The `~/.dockercfg` file was replaced by `~/.docker/config.json` in 2015
(github.com/docker/docker/commit/18c9b6c6455f116ae59cde8544413b3d7d294a5e),
but the CLI still falls back to checking if this file exists if no current
(`~/.docker/config.json`) file was found.
Given that no version of the CLI since Docker v1.7.0 has created this file,
and if such a file exists, it means someone hasn't re-authenticated for
5 years, it's probably safe to remove this fallback.

This feature allowed using an encrypted private key with a supplied password,
but did not provide additional security as the encryption is known to be broken,
and the key is sitting next to the password in the filesystem. Users are recommended
to decrypt the private key, and store it un-encrypted to continue using it.

This replaces the use of bash where suitable, to allow easier copy/pasting
of shell examples without copying the prompt or process output.

Docker Engine v20.10 and up includes optimizations to verify if images in the
local image cache need updating before pulling, preventing the Docker Engine
from making unnecessary API requests. These optimizations require the container
image registry to conform to the Open Container Initiative Distribution Specification
(https://github.com/opencontainers/distribution-spec).
While most registries conform to the specification, we encountered some registries
to be non-compliant, resulting in `docker pull` to fail.
As a temporary solution, Docker Engine v20.10 includes a fallback mechanism to
allow `docker pull` to be functional when using a non-compliant registry. A
warning message is printed in this situation:
WARNING Failed to pull manifest by the resolved digest. This registry does not
appear to conform to the distribution registry specification; falling back to
pull by tag. This fallback is DEPRECATED, and will be removed in a future
release.
The fallback is added to allow users to either migrate their images to a compliant
registry, or for these registries to become compliant.
Note that this fallback only addresses failures on `docker pull`. Other commands,
such as `docker stack deploy`, or pulling images with `containerd` will continue
to fail.
Given that other functionality is still broken with these registries, we consider
this fallback a _temporary_ solution, and will remove the fallback in an upcoming
major release.

Docker v17.07 introduced an experimental `--stream` flag on `docker build` which
allowed the build-context to be incrementally sent to the daemon, instead of
unconditionally sending the whole build-context.
This functionality has been reimplemented as part of BuildKit, which uses streaming
by default and the `--stream` option will be ignored when using the classic builder,
printing a deprecation warning instead.
Users that want to use this feature are encouraged to enable BuildKit by setting
the `DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1` environment variable or through the daemon or CLI configuration
files.

The experimental feature to run Linux containers on Windows (LCOW) was introduced
as a technical preview in Docker 17.09. While many enhancements were made after
its introduction, the feature never reached completeness, and development has
now stopped in favor of running docker natively on Linux in WSL2.
Developers that need to run Linux workloads on a Windows host are encouraged
to use Docker Desktop with WSL2 instead.

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 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.

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 `aufs` storage driver is deprecated in favor of `overlay2`, and will
be removed in a future release. Users of the `aufs` storage driver are
recommended to migrate to a different storage driver, such as `overlay2`, which
is now the default storage driver.
The `aufs` storage driver facilitates running Docker on distros that have no
support for OverlayFS, such as Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, which originally shipped with
a 3.14 kernel.
Now that Ubuntu 14.04 is no longer a supported distro for Docker, and `overlay2`
is available to all supported distros (as they are either on kernel 4.x, or have
support for multiple lowerdirs backported), there is no reason to continue
maintenance of the `aufs` storage driver.

The `devicemapper` storage driver is deprecated in favor of `overlay2`, and will
be removed in a future release. Users of the `devicemapper` storage driver are
recommended to migrate to a different storage driver, such as `overlay2`, which
is now the default storage driver.
The `devicemapper` storage driver facilitates running Docker on older (3.x) kernels
that have no support for other storage drivers (such as overlay2, or AUFS).
Now that support for `overlay2` is added to all supported distros (as they are
either on kernel 4.x, or have support for multiple lowerdirs backported), there

The `overlay` storage driver is deprecated in favor of the `overlay2` storage
driver, which has all the benefits of `overlay`, without its limitations (excessive
inode consumption). The legacy `overlay` storage driver will be removed in a future
release. Users of the `overlay` storage driver should migrate to the `overlay2`
storage driver.
The legacy `overlay` storage driver allowed using overlayFS-backed filesystems
on pre 4.x kernels. Now that all supported distributions are able to run `overlay2`
(as they are either on kernel 4.x, or have support for multiple lowerdirs
backported), there is no reason to keep maintaining the `overlay` storage driver.

The `repository:shortid` syntax for referencing images is very little used,
collides with with tag references can be confused with digest references.
