Docker Community Edition (CE) is ideal for developers and small
|
|
teams looking to get started with Docker and experimenting with container-based
|
|
apps. Docker CE has two update channels, **stable** and **edge**:
|
|
|
|
* **Stable** gives you reliable updates every quarter.
|
|
* **Edge** gives you new features every month.
|
|
|

## Time-based release schedule
|
|
|
|
Starting with Docker 17.03, Docker uses a time-based release schedule.
|
|
|
|
- Docker CE Edge releases generally happen monthly.
|
|
- Docker CE Stable releases generally happen quarterly, with patch releases as
|
|
needed.
|
|
|
|
### Updates, and patches
|
|
|
|
- A given Docker CE Stable release receives patches and updates for **one
|
|
month after the next Docker CE Stable release**.
|
|
- A given Docker CE Edge release does not receive any patches or updates after
|
|
a subsequent Docker CE Edge or Stable release.
