Docker Desktop Updates: Versions 4.7.0, 4.7.1 and 4.8.0 - Bug Fixes, Enhancements, and New Features

- Fixed vpnkit establishing and blocking the client connection even if the server is gone. See [docker/for-mac#6235](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/6235) - Made improvements on the Volume tab in Docker Desktop: - Volume size is displayed. - Columns can be resized, hidden and reordered. - A columns sort order and hidden state is persisted, even after Docker Desktop restarts. - Row selection is persisted when switching between tabs, even after Docker Desktop restarts. - Fixed a bug in the Dev Environments tab that did not add a scroll when more items were added to the screen. - Standardised the header title and action in the Dashboard. - Added support for downloading Registry Access Management policies through HTTP proxies. - Fixed an issue related to empty remote repositories when the machine is in sleep mode for an extended period of time. - Fixed a bug where dangling images were not selected in the cleanup process if their name was not marked as "<none>" but their tag is. - Improved the error message when `docker pull` fails because an HTTP proxy is required. - Added the ability to clear the search bar easily in Docker Desktop. - Renamed the "Containers / Apps" tab to "Containers". - Fixed a silent crash in the Docker Desktop installer when `C:\ProgramData\DockerDesktop` is a file or a symlink. - Fixed a bug where an image with no namespace, for example `docker pull <private registry>/image`, would be erroneously blocked by Registry Access Management unless access to Docker Hub was enabled in settings. #### For Mac - Docker Desktop's icon now matches Big Sur Style guide. See [docker/for-mac#5536](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/5536) - Fixed a problem with duplicate Dock icons and Dock icon not working as expected. Fixes [docker/for-mac#6189](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/6189). - Improved support for the `Cmd+Q` shortcut. #### For Windows - Improved support for the `Ctrl+W` shortcut. ### Known issues #### For all platforms - Currently, if you are running a Kubernetes cluster, it will be deleted when you upgrade to Docker Desktop 4.8.0. We aim to fix this in the next release. #### For Linux - Changing ownership rights for files in bind mounts fails. This is due to the way we have implemented file sharing between the host and VM within which the Docker Engine runs. We aim to resolve this issue in the next release. ## 4.7.1 {{< release-date date="2022-04-19" >}} ### Bug fixes and enhancements #### For all platforms - Fixed a crash on the Quick Start Guide final screen. #### For Windows - Fixed a bug where update was failing with a symlink error. Fixes [docker/for-win#12650](https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/12650). - Fixed a bug that prevented using Windows container mode. Fixes [docker/for-win#12652](https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/12652). ## 4.7.0 {{< release-date date="2022-04-07" >}} ### New - IT Administrators can now install Docker Desktop remotely using the command line. - Add the Docker Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) CLI plugin. The new CLI plugin enables users to generate SBOMs for Docker images. - Use [cri-dockerd](https://github.com/Mirantis/cri-dockerd) for new Kubernetes clusters instead of `dockershim`. The change is transparent from the user's point of view and Kubernetes containers run on the Docker Engine as before. `cri-dockerd` allows Kubernetes to manage Docker containers using the standard [Container Runtime Interface](https://github.com/kubernetes/cri-api#readme), the same interface used to control other container runtimes. For more information, see [The Future of Dockershim is cri-dockerd](https://www.mirantis.com/blog/the-future-of-dockershim-is-cri-dockerd/). ### Updates - [Docker Engine v20.10.14](/manuals/engine/release-notes/20.10.md#201014) - [Compose v2.4.1](https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/tag/v2.4.1) - [Buildx 0.8.2](https://github.com/docker/buildx/releases/tag/v0.8.2) - [containerd v1.5.11](https://github.com/containerd/containerd/releases/tag/v1.5.11)

This document summarizes updates for Docker Desktop versions 4.7.0, 4.7.1 and 4.8.0. New features include remote installation for IT Administrators, a Docker SBOM CLI plugin, and `cri-dockerd` for new Kubernetes clusters. Updates include Docker Engine v20.10.14, Compose v2.4.1, Buildx 0.8.2, and containerd v1.5.11. Bug fixes address vpnkit issues, volume tab improvements, Dev Environments tab fixes, and standardized dashboard elements. Additional fixes include HTTP proxy support for Registry Access Management policies, empty remote repositories, dangling images, and improved error messages for failed `docker pull` commands. UI enhancements include a clear search bar, renamed 'Containers / Apps' tab, and improved icon appearance on Mac. Windows updates focus on shortcut support and symlink errors. A known issue exists where upgrading to Docker Desktop 4.8.0 deletes Kubernetes clusters.
