Docker image version

FreeFEM installation
1

Dear FreeFem users, (@simon.garnotel ?)

I am trying to run FreeFem using the docker images available in this repository. However, it seems to me all the images are exactly the same, v4.10. This is also indicated by the fact that running the following example
produces a run, although it should run smoothly on v4.11. Am I missing something, or are the docker versions indeed the same? Can someone else reproduce this behavior? Any help is appreciated!

I just check the version and it is effectively v4.10 on the docker tagged 4.11 (docker cache mistake).
I just launch a new build and the correct version should be available soon.

Thanks for the quick reply. When I try docker pull freefem/freefem:latest, I get the following error message:

failed to register layer: ApplyLayer exit status 1 stdout: stderr: archive/tar: invalid tar header

Do you have any suggestion what may cause this error?

Nevermind, restarting the PC seems to resolved the issue. Thanks for the quick update!
