This page contains information about the new features, improvements, known issues, and bug fixes in Docker Desktop releases. 

Releases are gradually rolled out to ensure quality control. If the latest version is not yet available to you, allow some time — updates typically become available within a week of the release date.

Docker Desktop versions older than 6 months from the latest release are not available for download. Previous release notes are available in our [documentation repository](https://github.com/docker/docs/tree/main/content/manuals/desktop/previous-versions).

### Upgrades

- [Docker Buildx v0.24.0](https://github.com/docker/buildx/releases/tag/v0.24.0)
- [Docker Engine v28.2.2](https://docs.docker.com/engine/release-notes/28/#2822)

### Bug fixes and enhancements

#### For all platforms

- Docker Desktop now accepts certificates with a negative serial number.
- Re-enable `seccomp` for containers by default. Use `docker run --security-opt seccomp=unconfined` to disable seccomp for a container.
- Fixed a bug that caused Docker Desktop to hang when it ran out of memory.
- Block `io_uring` syscalls in containers.
- Added support for pulling models from Docker Hub directly, simplifying the process of accessing and using models.
- Docker Desktop now sets the disk usage limit to the size of the physical disk on fresh install and reset to defaults on Mac and Linux.
- The maximum disk size in the settings UI now aligns with the full capacity of the host file system.
- The **Models** view now has a **Docker Hub** tab that lists models under the `ai` namespace.
- Improved the sign-in enforcement message when more than 10 organizations are enforced.
- Changed the way ports are mapped by Docker Desktop to fully support IPv6 ports.
- Fixed a bug in the Dashboard container logs screen causing the scrollbar to disappear as the mouse approaches.
- [Enforced sign-in](../security/for-admins/enforce-sign-in) fixed for Teams subscription users.
- `llama.cpp` server now supports streaming and tool calling in Model Runner.
- Sign-in Enforcement capability is now available to all subscriptions.

#### For Mac

- Fixed a bug where the disk would always have a minimum usage limit of 64GB when using Docker VMM.
- Disabled the memory protection keys mechanism in the Docker Desktop Linux VM. This caused VS Code Dev Containers to not work properly. See [docker/for-mac#7667](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/7667).
