* New
  - Kubernetes Support. You can now run a single-node Kubernetes cluster from the "Kubernetes" Pane in Docker For Mac Preferences and use kubectl commands as well as docker commands. See [the Kubernetes section](/manuals/desktop/features/kubernetes.md)
  - Add an experimental SOCKS server to allow access to container networks, see [docker/for-mac#2670](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/2670#issuecomment-372365274). Also see [docker/for-mac#2721](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/2721)
  - Re-enable raw as the default disk format for users running macOS 10.13.4 and higher. Note this change only takes effect after a "reset to factory defaults" or "remove all data" (from the Whale menu -> Preferences -> Reset). Related to [docker/for-mac#2625](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/2625)

* Bug fixes and minor changes
  - AUFS storage driver is deprecated in Docker Desktop and AUFS support will be removed in the next major release. You can continue with AUFS in Docker Desktop 18.06.x, but you will need to reset disk image (in Preferences > Reset menu) before updating to the next major update. You can check documentation to [save images](/reference/cli/docker/image/save/#examples) and [back up volumes](/manuals/engine/storage/volumes.md#back-up-restore-or-migrate-data-volumes)
  - OS X El Captain 10.11 is deprecated in Docker Desktop. You will not be able to install updates after Docker Desktop 18.06.x. We recommend upgrading to the latest version of macOS.
  - Fix bug which would cause VM logs to be written to RAM rather than disk in some cases, and the VM to hang. See [docker/for-mac#2984](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/2984)
  - Fix network connection leak triggered by haproxy TCP health-checks [docker/for-mac#1132](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/1132)
  - Better message to reset vmnetd when it's disabled. See [docker/for-mac#3035](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/3035)
  - Fix VPNKit memory leak. Fixes [moby/vpnkit#371](https://github.com/moby/vpnkit/issues/371)
  - Virtual Machine default disk path is stored relative to $HOME. Fixes [docker/for-mac#2928](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/2928), [docker/for-mac#1209](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/1209)
  - Use Simple NTP to minimise clock drift between the VM and the host. Fixes [docker/for-mac#2076](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/2076)
  - Fix a race between calling stat on a file and calling close of a file descriptor referencing the file that could result in the stat failing with EBADF (often presented as "File not found"). Fixes [docker/for-mac#2870](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/2870)
  - Do not allow install of Docker for Mac on macOS Yosemite 10.10, this version is not supported since Docker for Mac 17.09.0.
  - Fix button order in reset dialog windows. Fixes [docker/for-mac#2827](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/2827)
