A summary of the Cockpit weekly release. There’s a new release every
week. Here are the highlights from this weeks 0.103 release.
Kubernetes Connection Configuration
-----------------------------------
When a Kubernetes client wants to access the API of the cluster, it
looks for a "kubeconfig" file to tell it how to find the cluster and how
to authenticate when accessing the API.
The usual location for this file is in the current user's home directory
at the ```~/.kube/config``` file path. If that doesn't exist, then
usually the cluster isn't available. This applies to both clients like
the ```kubectl``` command as well as Cockpit's cluster dashboard.
Cockpit can now prompt for this information, and build this file for
you. If it doesn't exist, then there's a helpful "Troubleshoot" button
to help get this configuration in place.

Remove jQuery Usage from cockpit.js API
---------------------------------------
As part of stabilizing the internals of Cockpit, we removed jQuery usage
from the cockpit.js file. [The javascript API
itself](http://cockpit-project.org/guide/latest/api-base1.html) hasn't
changed, but this change helps to help keep a stable API in the future.
