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.

Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5338


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.

Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5743
