| 9 | +--- |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +Cockpit is the [modern Linux admin interface](https://cockpit-project.org/). |
| 12 | +We release regularly. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +Here are the release notes from Cockpit 343 and cockpit-machines 336: |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +## Machines: Graphical VNC and serial consoles have been improved |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +It is now easier to switch between these two console types, and also easier to launch a remote viewer. Cockpit can now add VNC and serial consoles to machines that are missing them, and can change the port and password of the VNC servers of individual machines. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +## Machines: Control VNC console resizing and scaling |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +You can now explicitly control the graphical console's resizing and scaling behaviour in expanded mode: |
| 25 | + * "No scaling or resizing" gets you an 1-to-1 pixel perfect view of a remote desktop, but possibly with scrollbars, depending on the browser window size. |
| 26 | + * "Local scaling" scales the console in the browser and thus is compatible with small browser windows and large remote resolutions, but is harder to read. |
| 27 | + * "Remote resizing" asks the remote machine to set a native resolution that matches Cockpit's console view. This keeps crisp graphics, but may not be compatible with all operating systems. |
| 28 | + |
