Docker Desktop Beta Releases: Beta 10 - Beta 7 (April/May 2016): Settings, Hyper-V Improvements, Auto-Updates, and Networking Fixes

* Due to limitation in the Windows NAT implementation, co-existence with other NAT prefixes needs to be carefully managed. See [Troubleshooting](/manuals/desktop/troubleshoot-and-support/troubleshoot/known-issues.md) for more details. * Logs for the windows service are not aggregated with logs from the GUI. This is expected to be fixed in future versions. ### Beta 10 Release (2016-05-03 1.11.0-beta10) **New** * Improved Settings panel, allows you to configure the virtual machine’s memory and CPUs * Co-exists with multiple internal Hyper-V switches and improved DHCP handling * Token validation is now done over HTTPS. This should fix issues with some firewalls and antivirus software. **Upgrades** * Docker 1.11.1 **Bug fixes and minor changes** * Fixed Desktop shortcut name and updated icons * Preparation to run the backend as service * Improved logging and Mixpanel events * Improved code quality * Improved the build * New icons **Known issues** * Due to limitation in the Windows NAT implementation, co-existence with other NAT prefixes needs to be carefully managed. See [Troubleshooting](/manuals/desktop/troubleshoot-and-support/troubleshoot/_index.md) for more details. ### Beta 9 Release (2016-04-26 1.11.0-beta9) **New** * Provide one-click dialog to enable Hyper-V * Report clear underlying Hyper-V errors **Bug fixes and minor changes** * Better handling of some networking issues * Fixed help menu and start menu getting started URLs * Restored “Docker is Initializing” notification on first run * Better error messages during authentication * Improved logging on error conditions * Improved build and tests **Known issues** * If multiple internal Hyper-V switches exist the Moby virtual machine may not start correctly. We have identified the issue and are working on a solution. ### Beta 8 Release (2016-04-20 1.11.0-beta8) **New** * Auto-update is installed silently, and relaunches the application when it completes * Uninstaller can be found in Windows menu * Kitematic can be downloaded from the Dashboard menu **Bug fixes and minor changes** * Better UI in the ShareDrive window * The firewall alert dialog does not come up as often as previously * Configured MobyLinux virtual machine with a fixed memory of 2GB * User password is no longer stored on the host-side KVP * Uninstall shortcut is available in registry ### Beta 7 Release (2016-04-12 1.11.0-beta7) **New** - Multiple drives can be shared - New update window - Welcome whale **Upgrades** * docker 1.11.0-rc5 * docker-machine 0.7.0-rc3 * docker-compose 1.7.0-rc2 **Bug fixes and minor changes** * Improved networking configuration and error detection: fixed DHCP renewal and rebind issues * Allow DNS/DHCP processes to restart on bind error * Less destructive migration from Docker Toolbox * Improved documentation * Better error handling: Moby restarts itself if start takes too long. * Kill proxy and exit docker before a new version is installed * The application cannot start twice now * The proxy stops automatically when the GUI is not running * Removed existing proxy firewall rules before starting Moby * The application now collects more and better information on crashes and other issues * Improved all dialogs and windows * Added the version to installer's first screen * Better reset to defaults * New regression test framework * The installation MSI is now timestamped * The Hyper-V install mentions Docker Toolbox only if it is present * Improved Bugsnag reports: fixed a dependency bug, and added a unique ID to each new report * Improved the build * Improved code quality **Known issues** - Settings are now serialized in JSON. This install loses the current settings. - Docker needs to open ports on the firewall. Sometimes, the user sees a firewall alert dialog. The user should allow the ports to be opened. - The application was upgraded to 64 bits. The installation path changed to `C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker`. Users might need to close any Powershell/Cmd windows that were already open before the update to get the new `PATH`. In some cases, users may need to log off and on again.

This excerpt covers Docker Desktop Beta releases from Beta 10 to Beta 7 in April and May 2016. Beta 10 features an improved Settings panel for VM memory and CPU configuration, better Hyper-V switch co-existence, and HTTPS token validation. Beta 9 focuses on Hyper-V enabling and error reporting. Beta 8 introduces silent auto-updates and Kitematic download from the Dashboard. Beta 7 adds multiple drive sharing, a new update window, and upgrades Docker components. Key improvements include networking configuration fixes, DHCP renewal enhancements, less disruptive Toolbox migration, better error handling, and UI improvements. Known issues include Windows NAT limitations, lack of log aggregation for the Windows service, potential issues with multiple Hyper-V switches, firewall alerts, and settings loss due to JSON serialization.
