<para>
|
|
In addition to numerous new and upgraded packages, this release
|
|
has the following highlights:
|
|
</para>
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The GNOME version is now 3.24. KDE Plasma was upgraded to
|
|
5.10, KDE Applications to 17.08.1 and KDE Frameworks to 5.37.
|
|
</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The user handling now keeps track of deallocated UIDs/GIDs.
|
|
When a user or group is revived, this allows it to be
|
|
allocated the UID/GID it had before. A consequence is that
|
|
UIDs and GIDs are no longer reused.
|
|
</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The module option
|
|
<literal>services.xserver.xrandrHeads</literal> now causes the
|
|
first head specified in this list to be set as the primary
|
|
head. Apart from that, it's now possible to also set
|
|
additional options by using an attribute set, for example:
|
|
</para>
|
|
<programlisting language="bash">
|
|
{ services.xserver.xrandrHeads = [
|
|
"HDMI-0"
|
|
{
|
|
output = "DVI-0";
|
|
primary = true;
|
|
monitorConfig = ''
|
|
Option "Rotate" "right"
|
|
'';
|
|
}
|
|
];
|
|
}
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
<para>
|
|
This will set the <literal>DVI-0</literal> output to be the
|
|
primary head, even though <literal>HDMI-0</literal> is the
|
|
first head in the list.
|
|
</para>

|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The handling of SSL in the <literal>services.nginx</literal>
|
|
module has been cleaned up, renaming the misnamed
|
|
<literal>enableSSL</literal> to <literal>onlySSL</literal>
|
|
which reflects its original intention. This is not to be used
|
|
with the already existing <literal>forceSSL</literal> which
|
|
creates a second non-SSL virtual host redirecting to the SSL
|
|
virtual host. This by chance had worked earlier due to
|
|
specific implementation details. In case you had specified
|
|
both please remove the <literal>enableSSL</literal> option to
|
|
keep the previous behaviour.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Another <literal>addSSL</literal> option has been introduced
|
|
to configure both a non-SSL virtual host and an SSL virtual
|
|
host with the same configuration.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Options to configure <literal>resolver</literal> options and
|
|
<literal>upstream</literal> blocks have been introduced. See
|
|
their information for further details.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The <literal>port</literal> option has been replaced by a more
|
|
generic <literal>listen</literal> option which makes it
|
|
possible to specify multiple addresses, ports and SSL configs
|
|
dependant on the new SSL handling mentioned above.

Radicale's default package has changed from 1.x to 2.x.
|
|
Instructions to migrate can be found
|

<link xlink:href="http://radicale.org/1to2/"> here
|
|
</link>. It is also possible to use the newer version by

setting the <literal>package</literal> to
|
|
<literal>radicale2</literal>, which is done automatically
|
|
when <literal>stateVersion</literal> is 17.09 or higher.
|

The <literal>extraArgs</literal> option has been added to

allow passing the data migration arguments specified in

|
the instructions; see the <literal>radicale.nix</literal>
|

NixOS test for an example migration.

This is done to prevent packages' build systems guessing,

which is harder to predict, especially when cross-compiling.

However, some packages have broken due to this—their build

systems either not supporting, or claiming to support without

adequate testing, taking such environment variables as

parameters.

Updated to FreeType 2.7.1, including a new TrueType engine.

The new engine replaces the Infinality engine which was the

default in NixOS. The default font rendering settings are now

provided by fontconfig-penultimate, replacing

fontconfig-ultimate; the new defaults are less invasive and

provide rendering that is more consistent with other systems

system-wide configuration has been removed from the Fontconfig
