Docker Compose · v5.6.0

Compose adds partial support for jobs — only manually-triggered jobs work for now, scheduled jobs are not yet available until the corresponding Docker Engine support merges. Also adds provider services with a dedicated network relay link, image distribution on demand, and a warning on unsupported compose-file attributes.

Adds partial support for jobs — only manually-triggered jobs are supported, with scheduled jobs pending Docker Engine support — plus provider service networking including a dedicated network for the relay link and on-demand image distribution. Fixed watch rebuild coalescing during bursts of file changes, logs losing a fast run's output on restart re-attach, and --parallel not being honored across all bulk engine-call fan-outs.

Docker Compose · v5.5.1

Docker Compose v5.5.1 fixes docker compose watch syncing into symlinked directories and bake target name collisions for services differing by . vs _. Hook output now surfaces on failure, initial_sync syncs regardless of mtime, and the bridge command confirms before wiping a non-empty convert output dir. Plus a handful of smaller fixes across events, network IPAM, psFormat, Windows TTY, and provenance/SBOM attestation.

Fixed watch sync into symlinked directories, watch exclusion of Dockerfile and compose files on initial sync, and lifecycle hook output now captured and included in errors. Fixed Windows TTY progress display by handing real stdout to buildkit. Plus fixes for IPAM network options, dependency wait timeout surfacing, ps format precedence, and numerous other correctness issues across build, plugins, and display.

Docker Compose · v5.5.0

Image digest reconciliation is overhauled to prevent unnecessary container recreation, though existing containers may be recreated on the first run after upgrading as digests are re-evaluated with the new logic. compose pull now honors pull_policy refresh windows (daily, weekly, every_N). Includes fixes for build-only services, watch pruning, config hashing, and unreadable directories.

Docker Compose · v5.4.0

Compose v5.4.0 introduces a new reconciliation workflow that models volume and network lifecycle changes in the plan, fixing cases where resources were recreated unnecessarily. Also fixes build digest resolution to use the platform image-manifest digest instead of the attested index, ensures config flags apply to --services/--volumes/--networks/--models/--hash, and tolerates missing env files on scale, watch, and shell completion.

Docker Compose · v5.3.0

Init containers are now natively supported via the pre_start_init_containers field. Fixed an issue where OCI registry authorizer tokens were not routed through the configured transport, and scoped docker compose run events to project services only.

Docker Compose · v5.2.0

Introduced a new reconciliation algorithm between observed and expected container state, and added rawsetenv message type for provider plugins. Fixed TTY auto-detection via stderr, publish env_file handling with missing optional files, and skip validation when extracting config variables.

Introduces a new reconciliation algorithm between observed and expected state, which may affect existing Compose workloads. Adds rawsetenv message type for provider plugins. Fixes include bypassing Docker Desktop proxy for loopback registries, honoring env_file required: false on publish, and skipping remote URL contexts from bake fs.read allowlist.
