(Sorry, forgot to send that email last Friday when we actually released)
Cockpit is the modern Linux admin interface. We release regularly. Here
are the release notes from version 146.
Software Updates page shows more information
--------------------------------------------
The Available Updates and Restart recommended pages now show the packages
from the previous update run. This makes it easier to see which services to
check or to decide whether a restart is really necessary.
The new Update Log expander shows the previous steps of the running update.

Improve available Software Updates layout for small/mobile screens
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Available Updates page now folds all information into a single column on
very narrow/mobile screens, to stay readable.
In addition, updates with a long changelog or a large number of subpackages now
get truncated, with a `More information…` expander. This avoids lots of empty
space that makes it difficult browse the updates list.

Support OAuth Kubernetes logins with Google Compute Engine
----------------------------------------------------------
The Kubernetes pages (Cluster) can now log into Google Compute Engine. Note
that there is no way to get information about the user, so they are being
displayed as `Unknown`.

Fix reporting ABRT crashes that are already known to the server
---------------------------------------------------------------
Trying to report a crash (`Problems` category on the Logs page) that the FAF
server already knows previously caused an error message. This has been
corrected, and the report is now properly shown as `Reported`.
Thanks to Matej Marušák for this fix!

Scroll the virtual machine VNC console into view automatically
--------------------------------------------------------------
When opening the builtin VNC console of a virtual machine, the page now
automatically gets scrolled to maximize visibility of the console.
Thanks to Marek Libra for this improvement!
