- When sharing a file into a container (e.g. `docker run -v ~/.gitconfig`) Docker Desktop does not watch the parent directory. Fixes [docker/for-mac#4981](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/4981), [docker/for-mac#4975](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/4975).
- Fixed an issue related to NFS mounting. Fixes [docker/for-mac#4958](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/4958).
- Allow symlinks to point outside of shared volumes. Fixes [docker/for-mac#4862](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/4862).
- Diagnostics: avoid hanging when Kubernetes is in a broken state.
- Docker Desktop now supports `S_ISUID`, `S_ISGID` and `S_ISVTX` in calls to `chmod(2)` on shared filesystems. Fixes [docker/for-mac#4943](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/4943).
## Docker Desktop Community 2.4.0.0
2020-09-30
Docker Desktop 2.4.0.0 contains a Kubernetes upgrade. Your local Kubernetes cluster will be reset after installing this version.
### New
- [Docker Compose CLI - 0.1.18](https://github.com/docker/compose-cli), enabling use of volumes with Compose and the Cloud through ECS and ACI.
- Docker introduces the new Images view in the Docker Dashboard. The images view allows users to view the Hub images, pull them and manage their local images on disk including cleaning up unwanted and unused images. To access the new Images view, from the Docker menu, select **Dashboard** > **Images**.
- Docker Desktop now enables BuildKit by default after a reset to factory defaults. To revert to the old `docker build` experience, go to **Preferences** > **Docker Engine** and then disable the BuildKit feature.
- [Amazon ECR Credential Helper](https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-ecr-credential-helper/releases/tag/v0.4.0)
- Docker Desktop now uses much less CPU when there are lots of file events on the host and when running Kubernetes, see [docker/roadmap#12](https://github.com/docker/roadmap/issues/12).
- Docker Desktop now uses gRPC-FUSE for file sharing by default. This uses much less CPU than osxfs, especially when there are lots of file events on the host. To switch back to `osxfs`, go to **Preferences** > **General** and disable gRPC-FUSE.
### Upgrades
- [Docker 19.03.13](https://github.com/docker/docker-ce/releases/tag/v19.03.13)
- [Docker Compose 1.27.4](https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/tag/1.27.4)
- [Go 1.14.7](https://github.com/golang/go/releases/tag/go1.14.7)
- [Alpine 3.12](https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.12.0-released.html)
- [Kubernetes 1.18.8](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/releases/tag/v1.18.8)
- [Qemu 4.2.0](https://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=tag;h=1e4aa2dad329852aa6c3f59cefd65c2c2ef2062c)
### Bug fixes and minor changes
- Docker Desktop on macOS 10.13 is now deprecated.
- Removed the legacy Kubernetes context `docker-for-desktop`. The context `docker-desktop` should be used instead. Fixes [docker/for-win#5089](https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/5089) and [docker/for-mac#4089](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/5089).
- Adding the application to the dock and clicking on it will launch the container view if Docker is already running.
- Added support for emulating Risc-V via Qemu 4.2.0.
- Removed file descriptor limit (`setrlimit`) of `10240`. We now rely on the kernel to impose limits via `kern.maxfiles` and `kern.maxfilesperproc`.
- Fixed a Mac CPU usage bug by removing the serial console from `hyperkit`, see [docker/roadmap#12]( https://github.com/docker/roadmap/issues/12#issuecomment-663163280). To open a shell in the VM use either `nc -U ~/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/Data/debug-shell.sock`.
- Copy container logs without ansi colors to clipboard. Fixes [docker/for-mac#4786](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/4786).
- Fixed automatic start on log in. See [docker/for-mac#4877] and [docker/for-mac#4890].
- Fixed bug where the application won't start if the username is too long.
- Fixed a bug where adding directories like `/usr` to the filesharing list prevents Desktop from starting. Fixes [docker/for-mac#4488](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/4488)
