Upstream only - provided <literal>(lib)tidy5</literal> during development, and - now they went back to <literal>(lib)tidy</literal> to work as a - drop-in replacement of the original package that has been - unmaintained for years. You can (still) use the - <literal>html-tidy</literal> package, which got updated to a - stable release from this new upstream. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - <literal>extraDeviceOptions</literal> argument is removed from - <literal>bumblebee</literal> package. Instead there are now two - separate arguments: <literal>extraNvidiaDeviceOptions</literal> - and <literal>extraNouveauDeviceOptions</literal> for setting - extra X11 options for nvidia and nouveau drivers, respectively. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - The <literal>Ctrl+Alt+Backspace</literal> key combination no - longer kills the X server by default. There's a new option - <literal>services.xserver.enableCtrlAltBackspace</literal> - allowing to enable the combination again. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - <literal>emacsPackagesNg</literal> now contains all packages - from the ELPA, MELPA, and MELPA Stable repositories. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - Data directory for Postfix MTA server is moved from - <literal>/var/postfix</literal> to - <literal>/var/lib/postfix</literal>. Old configurations are - migrated automatically. <literal>service.postfix</literal> - module has also received many improvements, such as correct - directories' access rights, new <literal>aliasFiles</literal> - and <literal>mapFiles</literal> options and more. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - Filesystem options should now be configured as a list of - strings, not a comma-separated string. The old style will - continue to work, but print a warning, until the 16.09 release. - An example of the new style: - </para> - <programlisting language="bash"> -{ - fileSystems."/example" = { - device = "/dev/sdc"; - fsType = "btrfs"; - options = [ "noatime" "compress=lzo" "space_cache" "autodefrag" ]; - }; -} -</programlisting> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - CUPS, installed by <literal>services.printing</literal> module, - now has its data directory in <literal>/var/lib/cups</literal>. - Old configurations from <literal>/etc/cups</literal> are moved - there automatically, but there might be problems. Also - configuration options - <literal>services.printing.cupsdConf</literal> and - <literal>services.printing.cupsdFilesConf</literal> were removed - because they had been allowing one to override configuration - variables required for CUPS to work at all on NixOS. For most - use cases, <literal>services.printing.extraConf</literal> and - new option <literal>services.printing.extraFilesConf</literal> - should be enough; if you encounter a situation when they are - not, please file a bug. - </para> - <para> - There are also Gutenprint improvements; in particular, a new - option <literal>services.printing.gutenprint</literal> is added - to enable automatic updating of Gutenprint PPMs; it's greatly - recommended to enable it instead of adding - <literal>gutenprint</literal> to the <literal>drivers</literal> - list. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - <literal>services.xserver.vaapiDrivers</literal> has been - removed. Use - <literal>hardware.opengl.extraPackages{,32}</literal> instead. - You can also specify VDPAU drivers there. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - <literal>programs.ibus</literal> moved to - <literal>i18n.inputMethod.ibus</literal>. The option - <literal>programs.ibus.plugins</literal> changed to - <literal>i18n.inputMethod.ibus.engines</literal> and the option - to enable ibus changed from - <literal>programs.ibus.enable</literal> to - <literal>i18n.inputMethod.enabled</literal>. - <literal>i18n.inputMethod.enabled</literal> should be set to the - used input method name, <literal>"ibus"</literal> for - ibus. An example of the new style: - </para> - <programlisting language="bash"> -{ - i18n.inputMethod.enabled = "ibus"; - i18n.inputMethod.ibus.engines = with pkgs.ibus-engines; [ anthy mozc ]; -} -</programlisting> - <para> - That is equivalent to the old version: - </para> - <programlisting language="bash"> -{ - programs.ibus.enable = true; - programs.ibus.plugins = with pkgs; [ ibus-anthy mozc ]; -} -</programlisting> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - <literal>services.udev.extraRules</literal> option now writes - rules to <literal>99-local.rules</literal> instead of - <literal>10-local.rules</literal>. This makes all the user rules - apply after others, so their results wouldn't be overriden by - anything else. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - Large parts of the <literal>services.gitlab</literal> module has - been been rewritten. There are new configuration options - available. The <literal>stateDir</literal> option was renamned - to <literal>statePath</literal> and the - <literal>satellitesDir</literal> option was removed. Please - review the currently available options. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - The option - <literal>services.nsd.zones.<name>.data</literal> no - longer interpret the dollar sign ($) as a shell variable, as - such it should not be escaped anymore.

GnuPG 2.1.x changed the way the gpg-agent - works, and that new approach no longer requires (or even - supports) the "start everything as a child of the - agent" scheme we've implemented in NixOS for older - versions. To configure the gpg-agent for your X session, add the - following code to <literal>~/.bashrc</literal> or some file - that’s sourced when your shell is started: - </para> - <programlisting> -GPG_TTY=$(tty) -export GPG_TTY -</programlisting> - <para> - If you want to use gpg-agent for SSH, too, add the following to - your session initialization (e.g. - <literal>displayManager.sessionCommands</literal>) - </para> - <programlisting> - gpg-connect-agent /bye - unset SSH_AGENT_PID - export SSH_AUTH_SOCK="''${HOME}/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent.ssh" -</programlisting> - <para> - and make sure that - </para> - <programlisting> - enable-ssh-support -</programlisting> - <para> - is included in your <literal>~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf</literal>. - You will need to use <literal>ssh-add</literal> to re-add your - ssh keys.
