Docker Compose v1.7.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2016-04-13 // about 8 years ago

  • 💥 Breaking Changes

    • 🐳 docker-compose logs no longer follows log output by default. It now matches the behaviour of docker logs and exits after the current logs are printed. Use -f to get the old default behaviour.

    • Booleans are no longer allows as values for mappings in the Compose file (for keys environment, labels and extra_hosts). Previously this was a warning. Boolean values should be quoted so they become string values.

    🆕 New Features

    • Compose now looks for a .env file in the directory where it's run and reads any environment variables defined inside, if they're not already set in the shell environment. This lets you easily set defaults for variables used in the Compose file, or for any of the COMPOSE_* or DOCKER_* variables.

    • 🐳 Added a --remove-orphans flag to both docker-compose up and docker-compose down to remove containers for services that were removed from the Compose file.

    • 🐳 Added a --all flag to docker-compose rm to include containers created by docker-compose run. This will become the default behavior in the next version of Compose.

    • 🐳 Added support for all the same TLS configuration flags used by the docker client: --tls, --tlscert, --tlskey, etc.

    • 👍 Compose files now support the tmpfs and shm_size options.

    • 🐳 Added the --workdir flag to docker-compose run

    • 🐳 docker-compose logs now shows logs for new containers that are created after it starts.

    • The COMPOSE_FILE environment variable can now contain multiple files, separated by the host system's standard path separator (: on Mac/Linux, ; on Windows).

    • You can now specify a static IP address when connecting a service to a network with the ipv4_address and ipv6_address options.

    • Added --follow, --timestamp, and --tail flags to the docker-compose logs command.

    • 🐳 docker-compose up, and docker-compose start will now start containers in parallel where possible.

    • 🐳 docker-compose stop now stops containers in reverse dependency order instead of all at once.

    • 🏗 Added the --build flag to docker-compose up to force it to build a new image. It now shows a warning if an image is automatically built when the flag is not used.

    • 🐳 Added the docker-compose exec command for executing a process in a running container.
