Docker Desktop Release Notes: Version 4.39.0 - Features, Upgrades, Security, and Bug Fixes

- Docker Desktop now supports the `--platform` flag on [`docker load`](/reference/cli/docker/image/load.md) and [`docker save`](/reference/cli/docker/image/save.md). This helps you import and export a subset of multi-platform images. ### Upgrades - [Docker Compose v2.33.1](https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/tag/v2.33.1) - [Docker Buildx v0.21.1](https://github.com/docker/buildx/releases/tag/v0.21.1) - [Kubernetes v1.32.2](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/releases/tag/v1.32.2) - [Docker Engine v28.0.1](https://docs.docker.com/engine/release-notes/28/#2801) - [Docker Scout CLI v1.16.3](https://github.com/docker/scout-cli/releases/tag/v1.16.3) ### Security - Fixed [CVE-2025-1696](https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-1696) which could disclose proxy authentication credentials in plaintext in log files. ### Bug fixes and enhancements #### For all platforms - Ask Gordon now offers deeper context on Docker images, containers, and volumes, delivers faster support, and enables more user actions via Docker Desktop and the Docker CLI. - Support multi-platform images via enabling users to pick a specific platform in `docker history` - Fixed an issue that caused clients other than the CLI and Docker Desktop to see a delay of 3 seconds whenever a container with port-mappings exists. See [docker/for-mac#7575](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/7575) - Fixed a bug in the ECI Docker socket permissions which caused it to sometimes block Docker socket mounts on containers with allowed images, or images derived from allowed images. - Fixed a bug that prevented Docker Desktop from entering Resource Saver mode again immediately after an engine restart. - Fixed an issue that caused Kubernetes clusters to stop working due to expired PKI certificates. #### For Mac - Downgraded Linux kernel to `v6.10.14` to fix a bug in OpenJDK that causes Java containers to terminate due to cgroups controller misidentification. See [docker/for-mac#7573](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/7573). - Added `/usr/share/misc/usb.ids` in the root mount namespace to fix `usbip`. - Fixed an issue where the display of the CPU limit was capped at 8 when using Docker VMM. - Fixed an issue where startup would hang and the `com.docker.backend` process consumed 100% of the CPU. See [docker/for-mac#6951](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/6951). - Fixed a bug that caused all Java programs running on M4 Macbook Pro to emit a SIGILL error. See [docker/for-mac#7583](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/7583). - Blocked startup on macOS 15.4 beta 1 since starting VMs will cause the host to crash, see https://developer.apple.com/documentation/macos-release-notes/macos-15_4-release-notes#Virtual-Machines. - Fixed an issue where the myIPAddress PAC file function retrieved the host IP from the wrong interface, causing incorrect proxy selection. #### For Windows - Fixed a bug that prevented `docker compose log` to stream when running apps in WSL. - 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).

Docker Desktop version 4.39.0 includes support for the `--platform` flag on `docker load` and `docker save`, enabling import/export of multi-platform image subsets. Upgrades include Docker Compose, Buildx, Kubernetes, Engine, and Scout CLI. A security fix addresses CVE-2025-1696 related to proxy credential disclosure. Enhancements feature deeper context from Ask Gordon, multi-platform image support in `docker history`, and fixes for ECI Docker socket permissions, Resource Saver mode, and Kubernetes PKI certificates. Mac-specific fixes address OpenJDK issues, CPU limit display, startup hangs, and Java errors. Windows fixes resolve issues with `docker compose log`, Paketo buildpacks, WSL 2 integration, CLI plugin updates, and Docker Desktop sign-in. Linux updates the Software Updates page. Version 4.38.0 highlights PKG installer, enforcing sign-in, and Beta updates for Compose, Scout, CLI, and Ask Gordon independently from Docker Desktop.
