*New Features*
2417

25-
* You can now add labels to the Docker daemon using key=value pairs defined with
26-
the new `--label` flag. The labels are displayed by running `docker info`. In
27-
addition, `docker info` also now returns an ID and hostname field. For more
28-
information, see the
29-
[command line reference](http://docs.docker.com/reference/commandline/cli/#daemon).
30-
* The `ENV` instruction in the `Dockerfile` now supports arguments in the form
31-
of `ENV name=value name2=value2..`. For more information, see the
32-
[command line reference](http://docs.docker.com/reference/builder/#env)
33-
* Introducing a new, still
34-
[experimental, overlayfs storage driver](https://github.com/docker/docker/pull/7619/).
35-
* You can now add filters to `docker events` to filter events by event name,
36-
container, or image. For more information, see the
37-
[command line reference](http://docs.docker.com/reference/commandline/cli/#events).
38-
* The `docker cp` command now supports copying files from the filesystem of a
39-
container's volumes. For more information, see the
40-
[remote API reference](http://docs.docker.com/reference/api/docker_remote_api/).
41-
* The `docker tag` command has been fixed so that it correctly honors `--force`
42-
when overriding a tag for existing image. For more information, see
43-
the [command line reference](http://docs.docker.com/reference/commandline/cli/#tag).
44-
45-
* Container volumes are now initialized during `docker create`. For more information, see
46-
the [command line reference](http://docs.docker.com/reference/commandline/cli/#create).

*Security Fixes*
49-
50-
Patches and changes were made to address the following vulnerabilities:
51-
52-
* CVE-2014-9356: Path traversal during processing of absolute symlinks.
53-
Absolute symlinks were not adequately checked for traversal which created a
54-
vulnerability via image extraction and/or volume mounts.
55-
* CVE-2014-9357: Escalation of privileges during decompression of LZMA (.xz)
56-
archives. Docker 1.3.2 added `chroot` for archive extraction. This created a
57-
vulnerability that could allow malicious images or builds to write files to the
58-
host system and escape containerization, leading to privilege escalation.
59-
* CVE-2014-9358: Path traversal and spoofing opportunities via image
60-
identifiers. Image IDs passed either via `docker load` or registry communications
61-
were not sufficiently validated. This created a vulnerability to path traversal
62-
attacks wherein malicious images or repository spoofing could lead to graph
63-
corruption and manipulation.
64-
65-
> **Note:** the above CVEs are also patched in Docker 1.3.3, which was released
66-
> concurrently with 1.4.0.
67-
68-
*Runtime fixes*
69-
70-
* Fixed an issue that caused image archives to be read slowly.
71-
72-
*Client fixes*
73-
74-
* Fixed a regression related to STDIN redirection.
75-
* Fixed a regression involving `docker cp` when the current directory is the
76-
destination.
18+
* The Docker daemon has now supports for IPv6 networking between containers
19+
and on the `docker0` bridge. For more information see the
20+
[IPv6 networking reference](/articles/networking/#ipv6).
21+
* Docker container filesystems can now be set to`--read-only`, restricting your
22+
container to writing to volumes [PR# 10093](https://github.com/docker/docker/pull/10093).
23+
* A new `docker stats CONTAINERID` command has been added to allow users to view a
24+
continuously updating stream of container resource usage statistics. See the
25+
[`stats` command line reference](/reference/commandline/cli/#stats) and the
26+
[container `stats` API reference](/reference/api/docker_remote_api_v1.17/#get-container-stats-based-on-resource-usage).
27+
**Note**: this feature is only enabled for the `libcontainer` exec-driver at this point.
28+
* Users can now specify the file to use as the `Dockerfile` by running
29+
`docker build -f alternate.dockerfile .`. This will allow the definition of multiple
30+
`Dockerfile`s for a single project. See the [`docker build` command reference](
31+
/reference/commandline/cli/#build) for more information.
32+
* The v1 Open Image specification has been created to document the current Docker image
33+
format and metadata. Please see [the Open Image specification document](
34+
https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/image/spec/v1.md) for more details.
35+
* This release also includes a number of significant performance improvements in
36+
build and image management ([PR #9720](https://github.com/docker/docker/pull/9720),
37+
[PR #8827](https://github.com/docker/docker/pull/8827))
38+
* The `docker inspect` command now lists ExecIDs generated for each `docker exec` process.
39+
See [PR #9800](https://github.com/docker/docker/pull/9800)) for more details.
40+
* The `docker inspect` command now shows the number of container restarts when there
41+
is a restart policy ([PR #9621](https://github.com/docker/docker/pull/9621))
42+
* This version of Docker is built using Go 1.4

* **Docker Hub incompatible with Safari 8**
61+
Docker Hub has multiple issues displaying on Safari 8, the default browser
62+
for OS X 10.10 (Yosemite). Users should access the hub using a different
63+
browser. Most notably, changes in the way Safari handles cookies means that the
64+
user is repeatedly logged out. For more information, see the [Docker

forum post](https://forums.docker.com/t/new-safari-in-yosemite-issue/300).
