New

• Gordon now has persistent local memory, allowing it to remember your preferences and context across sessions.

Updates

• Docker Agent v1.39.0
• Docker Model v1.1.28

Bug fixes and enhancements

For all platforms

• Fixed a deadlock in Enhanced Container Isolation that caused containers to hang indefinitely during creation when ECI was enabled.
• Added a warning banner to alert when an MCP server is community-provided and has not been verified by Docker.
• Added a persistent Show timestamps toggle to the Logs view, allowing timestamps to be hidden in both table and visualiser views across sessions.
• Fixed an issue where Docker Desktop frontend processes were not properly terminated on quit.
• Fixed a deadlock when settings controlled by admins reload that could cause Docker Desktop to become unresponsive during sign in or sign out operations.
• Fixed a bug where Docker Desktop could fail to start due to uncorrectable filesystem errors on the disk image not being repaired.
• Fixed a bug that caused Enhanced Container Isolation (ECI) to inadvertently block startup of Kubernetes clusters.
• Fixed an issue where a failed volume size fetch could make the Volumes view inaccessible; container counts on volumes now correctly exclude bind mounts.
• Fixed race conditions in volume backup that could cause containers to be incorrectly restarted, export logs to be corrupted, or runtime panics when scheduling tasks.
• Fixed a crash in the API cache that occurred when containers with no names caused a panic disrupting container listing.
• Fixed a bug where starting a container could fail with ENOENT if a bind-mount parent directory was deleted while no container was using it.

For Mac

• Fixed a security vulnerability where tampered user-deployed config profiles could bypass organization sign-in enforcement.
• Fixed a bug where a failed vmnetd handshake could dispatch a bogus command on a broken connection, causing unexpected networking errors.
• Fixed a bug where the Docker Desktop Dashboard could be prematurely displayed when restoring to a fullscreen state on launch.
• Fixed nested bind mounts showing empty child mount content on VirtioFS when using Docker Compose with multiple services sharing a volume. Fixes docker/desktop-feedback#264.

For Windows

• Fixed an issue where the installer extraction did not update the progress bar and could take around 5 minutes, depending on the machine. Extraction is now ~60% faster and includes proper progress updates.
• Fixed a race condition where container ports would sometimes not be published correctly after container start, affecting ephemeral ports, --publish-all, and gateway IP bindings.
• Fixed an issue where a failed WSL distro move could leave the distro unregistered.

For Mac

For Windows

• Fixed Hyper-V being silently re-enabled on every EXE upgrade for WSL 2 users.
• Fixed an MSI installer bug where Docker Desktop processes could be left running after uninstall.
• Fixed an issue on Windows where installations or updates using --installation-dir would fail due to the installer archive being extracted into the custom installation directory.
• Improved Docker Desktop startup time on Windows by several seconds when using WSL 2.
• Fixed a bug on the Models > Logs screen which caused docker-model processes to accumulate on Windows each time the screen was visited.

Security
