+### Interacting with V1 registries
+
+Version 1.9 adds a flag (`--no-legacy-registry=false`) which prevents the docker daemon from `pull`, `push`, and `login` operations against v1 registries.  Though disabled by default, this signals the intent to deprecate the v1 protocol.

+## Legacy Registries

+Enabling `--no-legacy-registry` forces a docker daemon to only interact with registries which support the V2 protocol.  Specifically, the daemon will not attempt `push`, `pull` and `login` to v1 registries.  The exception to this is `search` which can still be performed on v1 registries.
