The Docker client now allows users to specify a credential store, which acts as a delegate to generate the credentials that are used to authenticate requests to repositories. Container Registry's credential helper, docker-credential-gcr, simplifies authentication for all use cases, including working on a developer machine, working on a VM, and using a service account. This means you no longer have to use the Cloud SDK with Container Registry.

Added the Registry API _catalog command. Container Registry now implements
the catalog feature as described by the
Docker Registry API specification.

Container Registry now offers a Docker Hub mirror. When a user adds the
--registry-mirror=https://<us|eu|asia>-mirror.gcr.io flag to
their Docker daemon, any attempt to pull an image from Docker Hub results in a
call to Container Registry. If the image is found in
Container Registry's mirror, it is pulled from there, and no call is made
to Docker Hub. If the image is not found, the client gets a 404 result and
can then make a call to Docker Hub to download the image.

Container Registry Beta
Container Registry is a new service that provides private container repositories for GCP customers to support container development and deployment workflows. Container Registry is currently in Beta; it is suitable for experimentation and is intended to provide an early view of the production service, but customers are strongly encouraged not to run production workloads on it.
