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.

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!
