Docker Compose 5.0.1 Released with Bug Fixes
Docker Compose v5.0.1 addresses multiple bugs including broken quiet mode, progress UI issues, and restored compatibility features.
Docker released Compose v5.0.1 as part of the latest Docker Desktop update, addressing several critical bugs and usability issues identified in the v5.0 release. The update focuses on stability improvements and restoring functionality that was inadvertently broken in earlier versions.
Key Bug Fixes
The release restores support for COMPOSE_COMPATIBILITY, ensuring backward compatibility for users relying on this environment variable. Docker Compose 5.0.1 also fixes the broken run --quiet flag, which previously failed to suppress output as expected. Progress UI improvements include fixes for terminal restoration after operations complete and corrected status alignment during operation execution.
Additional Improvements
The update includes corrections to SDK examples and adds version checks to ensure buildx version is set before comparison operations. Code quality improvements address grammatical errors, properly pluralizing 'service' and removing unnecessary apostrophes. The release also updates dependencies including github.com/go-viper/mapstructure/v2 from 2.4.0 to 2.5.0 and github.com/sirupsen/logrus to v1.9.4, incorporating upstream security and stability fixes.
