The open source project was pushed out in version 20.10 this week and also featured quite a few enhancements.ĭocker Engine 20.10 is, for example, the first version to come with dual logging, which lets users read container logs locally regardless of the logging driver used. While Docker Desktop targets Mac and Windows users that look for ways to build and share containerised apps, Docker also maintains the Docker Engine. On top of that, Docker Desktop will now receive upgrades in the background, which also helps performance. Since those will be way smaller than the whole package, downloading updates and upgrading systems should be faster from now on, something many seem to have asked for.

Users are now able to download an update that only includes the differences to the previous version, so basically a delta. Other changes in version 3.0 mostly concern the distribution of the tool. With Edge gone, those relying on getting early feature access at least have the option of joining the preview programme. Opening the programme up is also a necessity, since Docker decided to scrub the Docker Desktop Edge channel and use a single release stream for all users, starting with the just out 3.0 release. Benefits include direct access to the Docker team and a private Slack channel, as well as the warm feeling of having helped the project. They might also need to jump in on stress tests, help debugging, and are encouraged to join monthly engineering meetings. Users can apply for the preview programme via a dedicated website and are “expected to run pre-release builds of Docker Desktop and help us investigate on private builds when we are working on particular issues of features.”
Other prerequisites include the wish to access features in development, a “high tolerance for occasional functional regressions”, and the need for “an easy but impactful way” to help Docker and its user base. However, the programme is now open to anyone who uses the tool on a daily basis.
The following months were spent testing with a few Docker users to iron out the kinks. The latter was introduced under the name of Desktop Developer Preview Program in April, with the aim to “empower the community to work in lock-step with Docker engineers and help shape our product roadmap.” Docker seems to have made it through its end-of-year spurt of activity this week, which sees the company pushing out Docker Desktop 3.0, Docker Engine 20.10, and making its developer preview program for Docker Desktop official.
