 ### Additional Metadata Bar To Dashboards

+## Change to Docker image builds
+
+Starting in 4.1.0, the release's docker image does not ship with drivers needed to operate Superset. Users may need to install a driver for their metadata database (MySQL or Postgres) as well as the driver for their data warehouse. This is a result of changes to the `lean` docker image that official releases come from; see [Docker Build Presets](/docs/installation/docker-builds/#build-presets) for more details.
