- [Compose V2 beta](https://github.com/docker/compose-cli/releases/tag/v2.0.0-beta.4) - Fixed a bug where a container cannot be started when a file is bind-mounted into a nested mountpoint. Fixes [docker/compose-cli#1795](https://github.com/docker/compose-cli/issues/1795). - Added support for container links and external links. - Introduced the `docker compose logs --since --until` option. - `docker compose config --profiles` now lists all defined profiles. - From [Kubernetes 1.21.1](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/releases/tag/v1.21.1) to [Kubernetes 1.21.2](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/releases/tag/v1.21.2) ### Bug fixes and minor changes - **Volume Management** - Users can now remove a file or directory inside a volume using the Docker Dashboard. - The **Volumes** view in Docker Dashboard displays the last modified time and the size of the contents inside a volume. - Users can save the files and directories inside a volume from Docker Dashboard. - Fixed an issue that caused credStore timeout errors when running the `docker login` command. Fixes [docker/for-win#11472](https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/11472) - Docker Desktop now allows the WSL 2 integration agent to start even when `/etc/wsl.conf` is malformed. - Fixed an issue with the Docker Compose app not being stopped or removed when started by multiple configuration files. [docker/for-win#11445](https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/11445) - Fixed a bug where Docker Desktop fails to restart after a power failure because the Hyper-V VM restarted prematurely. - The default `docker` CLI `context` is now `desktop-linux` in Linux containers mode and `desktop-windows` when in Windows containers mode. - Show the Docker Desktop Feedback popup only when clicking Docker menu. ## Docker Desktop 3.4.0 2021-06-09 ### New **Volume Management**: Docker Desktop users can now create and delete volumes using the Docker Dashboard and also see which volumes are being used. For more information, see [Explore volumes](../use-desktop/volumes.md). **Compose V2 beta**: Docker Desktop now includes the beta version of Compose V2, which supports the `docker compose` command as part of the Docker CLI. While `docker-compose` is still supported and maintained, Compose V2 implementation relies directly on the compose-go bindings which are maintained as part of the specification. The compose command in the Docker CLI supports most of the `docker-compose` commands and flags. It is expected to be a drop-in replacement for `docker-compose`. There are a few remaining flags that have yet to be implemented, see the [docker-compose compatibility list](/manuals/compose/releases/migrate.md) for more information about the flags that are supported in the new compose command. If you run into any problems with Compose V2, you can easily switch back to Compose v1 by either by making changes in Docker Desktop **Experimental** Settings, or by running the command `docker-compose disable-v2`. Let us know your feedback on the new ‘compose’ command by creating an issue in the [Compose-CLI](https://github.com/docker/compose-cli/issues) GitHub repository. **Skip Docker Desktop updates**: All users can now skip an update when they are prompted to install individual Docker Desktop releases. ### Deprecation - Docker Desktop no longer installs Notary, `docker trust` should be used for image signing. ### Upgrades - [Docker Engine 20.10.7](/manuals/engine/release-notes/20.10.md#20107) - [Docker Compose 1.29.2](https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/tag/1.29.2) - [Docker Hub Tool v0.4.1](https://github.com/docker/hub-tool/releases/tag/v0.4.1) - [Compose CLI v1.0.16](https://github.com/docker/compose-cli/releases/tag/v1.0.16) - [Kubernetes 1.21.1](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/releases/tag/v1.21.1) - [containerd v1.4.6](https://github.com/containerd/containerd/releases/tag/v1.4.6) - [runc v1.0.0-rc95](https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/releases/tag/v1.0.0-rc95)

This section covers the release notes for Docker Desktop 3.4.0, which includes new features like Volume Management through the Docker Dashboard, the Compose V2 beta, and the ability to skip Docker Desktop updates. It also notes the deprecation of Notary, upgrades to Docker Engine, Compose, Hub Tool, Compose CLI, Kubernetes, containerd, and runc, along with several bug fixes, including addressing credStore timeout errors and improving WSL 2 integration.
