Cockpit is the modern Linux admin interface. We release regularly. Here are the 
release notes from version 133.


Remotely managed machines are now configured in /etc/cockpit/machines.d
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Cockpit plugins, other packages, admins, VM management software, or config 
management systems like Ansible/puppet/cloud-init might want to pre-configure 
machines for cockpit. Previously this information was stored in 
|/var/lib/cockpit/machines.json|, but now that information is stored in 
individual json files in |/etc/cockpit/machines.d|. Existing |machines.json| 
files are migrated automatically to the new format. Check out the documentation 
below for more information on the format and use.

Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5963


Packages can register additional bridges
----------------------------------------

On the server side the |cockpit-bridge| connects to various system APIs. There 
are additional bridges for specific tasks that the main |cockpit-bridge| cannot 
handle, such as tasks that should be carried out with privilege escalation. 
These additional bridges can be registered in the |bridges| section of a 
package’s |manifest.json |file. Check out the documentation below for more 
information on the format and use.

Split translations into individual packages
-------------------------------------------

Behind the scenes there’s been a lot of work on making translations work more 
smoothly and future-proof. As part of this the translations have been split 
into the individual packages, which also means they can be updated per package 
in the future. Check out the Zanata link below, it’s very easy to contribute 
translations to Cockpit. At this time our top 3 translations (>90%) are Polish 
(pl), Ukranian (uk) and Chinese (zh-CN). Every bit of help here is greatly 
appreciated and a big thank you to our contributors!
