Docker Desktop Release Notes: Version 4.38.0 - Bug Fixes, New Features, and Upgrades

- Fixed a bug where Paketo buildpacks failed with Enhanced Container Isolation when Docker Desktop uses WSL. - Fixed a bug where the WSL 2 integration would fail if WSL Version 1 distributions are installed. - Fixed a bug that caused some CLI plugins update to fail if WSL distributions were enabled. - Fixed a bug where Docker Desktop sign-in would hang when using a PAC file for proxy configuration, causing a blurred UI and blocking access. #### For Linux - The **Software Updates** page in settings, now points to the latest available version available. ## 4.38.0 {{< release-date date="2025-01-30" >}} {{< desktop-install-v2 all=true beta_win_arm=true version="4.38.0" build_path="/181591/" >}} ### New - Installing Docker Desktop via the PKG installer is now generally available. - Enforcing sign-in via configuration profiles is now generally available. - Docker Compose, Docker Scout, the Docker CLI, and Ask Gordon can now be updated independently of Docker Desktop and without a full restart (Beta). - The new [`update` command](/reference/cli/docker/desktop/update.md) has been added to the Docker Desktop CLI (Mac only). - [Bake](/manuals//build/bake/_index.md) is now generally available, with support for entitlements and composable attributes. - You can now create [multi-node Kubernetes clusters](/manuals/desktop/settings-and-maintenance/settings.md#kubernetes) in Docker Desktop. - [Ask Gordon](/manuals/ai/gordon/_index.md) is more widely available. It is still in Beta. ### Upgrades - [containerd v1.7.24](https://github.com/containerd/containerd/releases/tag/v1.7.24) - [Docker Buildx v0.20.1](https://github.com/docker/buildx/releases/tag/v0.20.1) - [Docker Compose v2.32.4](https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/tag/v2.32.4) - [Docker Engine v27.5.1](https://docs.docker.com/engine/release-notes/27/#2751) - [Docker Scout CLI v1.16.1](https://github.com/docker/scout-cli/releases/tag/v1.16.1) - [Runc v1.2.2](https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/releases/tag/v1.2.2) - [NVIDIA Container Toolkit v1.17.4](https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-container-toolkit/releases/tag/v1.17.4) - [Kubernetes v1.31.4](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/releases/tag/v1.31.4) - Docker Debug `v0.0.38` ### Bug fixes and enhancements #### For all platforms - Fixed a bug where access tokens generated by the `docker login` web flow could not be refreshed by Docker Desktop. - Fixed a bug where container creation via the Docker API using `curl` failed when [Enhanced Container Isolation](/manuals/security/for-admins/hardened-desktop/enhanced-container-isolation/_index.md) was enabled. - Fixed a bug where the RAM policy was not refreshed after the refresh period had elapsed. - Fixed a bug in Enhanced Container Isolation when mounting the Docker socket into a container, and then creating Docker containers with bind-mounts from within that container. - Fixed an issue that caused a discrepancy between the GUI and the CLI, the former forcing the `0.0.0.0` HostIP in port-mappings. This caused default binding IPs configured through Engine's `ip` flag, or through the bridge option `com.docker.network.bridge.host_binding_ipv4`, to not be used. - Fixed a bug where the `pac` setting was ignored in `admin-settings.json`. - Build UI: - Added a progress status when importing a build. - Fixed a bug where users were unable to import builds. - Fixed a bug where some builders using SSH endpoints were not skipped. #### For Mac - Fixed a bug in Docker VMM where bind-mounts from non-root volumes would weren't working as expected. - Fixed an issue that caused startup failures on systems without IPv6. Fixes [docker/for-mac#14298](https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/14298). - Fixed a bug that caused Docker Desktop to hang. See [docker/for-mac#7493](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/7493#issuecomment-2568594070). - Fixed an issue where the uninstaller would fail if the settings file is missing. - Fixed a bug where config profiles deployed via Workspace One were ignored.
