This is a summary of the Cockpit weekly release. This week it was 0.80


SSH private keys
----------------

You can now use Cockpit to load SSH private keys into the ssh-agent
that's running in the Cockpit login session. These keys are used to
authenticate against other systems when they are added to the dashboard.
Cockpit also supports inspecting and changing the passwords for SSH
private keys.

Always start an SSH agent
-------------------------

Cockpit now always starts an SSH agent in the Cockpit login session.
Previously this would happen if the correct PAM modules were loaded.
