##Version 1.4.1
(2014-12-17)
## Version 1.5.0
(2015-02-03)
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 1.4.0
(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/9345).

*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

@ -90,3 +56,10 @@ 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
[Github Issue 783](https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/783).
* **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).
