Docs are updated for Beta 6! Support roaming: DNS queries are forwarded to the host Improved startup times by running a DHCP server on the host New settings dialog design Support Windows paths with -v Updated Docker CLI and daemon to 1.11.0-rc3 Updated docker-machine to 0.7.0-rc2 Updated docker-compose to 1.7.0-rc1 Now install docker-credential-wincred Allow non-root users in containers to create files on volume mounts Automatically install Hyper-V The application is now 64 bits Improved wording in all dialog boxes and error messages Removed exit confirmation Show clickable URL in the Install HyperV message box Dashboard link to Kitematic (as on Mac) Moby kernel updated to 4.4.6 The registry key was changed to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Docker Inc.\Docker\1.0

Migration from Docker Toolbox can fail sometimes. If this happens, the workaround is to restart the application.

Docker needs to open ports on the firewall, which can activate a firewall alert dialog. Users should allow the ports to be opened.

The application was upgraded to 64 bits. The installation path changed to C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker. If users have PowerShell/Cmd windows already open before the update, they might need to close them to catch the new PATH. In some cases, users need to log off and on again.
