A summary of the Cockpit weekly release. There’s a new release every
week. Here are the highlights from this weeks 0.100 release. Even though
0.100 may seem to be a magical number … it’s really just the number
after 0.99
SELinux Troubleshooting
-----------------------
Cockpit can now help you troubleshoot SELinux problems, and show you
fixes for repairing the various issues. This is pretty amazing for
system admins who really would rather be secure, but keep bumping into
stuff that SELinux is blocking. There’s more to come on both SELinux and
troubleshooting in the future. Take a look at what landed in this release:

Image Registry Interface
------------------------
There’s a new Image Registry user interface. It works with Atomic
Platform or Openshift clusters. By default this shows up in the Cockpit
“Cluster” admin dashboard.
But more importantly you can deploy this as a standalone image registry,
complete with storage, authentication and an interface. See
http://www.projectatomic.io/registry for more info.

Storage sliders and more
------------------------
Marius has been working on cleaning up the storage UI. One of the
changes you’ll notice is that you can now use a slider to choose a size
for new volumes or file systems, and specify the size units you want to use:

Peter worked on adding Cluster storage configuration to the Kubernetes
admin dashboard. Basic support will be in the next release.
