v5.0.0 "Mont Blanc"

Major changes in this release:

  • Compose can now officially be used as a SDK to be integrated into third-party softwares
  • Internal builder has been removed, build is delegated to Docker Bake (same as docker build command)

Why "v5" ?

We decided to skip 3.0.0 for next major release after docker Compose v2 to prevent (more) confusion with the obsolete docker-compose file versions 2.x and 3.x inherited from Docker Compose v1. We also skipped 4.0.0 to have a clear separation with this legacy.
