    10  ## Version 1.5.0
    11  (2015-02-03)
    12  
    13  For a complete list of patches, fixes, and other improvements, see the
    14  [merge PR on GitHub](https://github.com/docker/docker/pull/10286).
    15  
    16  *New Features*
    17  
    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

    48  ## Known Issues
    49  
    50  This section lists significant known issues present in Docker as of release
    51  date. It is not exhaustive; it lists only issues with potentially significant
    52  impact on users. This list will be updated as issues are resolved.
    53  
    54  * **Unexpected File Permissions in Containers**
    55  An idiosyncrasy in AUFS prevents permissions from propagating predictably
    56  between upper and lower layers. This can cause issues with accessing private
    57  keys, database instances, etc. For complete information and workarounds see
    58  [Github Issue 783](https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/783).
    59  
    60  * **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
    65  forum post](https://forums.docker.com/t/new-safari-in-yosemite-issue/300).
