This is the 1.9.0-tech-preview release of Rancher Desktop, an open source desktop application to bring Kubernetes and container management to Mac, Windows, and Linux.
⚠️
Being a tech preview, this release will not be installed by the auto-update feature; you will have to download and install it manually.
New feature
This release provides a preview of the upcoming support for Docker Desktop Extensions. They can be installed via the UI from a catalog, or via the CLI from any registry.
Implementation of extension support is on-going, and this tech preview comes with a catalog of 3 extensions that are known to work with the support already in place:
Because this is not a full release, it cannot be installed as described in the official Rancher Desktop documentation. Instead, follow the developer documentation (scroll past the explanation of version format). This will let you install a development version of Rancher Desktop that has the features associated with the technical preview.
Since the technical preview changes are in the release-1.9 branch, you need to install a version of Rancher Desktop that has release1.9 in it. For example, if installing via rpm, you would use a version that looks like 0.release1.9.1681519864.1234567-7.1.
Important bug fix
Fixes an issue that was introduced in 1.8 in Rancher Desktop Agent, where If Kubernetes sends updates for services and the port mappings had not changed, the existing maps are deleted.
Other changes
There are no other new features in this release (compared to 1.8.1).
The default window size of the application has been increased.
There are some bug fixes related to deployment profiles and the first-run dialog.
