When you hit the ender dragon with bow and arrows, the HEALTH BAR DOES NOT DECREASE
Melee attacks against the dragon DOESN'T WORK. Only the weapon's durability goes down and they deal no damage to the dragon. Obvioiusly the HEALTH BAR DOES NOT DECREASE and THE HURT ANIMATION AND SOUND IS MISSING. Weirdly, the critical hit particle can be seen if you deal critical hit
Note 1: Tridents CAN damage the dragon
Note 2: If you destroy an ender crystal while it is healing the dragon, the dragon DOES receive damage and health bar DECREASES.

I had this issue on Windows 10 in the 1.10.0 release, but have yet to attempt reproducing. The ender dragon was summoned in a flat overworld with /summon. Target selectors did not seem to work on it as I tried both /kill @e and /tp @e 0 -50 0 and the ender dragon was not listed in the results. The trident did work however as said above.
We just beat ours the other day with a combo of bow shots and sword hits. The only odd thing we heard was some odd sound looping issues on occasion.
Thank you for your report!

It only works with a trident for some reason. I noticed that too.
