You can now choose when to start the download and installation process. With Docker Desktop 3.3, when a new update to Docker Desktop is available, it will no longer be automatically downloaded and installed on your next restart. We are also providing additional flexibility to developers with Pro or Team subscriptions. We’ve heard you and are changing how updates to Docker Desktop work, while still maintaining the ability to provide you with smaller, faster updates. We also heard from our community that the smaller updates are appreciated, requiring immediate installation is not convenient, and automatic background downloads are problematic for developers on constrained or metered bandwidth. We’ve been listening to your feedback on our Public Roadmap and we are consistently asked for three things: smaller downloads, more flexible installation options, and more frequent feature releases, bug fixes, and security updates. Today we are pleased to announce the release of Docker Desktop 3.3. Read more about these changes in the Docker Desktop 3.4 blog.
We’ve made some changes to how it works in response to your feedback in Docker Desktop 3.4. We’ve heard your feedback regarding how the “Skip this update” behavior introduced in Docker Desktop 3.3 was confusing and missed the mark.
