Released on July 26, 2025, adk-docker-base v1.7.0 is a targeted synchronization update designed to keep your agent development environment current. This release ensures that developers building on our base image have immediate access to the latest capabilities of the Google Agent Development Kit (ADK).

What’s new

The core of this release is a version bump of the pre-installed Google ADK. We have updated the base image from google-adk version 1.6.1 to 1.7.0.

Why it matters

By bundling the latest version of the ADK, adk-docker-base eliminates the manual overhead of updating dependencies within your own containers. This means you can start your development cycle with the most recent bug fixes, performance improvements, and feature enhancements provided by the Google ADK framework right out of the box.

Getting started

To upgrade to the latest version, simply update the base image reference in your Dockerfile:

FROM ghcr.io/unitvectory-labs/adk-docker-base:v1.7.0

Once updated, rebuild your image to begin leveraging the updated kit.
