Cockpit 134

Cockpit is the modern Linux admin interface. We release regularly. Here are the release notes from version 134.

Login page is now translatable
------------------------------

The majority of Cockpit has long been translatable. Since the login page is a bit of a special case, it required some special attention to make that also play well with the language display settings. Take a look at the video below for a demo. 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!

Show message of the day on the System page
------------------------------------------

Cockpit now supports one more feature it was previously missing compared to the command line login: the |System| page now shows the current message of the day (|/etc/motd|). When dismissed by clicking on the |X| close button, the message is hidden until it changes.

Expose fewer system service actions
-----------------------------------

Cockpit previously exposed systemd unit actions such as |Reload or Try Restart| which are primarily intended for scripts. The dropdown list now only shows actions which are useful for interactive human usage: |Start|, |Stop|, |Restart| and |Reload|.
