+## Keeping docker images updated for current major
+
+Some users might want to when version to push docker tags `:v1`, `:v1.6`,
+`:v1.6.4` and `:latest` when `v1.6.4` (for example) is built. That can be
+accomplished by using multiple `tag_templates`:
+
+```yaml
+# .goreleaser.yml
+dockers:
+  -
+    binary: mybinary
+    image: myuser/myimage
+    tag_templates:
+    - "{{ .Tag }}"
+    - "v{{ .Major }}"
+    - "v{{ .Major }}.{{ .Minor }}"
+    - latest
+```
+
+This will build and publish the following images:
+
+* myuser/myimage:v1.6.4
+* myuser/myimage:v1
+* myuser/myimage:v1.6
+* myuser/myimage:latest
+
+Hope this feature serves you well!
