category: release

Cockpit is the modern Linux admin interface. We release regularly.

Here are the release notes from Cockpit 358 and cockpit-files 38:

Cockpit Client updated to GTK 4

The Cockpit Client has been updated to GTK 4 and WebKit 6, making it easier to enable support for downloads from Cockpit Files.

Networking: Add Wi-Fi support

If there are any Wi-Fi devices, the Networking page overview shows the number of available networks and the currently connected network.

The details page shows a table of available networks with mode/security, signal strength, and rate. The currently active connection (if any) is always at the top. It is followed by known networks, and then unknown networks sorted by descending signal strength. You can connect, disconnect, and forget networks.

Files: Add confirmation prompt for discarding changes

When editing files, Cockpit will now show a confirmation dialog when clicking away, hitting cancel, or pressing escape. This prevents accidentally discarding changes and losing data.
