Breaking changes and incompatibilities
Every Engine release strives to be backward compatible with its predecessors. In all cases, the policy is that feature removal is communicated two releases in advance and documented as part of the deprecated features page.
Unfortunately, Docker is a fast moving project, and newly introduced features may sometime introduce breaking changes and/or incompatibilities. This page documents these by Engine version.
Engine 1.10
There were two breaking changes in the 1.10 release.
Registry
Registry 2.3 includes improvements to the image manifest that have caused a
breaking change. Images pushed by Engine 1.10 to a Registry 2.3 cannot be
pulled by digest by older Engine versions. A docker pull that encounters this
situation returns the following error:
Docker Content Trust heavily relies on pull by digest. As a result, images pushed from the Engine 1.10 CLI to a 2.3 Registry cannot be pulled by older Engine CLIs (< 1.10) with Docker Content Trust enabled.
If you are using an older Registry version (< 2.3), this problem does not occur with any version of the Engine CLI; push, pull, with and without content trust work as you would expect.
Docker Content Trust
Engine older than the current 1.10 cannot pull images from repositories that have enabled key delegation. Key delegation is an experimental feature which requires a manual action to enable.
