cypress over docker documentation shows a very old image

Hi,

First i would like to thank you for the great framework. i'm new but enjoy it very much.
after using a local installation of cypress through npm i decided to try out the docker option and found that the documentation talks about image tag 3.2.0. ( https://www.cypress.io/blog/2019/05/02/run-cypress-with-a-single-docker-command)
At first i just used this and my test failed (cy.readFile failed to find an existing file) and after checking i saw many newer versions of docker images at docker hub. I tried 6.0.0 and my test passed.

My question: is there a reason why the docs talk about this old version ?is that only because no one updated the docs or is it really you preferred/official "included" version.

Thanks for your time
Sivan

Thank you,

So the blog posts are like snapshots in time, showing how to perform something. We do not go back and update every blog post whenever a new version comes out. The principles of that blog post still stand though, and recently I have updated the example repository linked from the blog post https://github.com/bahmutov/demo-docker-cypress-included so that's up to date.

Oh, i got to the docker blog post through a link in the docs ,somehow i missed the fact it was a blog and not part of the docs.
Thanks for the quick answer :)
