Backward Incompatibilities
When upgrading from a previous release, please be aware of the following
incompatible changes:
systemd-journal2gelf no longer parses json and expects the receiving system to handle it. How to achieve this with Graylog is described in this GitHub issue.
If the services.dbus module is enabled, then
the user D-Bus session is now always socket activated. The
associated options services.dbus.socketActivated
and services.xserver.startDbusSession have
therefore been removed and you will receive a warning if
they are present in your configuration. This change makes the
user D-Bus session available also for non-graphical logins.
The option has been renamed to
. The path of font directory
has also been changed to /run/current-system/sw/share/X11/fonts,
for consistency with other X11 resources.
A number of options have been renamed in the kicad interface. oceSupport
has been renamed to withOCE, withOCCT has been renamed
to withOCC, ngspiceSupport has been renamed to
withNgspice, and scriptingSupport has been renamed to
withScripting. Additionally, kicad/base.nix no longer
provides default argument values since these are provided by
kicad/default.nix.
The socket for the pdns-recursor module was moved from /var/lib/pdns-recursor
to /run/pdns-recursor to match upstream.
PowerDNS has been updated from 4.2.x to 4.3.x. Please
be sure to review the Upgrade Notes
provided by upstream before upgrading. Worth specifically noting is that the service now runs
entirely as a dedicated pdns user, instead of starting as root
and dropping privileges, as well as the default socket-dir location changing from
/var/lib/powerdns to /run/pdns.
Other Notable Changes
The default-version of nextcloud is nextcloud20.
Please note that it's not possible to upgrade nextcloud
across multiple major versions! This means that it's e.g. not possible to upgrade
from nextcloud18 to nextcloud20 in a single deploy.
The package can be manually upgraded by setting
to nextcloud20.
