Release 20.09 (“Nightingale”, 2020.09/??)
Highlights In addition to numerous new and upgraded packages, this release has the following highlights: Support is planned until the end of April 2021, handing over to 21.03. GNOME desktop environment was upgraded to 3.36, see its release notes. PHP now defaults to PHP 7.4, updated from 7.3. Two new options, authorizedKeysCommand and authorizedKeysCommandUser, have been added to the openssh module. If you have AuthorizedKeysCommand in your services.openssh.extraConfig you should make use of these new options instead.
New Services The following new services were added since the last release:
Backward Incompatibilities When upgrading from a previous release, please be aware of the following incompatible changes: Grafana is now built without support for phantomjs by default. Phantomjs support has been deprecated in Grafana and the phantomjs project is currently unmaintained. It can still be enabled by providing phantomJsSupport = true to the package instanciation: { services.grafana.package = pkgs.grafana.overrideAttrs (oldAttrs: rec { phantomJsSupport = false; }); } The supybot module now uses /var/lib/supybot as its default stateDir path if stateVersion is 20.09 or higher. It also enables number of systemd sandboxing options which may possibly interfere with some plugins. If this is the case you can disable the options through attributes in . The security.duosec.skey option, which stored a secret in the nix store, has been replaced by a new security.duosec.secretKeyFile option for better security. security.duosec.ikey has been renamed to security.duosec.integrationKey. The initrd SSH support now uses OpenSSH rather than Dropbear to allow the use of Ed25519 keys and other OpenSSH-specific functionality. Host keys must now be in the OpenSSH format, and at least one pre-generated key must be specified. If you used the options, you'll get an error explaining how to convert your host keys and migrate to the new option. Otherwise, if you don't have any host keys set, you'll need to generate some; see the option documentation for instructions. Since this release there's an easy way to customize your PHP install to get a much smaller base PHP with only wanted extensions enabled. See the following snippet installing a smaller PHP with the extensions imagick, opcache and pdo_mysql loaded: environment.systemPackages = [ (pkgs.php.buildEnv { extensions = pp: with pp; [ imagick opcache pdo_mysql ]; }) ]; The default php attribute hasn't lost any extensions - the opcache extension was added there. All upstream PHP extensions are available under ]]>. The updated php attribute is now easily customizable to your liking by using extensions instead of writing config files or changing configure flags. Therefore we have removed the following configure flags: PHP <literal>config</literal> flags that we don't read anymore: config.php.argon2 config.php.bcmath config.php.bz2 config.php.calendar config.php.curl config.php.exif config.php.ftp config.php.gd config.php.gettext config.php.gmp config.php.imap config.php.intl config.php.ldap config.php.libxml2 config.php.libzip config.php.mbstring config.php.mysqli config.php.mysqlnd config.php.openssl config.php.pcntl config.php.pdo_mysql config.php.pdo_odbc config.php.pdo_pgsql config.php.phpdbg config.php.postgresql config.php.readline config.php.soap config.php.sockets config.php.sodium config.php.sqlite config.php.tidy config.php.xmlrpc config.php.xsl config.php.zip config.php.zlib
