New Features

Docker Desktop 4.65.0 delivers several developer-focused improvements to help troubleshoot and manage containerized workflows more effectively.

Gordon Hints for Command Failures: The release introduces Gordon hints that now appear when docker build, docker run, or docker compose commands fail. These contextual suggestions help developers understand what went wrong and how to fix it, reducing time spent debugging.

OAuth Support in MCP Servers: Community MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers now support OAuth authentication directly in the UI, simplifying the authentication flow for integrations and tools that rely on MCP servers.

Docker Hardened Images Management: A new dhictl CLI plugin has been added for managing Docker Hardened Images, providing developers with better control over image security configurations.

Component Updates

This release includes updates to critical Docker tools:

  • Docker Scout CLI v1.20.1
  • Docker Agent v1.29.0
  • Docker Buildx v0.32.1

Bug Fixes and Improvements

Cross-Platform: Kubernetes now defaults to kind for new clusters. The update progress bar bug has been fixed to resume correctly.

Windows: Startup time improvements were made by skipping the docker-users group check when using the WSL2 backend.

Known Issues

The Windows MSI installer has a limitation: it cannot update Docker Desktop installations when the current version is 4.59 or later. Users must uninstall the existing version before reinstalling (note: this removes associated data). A fix is planned for a future release.
