Dear FreeFem users, (@simon.garnotel ?)

I am trying to run FreeFem using the docker images available in [this](https://hub.docker.com/r/freefem/freefem) 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](https://github.com/FreeFem/FreeFem-sources/blob/master/examples/hpddm/blasius-stability-1d-SLEPc-complex.edp)  
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!
