##Version 1.4.1
(2014-12-17)
This release fixes an issue related to mounting volumes on `create`. Details available in the [Github milestone](https://github.com/docker/docker/issues?q=milestone%3A1.4.1+is%3Aclosed).
## Version 1.5.0
(2015-02-03)
##Version 1.4.0
(2014-12-11)
This release provides a number of new features, but is mainly focused on bug
fixes and improvements to platform stability and security.
For a complete list of patches, fixes, and other improvements, see the
[merge PR on GitHub](https://github.com/docker/docker/pull/10286).

*New Features*
* You can now add labels to the Docker daemon using key=value pairs defined with
the new `--label` flag. The labels are displayed by running `docker info`. In
addition, `docker info` also now returns an ID and hostname field. For more
information, see the
[command line reference](http://docs.docker.com/reference/commandline/cli/#daemon).
* The `ENV` instruction in the `Dockerfile` now supports arguments in the form
of `ENV name=value name2=value2..`. For more information, see the
[command line reference](http://docs.docker.com/reference/builder/#env)
* Introducing a new, still
[experimental, overlayfs storage driver](https://github.com/docker/docker/pull/7619/).
* You can now add filters to `docker events` to filter events by event name,
container, or image. For more information, see the
[command line reference](http://docs.docker.com/reference/commandline/cli/#events).
* The `docker cp` command now supports copying files from the filesystem of a
container's volumes. For more information, see the
[remote API reference](http://docs.docker.com/reference/api/docker_remote_api/).
* The `docker tag` command has been fixed so that it correctly honors `--force`
when overriding a tag for existing image. For more information, see
the [command line reference](http://docs.docker.com/reference/commandline/cli/#tag).
* Container volumes are now initialized during `docker create`. For more information, see
the [command line reference](http://docs.docker.com/reference/commandline/cli/#create).
*Security Fixes*
Patches and changes were made to address the following vulnerabilities:
* CVE-2014-9356: Path traversal during processing of absolute symlinks.
Absolute symlinks were not adequately checked for traversal which created a
vulnerability via image extraction and/or volume mounts.
* CVE-2014-9357: Escalation of privileges during decompression of LZMA (.xz)
archives. Docker 1.3.2 added `chroot` for archive extraction. This created a
vulnerability that could allow malicious images or builds to write files to the
host system and escape containerization, leading to privilege escalation.
* CVE-2014-9358: Path traversal and spoofing opportunities via image
identifiers. Image IDs passed either via `docker load` or registry communications
were not sufficiently validated. This created a vulnerability to path traversal
attacks wherein malicious images or repository spoofing could lead to graph
corruption and manipulation.
> **Note:** the above CVEs are also patched in Docker 1.3.3, which was released
> concurrently with 1.4.0.
*Runtime fixes*
* Fixed an issue that caused image archives to be read slowly.
*Client fixes*
* Fixed a regression related to STDIN redirection.
* Fixed a regression involving `docker cp` when the current directory is the
destination.
* The Docker daemon has now supports for IPv6 networking between containers
and on the `docker0` bridge. For more information see the
[IPv6 networking reference](/articles/networking/#ipv6).
* Docker container filesystems can now be set to`--read-only`, restricting your
container to writing to volumes [PR# 10093](https://github.com/docker/docker/pull/10093).
* A new `docker stats CONTAINERID` command has been added to allow users to view a
continuously updating stream of container resource usage statistics. See the
[`stats` command line reference](/reference/commandline/cli/#stats) and the
[container `stats` API reference](/reference/api/docker_remote_api_v1.17/#get-container-stats-based-on-resource-usage).
**Note**: this feature is only enabled for the `libcontainer` exec-driver at this point.
* Users can now specify the file to use as the `Dockerfile` by running
`docker build -f alternate.dockerfile .`. This will allow the definition of multiple
`Dockerfile`s for a single project. See the [`docker build` command reference](
/reference/commandline/cli/#build) for more information.
* The v1 Open Image specification has been created to document the current Docker image
format and metadata. Please see [the Open Image specification document](
https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/image/spec/v1.md) for more details.
* This release also includes a number of significant performance improvements in
build and image management ([PR #9720](https://github.com/docker/docker/pull/9720),
[PR #8827](https://github.com/docker/docker/pull/8827))
* The `docker inspect` command now lists ExecIDs generated for each `docker exec` process.
See [PR #9800](https://github.com/docker/docker/pull/9800)) for more details.
* The `docker inspect` command now shows the number of container restarts when there
is a restart policy ([PR #9621](https://github.com/docker/docker/pull/9621))
* This version of Docker is built using Go 1.4

An idiosyncrasy in AUFS prevents permissions from propagating predictably
between upper and lower layers. This can cause issues with accessing private
keys, database instances, etc. For complete information and workarounds see

* **Docker Hub incompatible with Safari 8**
Docker Hub has multiple issues displaying on Safari 8, the default browser
for OS X 10.10 (Yosemite). Users should access the hub using a different
browser. Most notably, changes in the way Safari handles cookies means that the
user is repeatedly logged out. For more information, see the [Docker
forum post](https://forums.docker.com/t/new-safari-in-yosemite-issue/300).
