Docker was updated to 1.5.0 (2015-02-10) [bnc#917647] bringing new
features and bugfixes:

  * Builder:
    - Dockerfile to use for a given `docker build` can be specified with
      the `-f` flag
    - Dockerfile and .dockerignore files can be themselves excluded as part
      of the .dockerignore file, thus preventing modifications to these files
      invalidating ADD or COPY instructions cache
    - ADD and COPY instructions accept relative paths
    - Dockerfile `FROM scratch` instruction is now interpreted as a no-base
      specifier
    - Improve performance when exposing a large number of ports
  * Hack:
    - Allow client-side only integration tests for Windows
    - Include docker-py integration tests against Docker daemon as part of our
      test suites
  * Packaging:
    - Support for the new version of the registry HTTP API
    - Speed up `docker push` for images with a majority of already existing
      layers
    - Fixed contacting a private registry through a proxy
  * Remote API:
    - A new endpoint will stream live container resource metrics and can be
      accessed with the `docker stats` command
    - Containers can be renamed using the new `rename` endpoint and the
      associated `docker rename` command
    - Container `inspect` endpoint show the ID of `exec` commands running in
      this container
    - Container `inspect` endpoint show the number of times Docker
      auto-restarted the container
    - New types of event can be streamed by the `events` endpoint: &#8216;OOM&#8217;
      (container died with out of memory), &#8216;exec_create&#8217;, and &#8216;exec_start'
    - Fixed returned string fields which hold numeric characters incorrectly
      omitting surrounding double quotes
  * Runtime:
    - Docker daemon has full IPv6 support
    - The `docker run` command can take the `--pid=host` flag to use the host
      PID namespace, which makes it possible for example to debug host processes
      using containerized debugging tools
    - The `docker run` command can take the `--read-only` flag to make the
      container&#8217;s root filesystem mounted as readonly, which can be used in
      combination with volumes to force a container&#8217;s processes to only write to
      locations that will be persisted
    - Container total memory usage can be limited for `docker run` using the
      `&#8212;memory-swap` flag
    - Major stability improvements for devicemapper storage driver
    - Better integration with host system: containers will reflect changes
      to the host's `/etc/resolv.conf` file when restarted
    - Better integration with host system: per-container iptable rules are moved
      to the DOCKER chain
    - Fixed container exiting on out of memory to return an invalid exit code
  * Other:
    - The HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, and NO_PROXY environment variables are
      properly taken into account by the client when connecting to the
      Docker daemon
