Released on June 25, 2025, v1.2.0 of adk-docker-base provides a refreshed foundation for developers building AI agents. This update ensures that your development environment is aligned with the latest advancements in the Google Agent Development Kit (ADK).

What’s new

The primary focus of this release is a critical dependency update. We have bumped the pre-installed version of the Google ADK from v1.1.1 to v1.2.0.

Why it matters

For developers, the value of adk-docker-base lies in removing the friction of environment setup. By integrating ADK v1.2.0 directly into the base image, you immediately gain access to the latest features, stability improvements, and bug fixes introduced by the Google ADK team without having to manually manage versions in your own project configurations. This allows you to focus your energy on agent logic and orchestration rather than infrastructure maintenance.

Getting started

Upgrading to the latest version is seamless. Simply update the FROM instruction in your project’s Dockerfile to point to the new tag:

FROM ghcr.io/unitvectory-labs/adk-docker-base:v1.2.0

We recommend reviewing the official Google ADK v1.2.0 changelog to explore the specific framework enhancements now available in your environment.
