Docker EE is released quarterly. Releases use a time-based versioning scheme, so for example, Docker EE version 17.03 was released in March 2017. For schedule details, see Time-based release schedule.
Each Docker EE release is supported and maintained for one year and receives security and critical bug fixes during this period.
The Docker API version is independent of the Docker platform version. The API version doesn't change from Docker 1.13.1 to Docker 17.03. We maintain careful API backward compatibility and deprecate APIs and features slowly and conservatively. We remove features after deprecating them for a period of three stable releases. Docker 1.13 introduced improved interoperability between clients and servers using different API versions, including dynamic feature negotiation.
If you're a Docker DDC or CS Engine customer, you don't need to upgrade to Docker EE to continue to get support. We will continue to support customers with valid subscriptions whether the subscription covers Docker EE or Commercially Supported Docker. You can choose to stay with your current deployed version, or you can upgrade to the latest Docker EE version. For more info, see Scope of Coverage and Maintenance Lifecycle.
