token using the implementation found in docker/distribution (#20832)
• Docker will now try to resume layer download where it left timeout after a network error/timeout (#19840)

Client

• Post processing is no longer enabled for linux-cgo terminals (#20587)
• docker ps now supports displaying the list of volumes mounted inside a container (#20017)
• docker info now also report Docker's root directory location (#19986)

Volumes

• Output of docker volume ls is now sorted by volume name (#20389)
• Local volumes can now accepts options similar to the unix mount tool (#20262)

Runtime

• Fix the handling of Docker command when passed a 64 bytes id (#21002)
• Docker will now return a 204 (i.e http.StatusNoContent) code when it successfully deleted a network (#20977)
• The devmapper driver learn the dm.min_free_space option. If the mapped device free space reaches the passed value, new device creation will be prohibited. (#20786)
• Docker can now prevent processes in container to gain new privileges via the --security-opt=no-new-privileges flag (#20727)
• Starting a container with the --device option will now correctly resolves symlinks (#20684)
• Fix docker configuration reloading to only alter value present in the given config file (#20604)
• Docker now allows setting a container hostname via the --hostname flag (#20177)
• Docker now allows executing privileged container while running with --userns-remap if both --privileged and the new --userns=host flag are specified (#20111)
• Docker now supports external credential stores (#20107)
• Fix Docker not cleaning up correctly old containers upon restarting after a crash (#19679)
• docker update learned how to change a container restart policy (#19116)
• docker inspect now also returns a new State field containing the container state in a human readable way (i.e. one of created, restarting, running, paused, exited or dead)(#18966)
• Docker learned to limit the number of active pids (i.e. processes) within the container via the pids-limit flags. NOTE: This require CGROUP_PIDS=y to be in the kernel configuration. (#18697)

Logging

• Docker syslog driver now uses the RFC-5424 format when emitting logs (#20121)
• Docker GELF log driver now allows to specify the compression algorithm and level via the gelf-compression-type and gelf-compression-level options (#19831)
• Docker daemon learned to output uncolorized logs via the --raw-logs options (#19794)
• Docker, on Windows platform, now includes an ETW (Event Tracing in Windows) logging driver named etwlogs (#19689)
• Journald log driver now support the log command tag option (#19564)
• Docker learn to send log to Google Cloud via the new gcplogs logging driver. (#18766)
• The fluentd log driver learned to process the new fail-on-startup-error log option preventing it to fail a container startup if it can't connect to the backend (#18041)

Networking

• Output of docker network ls is now sorted by network name (#20383)
• docker network inspect now returns whether a network is internal or not (#19357)
• Docker learned to create ipv6 enabled networks (docker network create --ipv6). This show up as a new EnableIPv6 field in docker inspect. (#17513)
