Cockpit is the modern Linux admin interface. We release regularly. Here
are the release notes from version 151.

Support loading SSH keys from arbitrary paths
---------------------------------------------

The User menu's Authentication dialog now supports entering arbitrary paths to
SSH keys for adding to the SSH authentication agent. Previously this only
offered keys present in the standard `~/.ssh` home directory.

Support X-Forwarded-Proto HTTP header for Kubernetes
----------------------------------------------------

Newer Kubernetes versions support reading the X-Forwarded-Proto HTTP header,
which helps to determine whether or not a client used SSL to connect to an
intermediate proxy, load balancer, or similar. Cockpit's Kubernetes (Cluster)
dashboard now sets this header. Earlier versions have already done that when
hosted in OpenShift.

Fix Kubernetes connection hangs
-------------------------------

The previous Cockpit release 150 introduced a regression when connecting to
Kubernetes clusters. In some cases, like specifying a wrong server name or when
the Cluster did not send Authentication Provider information, the connection
attempt would hang indefinitely. This version corrects this bug.

Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/7707
