Cockpit is the modern Linux admin interface. We release regularly. Here are the release notes from version 144 and 145. Terminal size ------------- The Terminal now uses the full window size and dynamically resizes with it. Previously its size was fixed to 80x24 characters. Screenshot: http://cockpit-project.org/blog/images/terminal-full-window.png Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/4633 Machines page reactiveness -------------------------- The Machines page now listens to libvirt events instead of reading the entire state of all virtual machines every ten seconds. This makes the page much more reactive to state changes and reduces the number of calls to `virsh`. Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/7141 Delete VM functionality ----------------------- A "Delete" button/dialog was added to the Machines page. If the VM is still running, it will be force-stopped first. The dialog also offers you the choice to remove the VM's disk images as well.

This was found to be not supportable in the long run and thus was discontinued. Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/7128 ABRT integration ---------------- On Fedora 26 the Logs Page now shows Problem reports from the ABRT crash reporting tool. They appear as new message class "Problem" in the journal view, and their details can be visited when clicking on them. Thanks to Matej Marusak for this feature!

This particularly affects updates to the kernel, but also restarting services. For now, Cockpit will always recommend to restart the machine after applying updates: Screenshot: http://cockpit-project.org/blog/images/updates-restart.png Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/7101 Cancelling Software Updates --------------------------- The Software Updates page now has a Cancel button that is enabled while it is still safe to abort a running update, i.e. while the updates are still being downloaded. Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/7026 Get it ------ You can get Cockpit here: http://cockpit-project.org/running.html Cockpit 145 is available in Fedora 26: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/cockpit-145-1.fc26 Or download the tarball here: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/releases/tag/145 Take care, Martin Pitt
