# Docker Knowledge Patch Baseline: Docker Engine 24.x and Compose 2.x. Covered range: Engine 25.0.0 through 29.3, Engine API v1.44 through v1.55, Compose 5.0.0 through 5.3.0, Buildx 0.30.0 through 0.35.0, BuildKit 0.28.0, and Dockerfile 1.22.0. Included versioned batches: 25.0.0, 26.0.0, 27.0.1, 28.0.0, 0.30.0, 5.0.0, 0.31.0, 5.1.0, 0.28.0, 1.22.0, 0.32.0, 0.33.0, 0.34.0, 0.35.0, 5.2.0, and 5.3.0. ## Use this patch 1. Identify whether the task targets Engine runtime, networking, images, the Engine API, Go integration, Buildx, BuildKit/Dockerfile, or Compose. 2. Read the matching reference before changing configuration, client calls, parsers, or automation. 3. Check both the daemon version and negotiated API version; several defaults and response shapes are API-gated. 4. Treat fresh installations, upgrades, and downgrades separately. Engine 28 and 29 include stateful storage and firewall transitions. 5. Make output parsing explicit. Several human-oriented CLI defaults changed, while event and Compose JSON streams use record framing. ## Reference index | Reference | Topics | | --- | --- | | [runtime.md](references/runtime.md) | Daemon startup and reload, storage, mounts, resources, security, rootless, Windows, Swarm, platform support | | [networking.md](references/networking.md) | Attachments, DNS, IPv4/IPv6, IPAM, gateway modes, firewall backends, routing | | [images-registry.md](references/images-registry.md) | Image store, archives, platform selection, manifests, forma...
