## v1.43 API changes

[Docker Engine API v1.43](https://docs.docker.com/engine/api/v1.43/) documentation

* `POST /containers/create` now accepts `Annotations` as part of `HostConfig`.
  Can be used to attach arbitrary metadata to the container, which will also be
  passed to the runtime when the container is started.
* `GET /images/json` no longer includes hardcoded `<none>:<none>` and
  `<none>@<none>` in `RepoTags` and`RepoDigests` for untagged images.
  In such cases, empty arrays will be produced instead.
* The `VirtualSize` field in the `GET /images/{name}/json`, `GET /images/json`,
  and `GET /system/df` responses is deprecated and will no longer be included
  in API v1.44. Use the `Size` field instead, which contains the same information.
* `GET /info` now includes `no-new-privileges` in the `SecurityOptions` string
  list when this option is enabled globally. This change is not versioned, and
  affects all API versions if the daemon has this patch.

## v1.42 API changes

[Docker Engine API v1.42](https://docs.docker.com/engine/api/v1.42/) documentation

* Removed the `BuilderSize` field on the `GET /system/df` endpoint. This field
  was introduced in API 1.31 as part of an experimental feature, and no longer
  used since API 1.40.
  Use field `BuildCache` instead to track storage used by the builder component.
* `POST /containers/{id}/stop` and `POST /containers/{id}/restart` now accept a
  `signal` query parameter, which allows overriding the container's default stop-
  signal.
* `GET /images/json` now accepts query parameter `shared-size`. When set `true`,
  images returned will include `SharedSize`, which provides the size on disk shared
  with other images present on the system.
* `GET /system/df` now accepts query parameter `type`. When set,
  computes and returns data only for the specified object type.
  The parameter can be specified multiple times to select several object types.
  Supported values are: `container`, `image`, `volume`, `build-cache`.
* `GET /system/df` can now be used concurrently. If a request is made while a
  previous request is still being processed, the request will receive the result
  of the already running calculation, once completed. Previously, an error
  (`a disk usage operation is already running`) would be returned in this
  situation. This change is not versioned, and affects all API versions if the
  daemon has this patch.
* The `POST /images/create` now supports both the operating system and architecture
  that is passed through the `platform` query parameter when using the `fromSrc`
  option to import an image from an archive. Previously, only the operating system
  was used and the architecture was ignored. If no `platform` option is set, the
  host's operating system and architecture as used as default. This change is not
  versioned, and affects all API versions if the daemon has this patch.
* The `POST /containers/{id}/wait` endpoint now returns a `400` status code if an
  invalid `condition` is provided (on API 1.30 and up).
* Removed the `KernelMemory` field from the `POST /containers/create` and
  `POST /containers/{id}/update` endpoints, any value it is set to will be ignored
  on API version `v1.42` and up. Older API versions still accept this field, but
  may take no effect, depending on the kernel version and OCI runtime in use.
* `GET /containers/{id}/json` now omits the `KernelMemory` and `KernelMemoryTCP`
  if they are not set.
* `GET /info` now omits the `KernelMemory` and `KernelMemoryTCP` if they are not
  supported by the host or host's configuration (if cgroups v2 are in use).
* `GET /_ping` and `HEAD /_ping` now return `Builder-Version` by default.
  This header contains the default builder to use, and is a recommendation as
  advertised by the daemon. However, it is up to the client to choose which builder
  to use.

  The default value on Linux is version "2" (BuildKit), but the daemon can be
  configured to recommend version "1" (classic Builder). Windows does not yet
  support BuildKit for native Windows images, and uses "1" (classic builder) as
  a default.

  This change is not versioned, and affects all API versions if the daemon has
  this patch. 
* `GET /_ping` and `HEAD /_ping` now return a `Swarm` header, which allows a
  client to detect if Swarm is enabled on the daemon, without having to call
  additional endpoints.
  This change is not versioned, and affects all API versions if the daemon has
  this patch. Clients must consider this header "optional", and fall back to
  using other endpoints to get this information if the header is not present.

  The `Swarm` header can contain one of the following values:

    - "inactive"
    - "pending"
    - "error"
    - "locked"
    - "active/worker"
    - "active/manager"
* `POST /containers/create` for Windows containers now accepts a new syntax in
  `HostConfig.Resources.Devices.PathOnHost`. As well as the existing `class/<GUID>`
  syntax, `<IDType>://<ID>` is now recognised. Support for specific `<IDType>` values
  depends on the underlying implementation and Windows version. This change is not
  versioned, and affects all API versions if the daemon has this patch.
* `GET /containers/{id}/attach`, `GET /exec/{id}/start`, `GET /containers/{id}/logs`
  `GET /services/{id}/logs` and `GET /tasks/{id}/logs` now set Content-Type header
  to `application/vnd.docker.multiplexed-stream` when a multiplexed stdout/stderr 
  stream is sent to client, `application/vnd.docker.raw-stream` otherwise.
* `POST /volumes/create` now accepts a new `ClusterVolumeSpec` to create a cluster
  volume (CNI). This option can only be used if the daemon is a Swarm manager.
  The Volume response on creation now also can contain a `ClusterVolume` field
  with information about the created volume.
* The `BuildCache.Parent` field, as returned by `GET /system/df` is deprecated
  and is now omitted. API versions before v1.42 continue to include this field.
* `GET /system/df` now includes a new `Parents` field, for "build-cache" records,
  which contains a list of parent IDs for the build-cache record.
* Volume information returned by `GET /volumes/{name}`, `GET /volumes` and
  `GET /system/df` can now contain a `ClusterVolume` if the volume is a cluster
  volume (requires the daemon to be a Swarm manager).
* The `Volume` type, as returned by `Added new `ClusterVolume` fields 
* Added a new `PUT /volumes{name}` endpoint to update cluster volumes (CNI).
  Cluster volumes are only supported if the daemon is a Swarm manager.
* `GET /containers/{name}/attach/ws` endpoint now accepts `stdin`, `stdout` and
  `stderr` query parameters to only attach to configured streams.

  NOTE: These parameters were documented before in older API versions, but not
  actually supported. API versions before v1.42 continue to ignore these parameters
  and default to attaching to all streams. To preserve the pre-v1.42 behavior,
  set all three query parameters (`?stdin=1,stdout=1,stderr=1`).
* `POST /containers/create` on Linux now respects the `HostConfig.ConsoleSize` property.
  Container is immediately created with the desired terminal size and clients no longer
  need to set the desired size on their own.
* `POST /containers/create` allow to set `CreateMountpoint` for host path to be
  created if missing. This brings parity with `Binds`
* `POST /containers/create` rejects request if BindOptions|VolumeOptions|TmpfsOptions
  is set with a non-matching mount Type.
* `POST /containers/{id}/exec` now accepts an optional `ConsoleSize` parameter.
  It allows to set the console size of the executed process immediately when it's created.
* `POST /volumes/prune` will now only prune "anonymous" volumes (volumes which were not given a name) by default. A new filter parameter `all` can be set to a truth-y value (`true`, `1`) to get the old behavior.

## v1.41 API changes

[Docker Engine API v1.41](https://docs.docker.com/engine/api/v1.41/) documentation

* `GET /events` now returns `prune` events after pruning resources have completed.
  Prune events are returned for `container`, `network`, `volume`, `image`, and
  `builder`, and have a `reclaimed` attribute, indicating the amount of space
  reclaimed (in bytes).
* `GET /info` now returns a `CgroupVersion` field, containing the cgroup version.
* `GET /info` now returns a `DefaultAddressPools` field, containing a list of
  custom default address pools for local networks, which can be specified in the
  `daemon.json` file or `--default-address-pool` dockerd option.
* `POST /services/create` and `POST /services/{id}/update` now supports `BindOptions.NonRecursive`.
* The `ClusterStore` and `ClusterAdvertise` fields in `GET /info` are deprecated
  and are now omitted if they contain an empty value. This change is not versioned,
  and affects all API versions if the daemon has this patch.
* The `filter` (singular) query parameter, which was deprecated in favor of the
  `filters` option in Docker 1.13, has now been removed from the `GET /images/json`
  endpoint. The parameter remains available when using API version 1.40 or below.
* `GET /services` now returns `CapAdd` and `CapDrop` as part of the `ContainerSpec`.
* `GET /services/{id}` now returns `CapAdd` and `CapDrop` as part of the `ContainerSpec`.
* `POST /services/create` now accepts `CapAdd` and `CapDrop` as part of the `ContainerSpec`.
* `POST /services/{id}/update` now accepts `CapAdd` and `CapDrop` as part of the `ContainerSpec`.
* `GET /tasks` now  returns `CapAdd` and `CapDrop` as part of the `ContainerSpec`.
* `GET /tasks/{id}` now  returns `CapAdd` and `CapDrop` as part of the `ContainerSpec`.
* `GET /services` now returns `Pids` in `TaskTemplate.Resources.Limits`.
* `GET /services/{id}` now returns `Pids` in `TaskTemplate.Resources.Limits`.
* `POST /services/create` now accepts `Pids` in `TaskTemplate.Resources.Limits`.
* `POST /services/{id}/update` now accepts `Pids` in `TaskTemplate.Resources.Limits`
  to limit the maximum number of PIDs.
* `GET /tasks` now  returns `Pids` in `TaskTemplate.Resources.Limits`.
* `GET /tasks/{id}` now  returns `Pids` in `TaskTemplate.Resources.Limits`.
* `POST /containers/create` now accepts a `platform` query parameter in the format
  `os[/arch[/variant]]`.

  When set, the daemon checks if the requested image is present in the local image
  cache with the given OS and Architecture, and otherwise returns a `404` status.

  If the option is _not_ set, the host's native OS and Architecture are used to
  look up the image in the image cache. However, if no platform is passed and the
  given image _does_ exist in the local image cache, but its OS or architecture
  do not match, the container is created with the available image, and a warning
  is added to the `Warnings` field in the response, for example;

      WARNING: The requested image's platform (linux/arm64/v8) does not
               match the detected host platform (linux/amd64) and no
               specific platform was requested

* `POST /containers/create` on Linux now accepts the `HostConfig.CgroupnsMode` property.
  Set the property to `host` to create the container in the daemon's cgroup namespace, or
  `private` to create the container in its own private cgroup namespace.  The per-daemon
  default is `host`, and can be changed by using the`CgroupNamespaceMode` daemon configuration
  parameter.
* `GET /info` now  returns an `OSVersion` field, containing the operating system's
  version. This change is not versioned, and affects all API versions if the daemon
  has this patch.
* `GET /info` no longer returns the `SystemStatus` field if it does not have a
  value set. This change is not versioned, and affects all API versions if the
  daemon has this patch.
* `GET /services` now accepts query parameter `status`. When set `true`,
  services returned will include `ServiceStatus`, which provides Desired,
  Running, and Completed task counts for the service.
* `GET /services` may now include `ReplicatedJob` or `GlobalJob` as the `Mode`
  in a `ServiceSpec`.
* `GET /services/{id}` may now include `ReplicatedJob` or `GlobalJob` as the
  `Mode` in a `ServiceSpec`.
* `POST /services/create` now accepts `ReplicatedJob or `GlobalJob` as the `Mode`
  in the `ServiceSpec.
* `POST /services/{id}/update` accepts updating the fields of the
  `ReplicatedJob` object in the `ServiceSpec.Mode`. The service mode still
  cannot be changed, however.
* `GET /services` now includes `JobStatus` on Services with mode
  `ReplicatedJob` or `GlobalJob`.
* `GET /services/{id}` now includes `JobStatus` on Services with mode
  `ReplicatedJob` or `GlobalJob`.
* `GET /tasks` now includes `JobIteration` on Tasks spawned from a job-mode
  service.
* `GET /tasks/{id}` now includes `JobIteration` on the task if spawned from a
  job-mode service.
* `GET /containers/{id}/stats` now accepts a query param (`one-shot`) which, when used with `stream=false` fetches a
  single set of stats instead of waiting for two collection cycles to have 2 CPU stats over a 1 second period.
* The `KernelMemory` field in `HostConfig.Resources` is now deprecated.
* The `KernelMemory` field in `Info` is now deprecated.
* `GET /services` now returns `Ulimits` as part of `ContainerSpec`.
* `GET /services/{id}` now returns `Ulimits` as part of `ContainerSpec`.
* `POST /services/create` now accepts `Ulimits` as part of `ContainerSpec`.
* `POST /services/{id}/update` now accepts `Ulimits` as part of `ContainerSpec`.

## v1.40 API changes

[Docker Engine API v1.40](https://docs.docker.com/engine/api/v1.40/) documentation

* The `/_ping` endpoint can now be accessed both using `GET` or `HEAD` requests.
  when accessed using a `HEAD` request, all headers are returned, but the body
  is empty (`Content-Length: 0`). This change is not versioned, and affects all
  API versions if the daemon has this patch. Clients are recommended to try
  using `HEAD`, but fallback to `GET` if the `HEAD` requests fails.
* `GET /_ping` and `HEAD /_ping` now set `Cache-Control` and `Pragma` headers to
  prevent the result from being cached. This change is not versioned, and affects
  all API versions if the daemon has this patch.
* `GET /services` now returns `Sysctls` as part of the `ContainerSpec`.
* `GET /services/{id}` now returns `Sysctls` as part of the `ContainerSpec`.
* `POST /services/create` now accepts `Sysctls` as part of the `ContainerSpec`.
* `POST /services/{id}/update` now accepts `Sysctls` as part of the `ContainerSpec`.
* `POST /services/create` now accepts `Config` as part of `ContainerSpec.Privileges.CredentialSpec`.
* `POST /services/{id}/update` now accepts `Config` as part of `ContainerSpec.Privileges.CredentialSpec`.
* `POST /services/create` now includes `Runtime` as an option in `ContainerSpec.Configs`
* `POST /services/{id}/update` now includes `Runtime` as an option in `ContainerSpec.Configs`
* `GET /tasks` now  returns `Sysctls` as part of the `ContainerSpec`.
* `GET /tasks/{id}` now  returns `Sysctls` as part of the `ContainerSpec`.
* `GET /networks` now supports a `dangling` filter type. When set to `true` (or
  `1`), the endpoint returns all networks that are not in use by a container. When
  set to `false` (or `0`), only networks that are in use by one or more containers
  are returned.
* `GET /nodes` now supports a filter type `node.label` filter to filter nodes based
  on the node.label. The format of the label filter is `node.label=<key>`/`node.label=<key>=<value>`
  to return those with the specified labels, or `node.label!=<key>`/`node.label!=<key>=<value>`
  to return those without the specified labels.
* `POST /containers/create` now accepts a `fluentd-async` option in `HostConfig.LogConfig.Config`
  when using the Fluentd logging driver. This option deprecates the `fluentd-async-connect`
  option, which remains funtional, but will be removed in a future release. Users
  are encouraged to use the `fluentd-async` option going forward. This change is
  not versioned, and affects all API versions if the daemon has this patch.
* `POST /containers/create` now accepts a `fluentd-request-ack` option in
  `HostConfig.LogConfig.Config` when using the Fluentd logging driver. If enabled,
  the Fluentd logging driver sends the chunk option with a unique ID. The server
  will respond with an acknowledgement. This option improves the reliability of
  the message transmission. This change is not versioned, and affects all API
  versions if the daemon has this patch.
* `POST /containers/create`, `GET /containers/{id}/json`, and `GET /containers/json` now supports
  `BindOptions.NonRecursive`.
* `POST /swarm/init` now accepts a `DataPathPort` property to set data path port number.

* `GET /info` now returns `PidsLimit` boolean to indicate if the host kernel has
  PID limit support enabled.
* `GET /info` now includes `name=rootless` in `SecurityOptions` when the daemon is running in
  rootless mode.  This change is not versioned, and affects all API versions if the daemon has
  this patch.
* `GET /info` now returns `none` as `CgroupDriver` when the daemon is running in rootless mode.
  This change is not versioned, and affects all API versions if the daemon has this patch.
* `POST /containers/create` now accepts `DeviceRequests` as part of `HostConfig`.
  Can be used to set Nvidia GPUs.
* `GET /swarm` endpoint now returns DataPathPort info
* `POST /containers/create` now takes `KernelMemoryTCP` field to set hard limit for kernel TCP buffer memory.
* `GET /service` now  returns `MaxReplicas` as part of the `Placement`.
* `GET /service/{id}` now  returns `MaxReplicas` as part of the `Placement`.
* `POST /service/create` and `POST /services/(id or name)/update` now take the field `MaxReplicas`
  as part of the service `Placement`, allowing to specify maximum replicas per node for the service.
* `POST /containers/create` on Linux now creates a container with `HostConfig.IpcMode=private`
  by default, if IpcMode is not explicitly specified. The per-daemon default can be changed
  back to `shareable` by using `DefaultIpcMode` daemon configuration parameter.
* `POST /containers/{id}/update` now accepts a `PidsLimit` field to tune a container's
  PID limit. Set `0` or `-1` for unlimited. Leave `null` to not change the current value.
* `POST /build` now accepts `outputs` key for configuring build outputs when using BuildKit mode.

## V1.39 API changes

[Docker Engine API v1.39](https://docs.docker.com/engine/api/v1.39/) documentation

* `GET /info` now returns an empty string, instead of `<unknown>` for `KernelVersion`
  and `OperatingSystem` if the daemon was unable to obtain this information.
* `GET /info` now returns information about the product license, if a license
  has been applied to the daemon.

  This endpoint can be used to run interactive long-running protocols between the
  client and the daemon.

## V1.38 API changes

[Docker Engine API v1.38](https://docs.docker.com/engine/api/v1.38/) documentation


* `GET /tasks` and `GET /tasks/{id}` now return a `NetworkAttachmentSpec` field,
  containing the `ContainerID` for non-service containers connected to "attachable"
  swarm-scoped networks.

* `POST /services/create` and `POST /services/(id)/update` now accepts an
  `Isolation` field on container spec to set the Isolation technology of the
  containers running the service (`default`, `process`, or `hyperv`). This
  configuration is only used for Windows containers.
* `GET /containers/(name)/logs` now supports an additional query parameter: `until`,
  which returns log lines that occurred before the specified timestamp.
* `POST /containers/{id}/exec` now accepts a `WorkingDir` property to set the
  work-dir for the exec process, independent of the container's work-dir.
* `Get /version` now returns a `Platform.Name` field, which can be used by products
  using Moby as a foundation to return information about the platform.
* `Get /version` now returns a `Components` field, which can be used to return
  information about the components used. Information about the engine itself is
  now included as a "Component" version, and contains all information from the
  top-level `Version`, `GitCommit`, `APIVersion`, `MinAPIVersion`, `GoVersion`,
  `Os`, `Arch`, `BuildTime`, `KernelVersion`, and `Experimental` fields. Going
  forward, the information from the `Components` section is preferred over their
  top-level counterparts.


## v1.34 API changes

[Docker Engine API v1.34](https://docs.docker.com/engine/api/v1.34/) documentation

* `POST /containers/(name)/wait?condition=removed` now also also returns
  in case of container removal failure. A pointer to a structure named
  `Error` added to the response JSON in order to indicate a failure.
  If `Error` is `null`, container removal has succeeded, otherwise
  the test of an error message indicating why container removal has failed
  is available from `Error.Message` field.

## v1.33 API changes

[Docker Engine API v1.33](https://docs.docker.com/engine/api/v1.33/) documentation

* `GET /events` now supports filtering 4 more kinds of events: `config`, `node`,
`secret` and `service`.

## v1.32 API changes

[Docker Engine API v1.32](https://docs.docker.com/engine/api/v1.32/) documentation

* `POST /images/create` now accepts a `platform` parameter in the form of `os[/arch[/variant]]`.
* `POST /containers/create` now accepts additional values for the
  `HostConfig.IpcMode` property. New values are `private`, `shareable`,
  and `none`.
* `DELETE /networks/{id or name}` fixed issue where a `name` equal to another
  network's name was able to mask that `id`. If both a network with the given
  _name_ exists, and a network with the given _id_, the network with the given
  _id_ is now deleted. This change is not versioned, and affects all API versions
  if the daemon has this patch.

## v1.31 API changes

[Docker Engine API v1.31](https://docs.docker.com/engine/api/v1.31/) documentation

* `DELETE /secrets/(name)` now returns status code 404 instead of 500 when the secret does not exist.
* `POST /secrets/create` now returns status code 409 instead of 500 when creating an already existing secret.
* `POST /secrets/create` now accepts a `Driver` struct, allowing the
  `Name` and driver-specific `Options` to be passed to store a secrets
  in an external secrets store. The `Driver` property can be omitted
  if the default (internal) secrets store is used.
* `GET /secrets/(id)` and `GET /secrets` now return a `Driver` struct,
  containing the `Name` and driver-specific `Options` of the external
  secrets store used to store the secret. The `Driver` property is
  omitted if no external store is used.
* `POST /secrets/(name)/update` now returns status code 400 instead of 500 when updating a secret's content which is not the labels.
* `POST /nodes/(name)/update` now returns status code 400 instead of 500 when demoting last node fails.
* `GET /networks/(id or name)` now takes an optional query parameter `scope` that will filter the network based on the scope (`local`, `swarm`, or `global`).

  the daemon. This endpoint is experimental and only available if the daemon is started with experimental features
  enabled.
* `GET /images/(name)/get` now includes an `ImageMetadata` field which contains image metadata that is local to the engine and not part of the image config.
* `POST /services/create` now accepts a `PluginSpec` when `TaskTemplate.Runtime` is set to `plugin`
* `GET /events` now supports config events `create`, `update` and `remove` that are emitted when users create, update or remove a config
* `GET /volumes/` and `GET /volumes/{name}` now return a `CreatedAt` field,
  containing the date/time the volume was created. This field is omitted if the
  creation date/time for the volume is unknown. For volumes with scope "global",
  this field represents the creation date/time of the local _instance_ of the
  volume, which may differ from instances of the same volume on different nodes.
* `GET /system/df` now returns a `CreatedAt` field for `Volumes`. Refer to the
  `/volumes/` endpoint for a description of this field.

## v1.30 API changes

[Docker Engine API v1.30](https://docs.docker.com/engine/api/v1.30/) documentation

* `GET /info` now returns the list of supported logging drivers, including plugins.
* `GET /info` and `GET /swarm` now returns the cluster-wide swarm CA info if the node is in a swarm: the cluster root CA certificate, and the cluster TLS
 leaf certificate issuer's subject and public key. It also displays the desired CA signing certificate, if any was provided as part of the spec.
* `POST /build/` now (when not silent) produces an `Aux` message in the JSON output stream with payload `types.BuildResult` for each image produced. The final such message will reference the image resulting from the build.
* `GET /nodes` and `GET /nodes/{id}` now returns additional information about swarm TLS info if the node is part of a swarm: the trusted root CA, and the
 issuer's subject and public key.
* `GET /distribution/(name)/json` is a new endpoint that returns a JSON output stream with payload `types.DistributionInspect` for an image name. It includes a descriptor with the digest, and supported platforms retrieved from directly contacting the registry.
* `POST /swarm/update` now accepts 3 additional parameters as part of the swarm spec's CA configuration; the desired CA certificate for
 the swarm, the desired CA key for the swarm (if not using an external certificate), and an optional parameter to force swarm to
 generate and rotate to a new CA certificate/key pair.
* `POST /service/create` and `POST /services/(id or name)/update` now take the field `Platforms` as part of the service `Placement`, allowing to specify platforms supported by the service.
* `POST /containers/(name)/wait` now accepts a `condition` query parameter to indicate which state change condition to wait for. Also, response headers are now returned immediately to acknowledge that the server has registered a wait callback for the client.
* `POST /swarm/init` now accepts a `DataPathAddr` property to set the IP-address or network interface to use for data traffic
* `POST /swarm/join` now accepts a `DataPathAddr` property to set the IP-address or network interface to use for data traffic
