### Bug fixes and minor changes
- Renamed 'Run Diagnostics' to 'Get support'.
- Fixed an issue that intermittently made the WSL 2 backend fail to start.
- Fixed an issue related to NFS mounting. See [docker/for-mac#4958](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/4958).
- Fixed an issue where bash in WSL would not find the docker CLI when it is started before Docker Desktop.
- Fixed an issue with HTTP proxy exclude lists containing entries such as `localhost` or `127.0.0.1`. Fixes [docker/for-win#8750](https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/8750).
- When the WSL integration process unexpectedly stops, the user is now notified and can decide to restart it or not, instead of always trying to restart it in a loop. fixes [docker/for-win#8968](https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/8968).
- Fixed an issue related to container logs lagging under heavy load. Fixes [docker/for-win#8216](https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/8216).
- Diagnostics: avoid hanging when Kubernetes is in a broken state.
- Fixed the path to the installer log file default location when the username contains a space. Fixes [docker/for-win#7941](https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/7941).
- Fixed an issue where some network plugins may fail to load, provoking a crash of the Docker daemon [docker/for-win#9282](https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/9282).
- 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 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 **Settings** > **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)
