     The minimum version of Nix required to evaluate Nixpkgs is now 2.0.
    </para>

      <para>
       For users of NixOS 18.03 and 19.03, NixOS defaults to Nix 2.0, but
       supports using Nix 1.11 by setting <literal>nix.package =
       pkgs.nix1;</literal>. If this option is set to a Nix 1.11 package, you
       will need to either unset the option or upgrade it to Nix 2.0.
      </para>
     </listitem>
     <listitem>
      <para>
       For users of NixOS 17.09, you will first need to upgrade Nix by setting
       <literal>nix.package = pkgs.nixStable2;</literal> and run
       <command>nixos-rebuild switch</command> as the <literal>root</literal>
       user.
      </para>
     </listitem>
     <listitem>
      <para>
       For users of a daemon-less Nix installation on Linux or macOS, you can
       upgrade Nix by running <command>curl https://nixos.org/nix/install |
       sh</command>, or prior to doing a channel update, running
       <command>nix-env -iA nix</command>.
      </para>
      <para>
       If you have already run a channel update and Nix is no longer able to
       evaluate Nixpkgs, the error message printed should provide adequate
       directions for upgrading Nix.
      </para>
     </listitem>
     <listitem>
      <para>
       For users of the Nix daemon on macOS, you can upgrade Nix by running
       <command>sudo -i sh -c 'nix-channel --update &amp;&amp; nix-env -iA
       nixpkgs.nix'; sudo launchctl stop org.nixos.nix-daemon; sudo launchctl
       start org.nixos.nix-daemon</command>.

     The <literal>light</literal> module no longer uses setuid binaries, but
     udev rules. As a consequence users of that module have to belong to the
     <literal>video</literal> group in order to use the executable (i.e.
     <literal>users.users.yourusername.extraGroups = ["video"];</literal>).

    <para>
     Buildbot now supports Python 3 and its packages have been moved to
     <literal>pythonPackages</literal>. The options
     <option>services.buildbot-master.package</option> and
     <option>services.buildbot-worker.package</option> can be used to select
     the Python 2 or 3 version of the package.

      were removed. They were never used for anything and can therefore safely be removed.

     Package <literal>wasm</literal> has been renamed <literal>proglodyte-wasm</literal>. The package
     <literal>wasm</literal> will be pointed to <literal>ocamlPackages.wasm</literal> in 19.09, so
     make sure to update your configuration if you want to keep <literal>proglodyte-wasm</literal>

     The versioned <varname>postgresql</varname> have been renamed to use

      Slurm introduces the new option
      <literal>services.slurm.stateSaveLocation</literal>,
      which is now set to <literal>/var/spool/slurm</literal> by default
      (instead of <literal>/var/spool</literal>).
      Make sure to move all files to the new directory or to set the option accordingly.
    </para>
    <para>
      The slurmctld now runs as user <literal>slurm</literal> instead of <literal>root</literal>.
      If you want to keep slurmctld running as <literal>root</literal>, set
      <literal>services.slurm.user = root</literal>.

     The deprecated <literal>truecrypt</literal> package has been removed
     and <literal>truecrypt</literal> attribute is now an alias for
     <literal>veracrypt</literal>. VeraCrypt is backward-compatible with
     TrueCrypt volumes. Note that <literal>cryptsetup</literal> also
     supports loading TrueCrypt volumes.
