+## Nomad 1.1.3

+#### Docker Driver
+
+Starting in Nomad 1.1.2, task groups with `network.mode = "bridge"` generated
+a hosts file in Docker containers. This generated hosts file was bind-mounted
+from the task directory to `/etc/hosts` within the task. In Nomad 1.1.3 the
+source for the bind mount was moved to the allocation directory so that it is
+shared between all tasks in an allocation.
