Cockpit releases every week. This week it was 0.85.
Cockpit now supports adding machines to the dashboard with different user logins for each one. This can be useful in cases where you're adding cloud instances to your dashboard, and they require logging in with a cloud-user and not the same user as your other servers.

See the video above.
Cockpit now allows you to fix connectivity issues for servers that are added to the dashboard. This includes adjusting authentication, checking on host keys and more.
Cockpit 0.84 failed to start on certain distros because SELinux wasn't available or couldn't be used to reset the certificate file context. This bug has been fixed.
A bug in Firefox 42 caused Cockpit to often load with a blank screen, due to layout calculation issues. The layout code has been changed to work around this issue.
Previously Cockpit called the Docker API without a timeout when restarting containers. This caused Docker to immediately kill the container without waiting for it to shutdown cleanly. Cockpit now passes a timeout.
Marius has made progress getting the Cockpit integration test suite to run on Debian. Without the integration tests running for a certain distro, there's no way to ensure Cockpit actually works there.
Cockpit 0.85 is available now:
