Docker for Mac release notes |
Here are the main improvements and issues per release, starting with the current release. The documentation is always updated for each release.
For system requirements, see What to know before you install.
Release notes for stable and edge releases are listed below. (Starting with
the CE release model, beta
releases are called edge
releases.) You can learn
about both kinds of releases, and download stable and edge product installers at
Download Docker for Mac.
- Bug fixes and minor changes
- Fix error during resize/create Docker.raw disk image in some cases. Fixes docker/for-mac#2383, docker/for-mac#2447, [docker/for-mac#2453], (docker/for-mac#2453), docker/for-mac#2420
- Fix additional allocated disk space not available in containers. Fixes docker/for-mac#2449
- Vpnkit port max idle time default restored to 300s. Fixes docker/for-mac#2442
- Fix using an HTTP proxy with authentication. Fixes docker/for-mac#2386
- Allow HTTP proxy excludes to be written as .docker.com as well as *.docker.com
- Allow individual IP addresses to be added to HTTP proxy excludes.
- Avoid hitting DNS timeouts when querying docker.for.mac.* when the upstream DNS servers are slow or missing.

- Linux Kernel 4.9.60
-
New
- VM entirely built with Linuxkit
- VM disk size can be changed in disk preferences. (See docker/for-mac#1037)
- For systems running APFS on SSD on High Sierra, use
raw
format VM disks by default. This improves disk throughput (from 320MiB/sec to 600MiB/sec indd
on a 2015 MacBook Pro) and disk space handling.
Existing disks are kept in qcow format, if you want to switch to raw format you need to "Remove all data" or "Reset to factory defaults". See https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/faqs/#disk-usage - DNS name
docker.for.mac.host.internal
should be used instead ofdocker.for.mac.localhost
(still valid) for host resolution from containers, since since there is an RFC banning the use of subdomains of localhost. See https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-west-let-localhost-be-localhost-06.

raw
format VM disks by default. This increases disk throughput (from 320MiB/sec to 600MiB/sec indd
on a 2015 MacBook Pro) and disk space handling.
Existing disks are kept in qcow format, if you want to switch to raw format you need to "Reset to factory defaults". To query the space usage of the file, use a command like:
$ cd ~/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/Data/com.docker.driver.amd64-linux/
$ ls -ls Docker.raw
3944768 -rw-r--r--@ 1 user staff 68719476736 Nov 16 11:19 Docker.raw
The first number (3944768
) is the allocated space in blocks; the larger number68719476736
is the maximum total amount of space the file may consume in future in bytes.
