Cockpit 0.89

[Stef Walter]

This is a summary of the Cockpit weekly release. This week it was 0.89

Routine Debian testing
----------------------

The Cockpit Project has started routinely testing each Cockpit pull
request on Debian Unstable using real Debian packaging. Marius did some
great work here. This means we're are close to doing real continuous
delivery to Debian. Next step, a repo, and a maintainer.

Case insensitive cockpit.conf
-----------------------------

The cockpit.conf file is now case insensitive for options and headings.
This should make editing it less error prone.

Reorder graphs on server summary page
-------------------------------------

Thijs reordered the resource graphs on the server summary page in the
same order as GNOME, Windows, and elsewhere.

Syncing of users when adding a server
-------------------------------------

Cockpit no longer requires or suggests that the admin accounts be synced
between servers when adding another server to the dashboard. This
feature is still available when editing the server options on the dashboard.

Weak dependencies on Fedora 24+
-------------------------------

On Fedora 24 and later, one can have 'Suggests' and 'Recommends'
dependencies between packages. Cockpit now takes advantage of these for
its 'cockpit' meta package making certain parts removable without
removing 'cockpit'.

Vagrantfile working again
-------------------------

The Vagrant file now pulls from the correct lastest binary builds of
Cockpit. To use it:

$ git clone https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit
$ cd cockpit
$ sudo vagrant up
