Docker Desktop Community 2.4.0.0 Release Notes

- 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) ### Upgrades - [Docker 19.03.13](https://github.com/docker/docker-ce/releases/tag/v19.03.13) - [Docker Compose 1.27.4](https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/tag/1.27.4) - [Go 1.14.7](https://github.com/golang/go/releases/tag/go1.14.7) - [Alpine 3.12](https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.12.0-released.html) - [Kubernetes 1.18.8](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/releases/tag/v1.18.8) - [Qemu 4.2.0](https://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=tag;h=1e4aa2dad329852aa6c3f59cefd65c2c2ef2062c) ### Bug fixes and minor changes - Removed the legacy Kubernetes context `docker-for-desktop`. The context `docker-desktop` should be used instead. Fixes [docker/for-win#5089](https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/5089) and [docker/for-mac#4089](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/4089). - Removed the option to start with Windows containers from the installer - Pinning the application to the taskbar and clicking on it will launch the container view if Docker is already running. - Left-clicking on the whale in the system tray now launches the dashboard container view. - Docker Desktop now uses a different systray icon for dark and light mode. Fixes [docker/for-win#4113](https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/4113). - Added support for emulating Risc-V via Qemu 4.2.0. - Added a low-level debug shell accessible via `putty -serial \\.\pipe\dockerDebugShell`. - Copy container logs without ansi colors to clipboard.

See [docker/for-win#4425](https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/4425). - Switched from `chronyd` to `sntpcd` to work around host time synchronization problems. Fixes [docker/for-win#4526](https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/4526). - Avoid blocking startup if "Expose daemon on tcp://localhost:2375 without TLS" is set and `localhost:2375` is in use by another program. See [docker/for-win#6929](https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/6929) [docker/for-win#6961](https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/6961). - Fixed an issue where adding a folder on a non-existing drive in the settings would create an empty entry. See [docker/for-win#6797](https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/6797). - Avoid failing with "Function not implemented" during file I/O on shared volumes. Fixes [docker/for-win#5955](https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/5955) - Ensure that `docker run -v /var/run/docker.sock` rewrites Windows paths properly, see [docker/for-win#6628](https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/6628). - Fixed a crash which occurred when Docker Desktop loads a corrupted Docker CLI configuration file.
