4.70.0

New

• Added a CLI hint that surfaces the Logs view when running logs, compose logs, compose attach, or compose up commands, giving you quick access to logs across all running containers. Available with the Logs (Beta) feature enabled.

Updates

• Docker Compose v5.1.2
• Docker Engine v29.4.0
• Docker Agent v1.43.0
• Docker Model Runner v1.1.33
• Docker Scout CLI v1.20.4

Bug fixes and enhancements

For all platforms:

• Fixed a bug where docker login could fail silently in CI environments due to slow Docker Hub responses causing credential store update timeouts.
• Fixed an issue where disabling Beta features also disabled Docker Model Runner.
• Fixed docker desktop start causing the Docker AI agent API daemon to fail due to an inherited CLI plugin environment variable.

For Mac:

• Fixed a crash loop where Docker Desktop repeatedly failed to start with exit status 42 after an update due to a corrupted DockerAppLaunchPath setting.
• Fixed an issue where a failed update could leave Docker Desktop in a broken state. The installer now automatically reverts to the previous version and shows a clear error message.
• Fixed a bug where stopping one container could disrupt active Unix socket forwards belonging to other running containers.

For Windows:

• Fixed an issue where a failed update could leave Docker Desktop in a broken state. The installer now automatically reverts to the previous version and shows a clear error message.
• Fixed a bug where a failed switch to Windows containers could leave Docker Desktop in a broken state, requiring a restart.
• Fixed an issue where Docker Desktop failed to launch for users with DEVHOME set in their environment.
• Temporarily rolled back process hardening that caused Electron crashes on Windows. Fixes docker/desktop-feedback#245.
