     The minimum version of Nix required to evaluate Nixpkgs is now 2.0.
    </para>
    <itemizedlist>
     <listitem>
      <para>
       For users of NixOS 18.03 and 19.03, NixOS defaults to Nix 2.0, but
       supports using Nix 1.11 by setting <literal>nix.package =
       pkgs.nix1;</literal>. If this option is set to a Nix 1.11 package, you
       will need to either unset the option or upgrade it to Nix 2.0.
      </para>
     </listitem>
     <listitem>
      <para>
       For users of NixOS 17.09, you will first need to upgrade Nix by setting
       <literal>nix.package = pkgs.nixStable2;</literal> and run
       <command>nixos-rebuild switch</command> as the <literal>root</literal>
       user.
      </para>
     </listitem>
     <listitem>
      <para>
       For users of a daemon-less Nix installation on Linux or macOS, you can
       upgrade Nix by running <command>curl https://nixos.org/nix/install |
       sh</command>, or prior to doing a channel update, running
       <command>nix-env -iA nix</command>.
      </para>
      <para>
       If you have already run a channel update and Nix is no longer able to
       evaluate Nixpkgs, the error message printed should provide adequate
       directions for upgrading Nix.
      </para>
     </listitem>
     <listitem>
      <para>
       For users of the Nix daemon on macOS, you can upgrade Nix by running
       <command>sudo -i sh -c 'nix-channel --update &amp;&amp; nix-env -iA
       nixpkgs.nix'; sudo launchctl stop org.nixos.nix-daemon; sudo launchctl
       start org.nixos.nix-daemon</command>.

     Package <varname>rabbitmq_server</varname> is renamed to
     <varname>rabbitmq-server</varname>.
    </para>
   </listitem>
   <listitem>
    <para>
     The <literal>light</literal> module no longer uses setuid binaries, but
     udev rules. As a consequence users of that module have to belong to the
     <literal>video</literal> group in order to use the executable (i.e.
     <literal>users.users.yourusername.extraGroups = ["video"];</literal>).
    </para>
   </listitem>
   <listitem>
    <para>
     Buildbot now supports Python 3 and its packages have been moved to
     <literal>pythonPackages</literal>. The options
     <option>services.buildbot-master.package</option> and
     <option>services.buildbot-worker.package</option> can be used to select
     the Python 2 or 3 version of the package.

    <para>
      Options
      <literal>services.znc.confOptions.networks.<replaceable>name</replaceable>.userName</literal> and
      <literal>services.znc.confOptions.networks.<replaceable>name</replaceable>.modulePackages</literal>
      were removed. They were never used for anything and can therefore safely be removed.
    </para>
   </listitem>
   <listitem>
    <para>
     Package <literal>wasm</literal> has been renamed <literal>proglodyte-wasm</literal>. The package
     <literal>wasm</literal> will be pointed to <literal>ocamlPackages.wasm</literal> in 19.09, so
     make sure to update your configuration if you want to keep <literal>proglodyte-wasm</literal>
    </para>

     OpenSMTPD has been upgraded to version 6.4.0p1. This release makes
     backwards-incompatible changes to the configuration file format. See
     <command>man smtpd.conf</command> for more information on the new file
     format.
