In addition to - numerous new and upgraded packages and modules, this release has the - following highlights: - </para> - <itemizedlist> - <listitem> - <para> - Installation on UEFI systems is now supported. See - <xref linkend="sec-installation" /> for details. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - Systemd has been updated to version 212, which has - <link xlink:href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/plain/NEWS?id=v212">numerous - improvements</link>. NixOS now automatically starts systemd user - instances when you log in. You can define global user units - through the <literal>systemd.unit.*</literal> options. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - NixOS is now based on Glibc 2.19 and GCC 4.8. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - The default Linux kernel has been updated to 3.12. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - KDE has been updated to 4.12. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - GNOME 3.10 experimental support has been added. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - Nix has been updated to 1.7 - (<link xlink:href="https://nixos.org/nix/manual/#ssec-relnotes-1.7">details</link>). - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - NixOS now supports fully declarative management of users and - groups. If you set <literal>users.mutableUsers</literal> to - <literal>false</literal>, then the contents of - <literal>/etc/passwd</literal> and <literal>/etc/group</literal> - will be - <link xlink:href="https://www.usenix.org/legacy/event/lisa02/tech/full_papers/traugott/traugott_html/">congruent</link> - to your NixOS configuration. For instance, if you remove a user - from <literal>users.extraUsers</literal> and run - <literal>nixos-rebuild</literal>, the user account will cease to - exist. Also, imperative commands for managing users and groups, - such as <literal>useradd</literal>, are no longer available. If - <literal>users.mutableUsers</literal> is <literal>true</literal> - (the default), then behaviour is unchanged from NixOS 13.10. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - NixOS now has basic container support, meaning you can easily - run a NixOS instance as a container in a NixOS host system. - These containers are suitable for testing and experimentation - but not production use, since they’re not fully isolated from - the host. See <xref linkend="ch-containers" /> for details. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - Systemd units provided by packages can now be overridden from - the NixOS configuration. For instance, if a package - <literal>foo</literal> provides systemd units, you can say: - </para> - <programlisting language="bash"> -{ - systemd.packages = [ pkgs.foo ]; -} -</programlisting> - <para> - to enable those units. You can then set or override unit options - in the usual way, e.g. - </para> - <programlisting language="bash"> -{ - systemd.services.foo.wantedBy = [ "multi-user.target" ]; - systemd.services.foo.serviceConfig.MemoryLimit = "512M"; -} -</programlisting> - <para> - When upgrading from a previous release, please be aware of the - following incompatible changes: - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - Nixpkgs no longer exposes unfree packages by default. If your - NixOS configuration requires unfree packages from Nixpkgs, you - need to enable support for them explicitly by setting: - </para> - <programlisting language="bash"> -{ - nixpkgs.config.allowUnfree = true; -} -</programlisting> - <para> - Otherwise, you get an error message such as: - </para> - <programlisting> - error: package ‘nvidia-x11-331.49-3.12.17’ in ‘…/nvidia-x11/default.nix:56’ - has an unfree license, refusing to evaluate -</programlisting> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - The Adobe Flash player is no longer enabled by default in the - Firefox and Chromium wrappers. To enable it, you must set: - </para> - <programlisting language="bash"> -{ - nixpkgs.config.allowUnfree = true; - nixpkgs.config.firefox.enableAdobeFlash = true; # for Firefox - nixpkgs.config.chromium.enableAdobeFlash = true; # for Chromium -} -</programlisting> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - The firewall is now enabled by default. If you don’t want this, - you need to disable it explicitly: - </para> - <programlisting language="bash"> -{ - networking.firewall.enable = false; -} -</programlisting> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - The option <literal>boot.loader.grub.memtest86</literal> has - been renamed to - <literal>boot.loader.grub.memtest86.enable</literal>. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - The <literal>mysql55</literal> service has been merged into the - <literal>mysql</literal> service, which no longer sets a default - for the option <literal>services.mysql.package</literal>. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - Package variants are now differentiated by suffixing the name, - rather than the version. For instance, - <literal>sqlite-3.8.4.3-interactive</literal> is now called - <literal>sqlite-interactive-3.8.4.3</literal>. This ensures that - <literal>nix-env -i sqlite</literal> is unambiguous, and that - <literal>nix-env -u</literal> won’t <quote>upgrade</quote> - <literal>sqlite</literal> to - <literal>sqlite-interactive</literal> or vice versa. Notably, - this change affects the Firefox wrapper (which provides - plugins), as it is now called - <literal>firefox-wrapper</literal>. So when using - <literal>nix-env</literal>, you should do - <literal>nix-env -e firefox; nix-env -i firefox-wrapper</literal> - if you want to keep using the wrapper. This change does not - affect declarative package management, since attribute names - like <literal>pkgs.firefoxWrapper</literal> were already - unambiguous. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - The symlink <literal>/etc/ca-bundle.crt</literal> is gone. - Programs should instead use the environment variable - <literal>OPENSSL_X509_CERT_FILE</literal> (which points to - <literal>/etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt</literal>). - </para> - </listitem> - </itemizedlist> -</section> |
