When upgrading from a previous release, please be aware of the following
incompatible changes:

<para>
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>.

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>).
