Cockpit is the modern Linux admin interface. We release regularly. Here are the release
notes from version 128 and 129
Manage remotes and rebasing in OSTree
-------------------------------------
When working with OSTrees on operating systems like Atomic Host [1] there will often be
multiple branches to choose from. For example there may be a beta version of the operating
system. Thanks to Peter’s work, Cockpit can now switch between branches and view and
activate OSTrees from those branches. Also, Cockpit supports managing multiple remotes and
viewing their branches. Remotes are a way of describing where OSTree should pull updates
from. Take a look at the video below for a demo.

The subpackage cockpit-dashboard has been split out
---------------------------------------------------
The new |cockpit-dashboard| subpackage contains the dashboard itself and the |cockpit-ssh|
process. Eventually this paves the way for more flexibility regarding authentication
processes, but for now |cockpit-ws| unconditionally depends on |cockpit-dashboard|, and
also requires the identical versions. Nothing changes for those who install the |cockpit|
package. But this allows more flexibility when using Cockpit for specific use cases.

Issues upgrading Cockpit on Debian and Fedora have been fixed
-------------------------------------------------------------
Our packaging changes in recent versions broke upgrading Cockpit on Debian and Fedora.
This is fixed now and updates should work properly once again.
On Atomic, sosreport works again
--------------------------------
A bug that prevented the diagnostic tool sosreport from working on Atomic systems was
fixed. Generating and accessing these diagnostic reports can be very helpful when
diagnosing or reporting an issue on the system.
Optionally disable the dependency on libssh
-------------------------------------------
When configuring Cockpit, the option |disable-ssh| disables building |cockpit-ssh| and
removes the dependency on |libssh|. This is useful when building on an operating system
where |libssh| is not available.
