Codespaces host image upgrades Docker and compose

GitHub Codespaces will promote the current beta host image configuration to stable on 16 January as part of regular maintenance for hosts. This change includes major version updates to the Docker engine and Docker Compose packages installed on the host as well as several minor version updates. These changes should not impact development container configurations.

If your dev container depends on Docker compose, please test the beta image to ensure that your dev container does not require changes. For more details about the specific changes, see our documentation regarding host image configurations here. You can test the beta host configuration with your own codespaces by selecting the beta host image in your personal settings.
