## Release 0.11.2
This is a bug fix release, addressing the following issues:
- `weave run` did not respect DOCKER_CLIENT_ARGS. #855
- Negative result cache did not expire if requeried within TTL. #845
More details in the [change
log](https://github.com/weaveworks/weave/issues?q=milestone%3A0.11.2).
*NB: This release does not change the weave protocol version.
Therefore, when upgrading an existing 0.11 installation incrementally,
connectivity between peers will be retained.*
## Release 0.11.1
This is a bug fix release, addressing the following issues:
- The IP Allocator could crash in some relatively rare
circumstances. #782/#783.
- When the proxy failed to attach a container to the weave network,
there was no failure indication and descriptive error anywhere, and
the application process would still start. Now an error is reported
to the client (i.e. typically the Docker CLI), recorded in the proxy
logs, and the container is terminated. #788/#799.
- `weave launch-proxy --with-ipam` failed to configure the entrypoint
and DNS unless a (possibly blank) `WEAVE_CIDR` was
specified. Affected containers could start the application process
w/o the weave network interface being available, and without
functioning name resolution for the weaveDNS domain.
#744/#747/#751/#752
- The `weave status` output for the IP Allocator was misleadingly
conveying a sense of brokenness when no IP allocation requests had
been made yet. #787/#801
- When invoking `weave launch-proxy` twice, the second invocation
would output a blank line and terminate with a success exit
status. Now it reports that the proxy is already running and exits
with a non-zero status. #767/#780
- `weave launch-proxy` was not respecting WEAVEPROXY_DOCKER_ARGS, so
any user-supplied custom configuration for the weaveproxy container
was ignored. #755/#780
- The proxy was not intercepting API calls to the unversioned (1.0)
Docker Remote API. Hence none of the weave functionality was
available when Docker clients were using that version of the
API. #770/#774/#777,#809
- The proxy would crash when certain elements of the
`/containers/create` JSON were missing. We are not aware of any
Docker clients doing this, but it's been fixed regardless. #778/#777

## Release 0.11.0
**Highlights**:
- **automatic IP Address Management (IPAM)**, which allows application
containers to be started and attached to the weave network without
needing to supply an IP address.
- **proxy** for automatically attaching containers started with
ordinary `docker run`, or the Docker remote API, to the weave
network.
- ability to **add/remove extra DNS records**.
- performance and scalability improvements
- fixes for a small number of bugs discovered during testing

*NB: This release changes the weave protocol version. Therefore, when
upgrading an existing installation, all hosts need to be upgraded in
order to for them to be able to communicate and form a network.*
## Release 0.10.0
**Highlights**:
- **bug fixes**, in particular eradicating several deadlocks that could
cause peer connection failures and hangs.
- **performance and scalability improvements** to the weave control plane,
as a result of which it is now possible to construct much larger
weave networks than previously.
- **improved installation and administration**, particularly the
introduction of remote execution of the weave script in a container,
permitting fully containerised deployment of weave.
- **improved diagnostics**, such as the reporting of connection failures
in `weave status`.
- **new weaveDNS features**, most notably the caching of DNS records
for application containers, which makes finding container IP
addresses via weaveDNS much faster.

*NB: This release changes the Weave Docker image names. To upgrade
from an older version, 1) stop all application containers, 2) run
`weave reset` from the old version to remove all traces of weave, and
only then 3) install the new version.*
## Release 0.9.0
- Improve WeaveDNS to the point where it can act as the name server
for containers in nearly all situations.
- Diagnose and report peer connectivity more comprehensively.
- Adapt to changes in topology - adding & removing of weave peers,
disruption of connectivity - more rapidly.
- Cope with delays in downloading/running docker images/containers
required for weave operation.
See the
[complete change log](https://github.com/weaveworks/weave/issues?q=milestone%3A0.9.0)
for more details.
## Release 0.8.0
- Align script and image version. When the `weave` script has a
version number, i.e. it is part of an official release, it runs
docker images matching that version. Thus the script and image
versions are automatically aligned. Unversioned/unreleased `weave`
scripts run the 'latest'-tagged image versions.
- Eliminate dependency on ethtool and conntrack. Instead of requiring
these to be installed on the host, weave invokes them via a
`weavetools` docker image that contains minimally packaged versions
of these utilities.
- New `weave setup` command. This downloads all docker images used by
weave. Invoking this is strictly optional; its main purpose is to
facilitate automated installation of weave and preventing delays in
subsequent weave command execution due to image downloading.
## Release 0.7.0
This is the first release assigned a version number.
When downloading weave you now have the following choices...
1. a specific version, e.g. https://github.com/weaveworks/weave/releases/download/v0.7.0/weave
2. latest released version: https://github.com/weaveworks/weave/releases/download/latest_release/weave
3. most recent 'master' commit: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/weaveworks/weave/master/weave
Previously the only documented download location was (3). We recommend
that any automated scripts using that be changed to either (1) or (2).
