## 4.81

[HIGH] Version mismatch: heading says 4.81 but shortcode installs 4.82.0

The new section heading on this line reads ## 4.81, but the desktop-install-v2 shortcode two lines below specifies version="4.82.0". These two values directly contradict each other — readers will see a "4.81" heading while the linked installer downloads 4.82.0.

All other sections in this file use matching version strings in the heading and shortcode (e.g. ## 4.81.0 / version="4.81.0"). The heading should be ## 4.82.0 to match the shortcode version and avoid colliding with the existing ## 4.81.0 section immediately below.

Thanks for confirming! The heading should be updated to ## 4.82.0 to match the shortcode version parameter.

[MEDIUM] Release date 2026-07-13 is one week in the future

The release date is set to 2026-07-13 while today is 2026-07-06. If this PR is merged before the release ships, the live docs will display a future date, which could mislead users who view the page between merge and the actual release.

If this is intentional pre-release prep and the PR will be merged on or after the release date, this is fine. If the date is wrong, update it to match the actual release date.

[HIGH] Placeholder build_path="//" will produce broken installer download links

The build_path parameter is set to "//", which appears to be an unfilled placeholder. Every other release entry uses a real numeric build path (e.g. build_path="/232925/", build_path="/232116/"). The shortcode uses this value to construct installer download URLs, so "//" will generate broken links for all four platform installers.

This needs to be filled in with the actual build number before merging.


### Updates

- [Docker Compose v5.3.0](https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/tag/v5.3.0)
- [Docker Agent v1.98.0](https://github.com/docker/docker-agent/releases/tag/v1.98.0)
- [Docker Scout CLI v1.23.1](https://github.com/docker/scout-cli/releases/tag/v1.23.1)

### Bug fixes and enhancements

#### For all platforms

- Added thumbs up and thumbs down feedback buttons to Gordon AI assistant responses, letting users rate replies or report issues directly from the chat.
- Fixed a bug where containers created by Docker Desktop had their stop timeout set to 1 second instead of the Docker Engine default, causing `docker stop` to terminate processes too quickly.
- Fixed reset to factory defaults not clearing MCP Toolkit profiles, catalogs and authorizations.
- Fixed an issue where selected thumbs up/down feedback buttons in Gordon were visually indistinguishable after selecting.
- Fixed reset to factory defaults not clearing downloaded LLM models.
- Fixed a bug where the Gordon chat area would go blank when the agent requested free-text input via elicitation.
- Fixed a delay in the Kubernetes screen where the progress UI did not appear immediately after confirming cluster creation or deletion.
- Fixed a rare case where Docker Desktop could shut down if the build service crashed, for example during a factory reset.
- Fixed a bug where the Kubernetes (kind) cluster failed to start with a **Failed to get API server port** error after a Docker Desktop restart.
- With `docker pass`, the `ls` command now behaves consistently across all platforms.
- Fixed an issue where users signed out due to sign-in enforcement policies were shown a generic sign-in prompt instead of a clear explanation of why they were signed out.

#### For Mac

- Fixed an issue where Docker Desktop child processes could linger after an unexpected backend exit.
- Fixed an issue where Docker Desktop failed to start for users with long home directory paths that caused Unix socket paths to exceed OS length limits.
- Fixed an issue where vsock listener failures showed a cryptic crash instead of a clear, actionable recovery dialog.

#### For Windows

- Fixed an issue where `.log` files were missing from diagnostic bundles, ensuring the Docker Desktop service log is now included.
- Lowered the priority of Docker Desktop's background processes and enabled Windows Efficiency mode while idle to reduce power and CPU usage.
- Fixed factory reset leaving containers and images behind on Hyper-V when Docker Desktop is run by a user other than the one that installed it.
- Fixed a multi-minute hang during WSL engine startup when the wsl-bootstrap process fails unexpectedly, surfacing the error promptly instead.
- Fixed an issue where auto-updates could leave Docker Desktop stuck in a 'connecting' state due to a successful installation being incorrectly rolled back.
- Fixed an issue where vsock listener failures on Windows Hyper-V showed a cryptic crash instead of a clear, actionable recovery dialog.
- Fixed a race condition where connecting to `com.docker.service` immediately after startup could result in a **File not found** error.
- Fixed an issue where a graphical installer window would flash during background auto-updates. Updates now run silently.
- Improved security by verifying the Authenticode signature of the downloaded installer before executing it during updates.
- Fixed an issue where missing or disabled Windows feature descriptions were not shown in diagnostic output.
- Improved the installer progress screen with a single continuous progress bar that smoothly advances from 0% to 100% throughout the entire installation.
- Fixed an issue where `~` in bind mount paths was not correctly resolved to the home directory when the `HOME` environment variable was not set.

#### For Linux

- Fixed an issue where Docker Desktop failed to start for users with long home directory paths that caused Unix socket paths to exceed OS length limits.

## 4.81.0
