The CLI disabled experimental features by default, requiring users
to set a configuration option to enable them.
Disabling experimental features was a request from Enterprise users
that did not want experimental features to be accessible.
We are changing this policy, and now enable experimental features
by default. Experimental features may still change and/or removed,
and will be highlighted in the documentation and "usage" output.
For example, the `docker manifest inspect --help` output now shows:
EXPERIMENTAL:
docker manifest inspect is an experimental feature.
Experimental features provide early access to product functionality. These features
may change between releases without warning or can be removed entirely from a future
release. Learn more about experimental features: https://docs.docker.com/go/experimental/

The Dockerfile `ENV` instruction allows values to be set using either `ENV name=value`
or `ENV name value`. The latter (`ENV name value`) form can be ambiguous, for example,
the following defines a single env-variable (`ONE`) with value `"TWO= THREE=world"`,
but may have intended to be setting three env-vars:
ENV ONE TWO= THREE=world
This format also does not allow setting multiple environment-variables in a single
`ENV` line in the Dockerfile.
Use of the `ENV name value` syntax is discouraged, and may be removed in a future
release. Users are encouraged to update their Dockerfiles to use the `ENV name=value`
syntax, for example:
ENV ONE="" TWO="" THREE="world"

The `ENV key value` form can be ambiguous, for example, the following defines
a single env-variable (`ONE`) with value `"TWO= THREE=world"`:
ENV ONE TWO= THREE=world
While we cannot deprecate/remove that syntax (as it would break existing
Dockerfiles), we should reduce exposure of the format in our examples.

When creating and updating services, we need to avoid unneeded service churn.
The interaction of separate lists to "add" and "drop" capabilities, a special
("ALL") capability, as well as a "relaxed" format for accepted capabilities
(case-insensitive, `CAP_` prefix optional) make this rather involved.
This patch updates how we handle `--cap-add` / `--cap-drop` when _creating_ as
well as _updating_, with the following rules/assumptions applied:
- both existing (service spec) and new (values passed through flags or in
the compose-file) are normalized and de-duplicated before use.
- the special "ALL" capability is equivalent to "all capabilities" and taken
into account when normalizing capabilities. Combining "ALL" capabilities
and other capabilities is therefore equivalent to just specifying "ALL".
- adding capabilities takes precedence over dropping, which means that if
a capability is both set to be "dropped" and to be "added", it is removed
from the list to "drop".
- the final lists should be sorted and normalized to reduce service churn
- no validation of capabilities is handled by the client. Validation is
delegated to the daemon/server.
When deploying a service using a docker-compose file, the docker-compose file
is *mostly* handled as being "declarative". However, many of the issues outlined
above also apply to compose-files, so similar handling is applied to compose
files as well to prevent service churn.

The docker CLI up until v1.7.0 used the `~/.dockercfg` file to store credentials
after authenticating to a registry (`docker login`). Docker v1.7.0 replaced this
file with a new CLI configuration file, located in `~/.docker/config.json`. When
implementing the new configuration file, the old file (and file-format) was kept
as a fall-back, to assist existing users with migrating to the new file.
Given that the old file format encourages insecure storage of credentials
(credentials are stored unencrypted), and that no version of the CLI since
Docker v1.7.0 has created this file, the file is marked deprecated, and support
for this file will be removed in a future release.

This adds the currently selected "docker context" to the output
of "docker version", which allows users to see which context
is selected to produce the version output, and can be used (for
example), to set the prompt to the currently selected context:
(in `~/.bashrc`):
```bash
function docker_context_prompt() {
PS1="context: $(docker version --format='{{.Client.Context}}')> "
}
PROMPT_COMMAND=docker_context_prompt
```
After reloading the `~/.bashrc`, the prompt now shows the currently selected
`docker context`:
```bash
$ source ~/.bashrc
context: default> docker context create --docker host=unix:///var/run/docker.sock my-context
my-context
Successfully created context "my-context"
context: default> docker context use my-context
my-context

* Added two new modes accepted by the `--mode` flag
* `replicated-job` creates a replicated job
* `global-job` creates a global job.
* When using `replicated-job` mode, the `replicas` flag sets the
`TotalCompletions` parameter of the job. This is the total number of
tasks that will run
* Added a new flag, `max-concurrent`, for use with `replicated-job`
mode. This flag sets the `MaxConcurrent` parameter of the job, which
is the maximum number of replicas the job will run simultaneously.
* When using `replicated-job` or `global-job` mode, using any of the
update parameter flags will result in an error, as jobs cannot be
updated in the traditional sense.
* Updated the `docker service ls` UI to include the completion status
(completed vs total tasks) if the service is a job.
* Updated the progress bars UI for service creation and update to
support jobs. For jobs, there is displayed a bar covering the overall
progress of the job (the number of tasks completed over the total
number of tasks to complete).
* Added documentation explaining the use of the new flags, and of jobs
in general.

The deprecation policy was written when we had monthly releases
(edge+stable), and stable releases were released every 3 months.
The release cadence has changed to be longer than 3 months for
stable releases, so adjusting the policy accordingly.
Note that the policy continues to be "at least x releases", so
even though we _can_ remove a feature after one release, it does
not mean we _must_ remove it: announcing deprecations early helps
users migrate away from features we do not intent to support in
future.

The `docker push` command up until [v0.9.1](https://github.com/moby/moby/blob/v0.9.1/api/client.go#L998)
always pushed all tags of a given image, so `docker push foo/bar` would push (e.g.)
all of `foo/bar:latest`, `foo:/bar:v1`, `foo/bar:v1.0.0`.
Pushing all tags of an image was not desirable in many case, so docker v0.10.0
enhanced `docker push` to optionally specify a tag to push (`docker push foo/bar:v1`)
(see https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/3411 and the pull request that implemented
this: https://github.com/moby/moby/pull/4948).
This behavior exists up until today, and is confusing, because unlike other commands,
`docker push` does not default to use the `:latest` tag when omitted, but instead
makes it push "all tags of the image"
For example, in the following situation;
```
docker images
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
thajeztah/myimage latest b534869c81f0 41 hours ago 1.22MB
```
Running `docker push thajeztah/myimage` seemingly does the expected behavior (it
pushes `thajeztah/myimage:latest` to Docker Hub), however, it does not so for the
reason expected (`:latest` being the default tag), but because `:latest` happens
to be the only tag present for the `thajeztah/myimage` image.
If another tag exists for the image:
```
docker images
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
thajeztah/myimage latest b534869c81f0 41 hours ago 1.22MB
thajeztah/myimage v1.0.0 b534869c81f0 41 hours ago 1.22MB
```
Running the same command (`docker push thajeztah/myimage`) will push _both_ images
to Docker Hub.
> Note that the behavior described above is currently not (clearly) documented;
> the `docker push` reference documentation (https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/push/)
does not mention that omitting the tag will push all tags
This patch changes the default behavior, and if no tag is specified, `:latest` is
assumed. To push _all_ tags, a new flag (`-a` / `--all-tags`) is added, similar
to the flag that's present on `docker pull`.
With this change:
- `docker push myname/myimage` will be the equivalent of `docker push myname/myimage:latest`
- to push all images, the user needs to set a flag (`--all-tags`), so `docker push --all-tags myname/myimage:latest`
