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

<listitem>
<para>
Dollar signs in options under <option>services.postfix</option> are
passed verbatim to Postfix, which will interpret them as the beginning of
a parameter expression. This was already true for string-valued options
in the previous release, but not for list-valued options. If you need to
pass literal dollar signs through Postfix, double them.
</para>

<listitem>
<para>
The <literal>postage</literal> package (for web-based PostgreSQL
administration) has been renamed to <literal>pgmanage</literal>. The
corresponding module has also been renamed. To migrate please rename all
<option>services.postage</option> options to
<option>services.pgmanage</option>.

<emphasis role="strong">
The OpenSSH service no longer enables support for DSA keys by default,
which could cause a system lock out. Update your keys or, unfavorably,
re-enable DSA support manually.
</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
DSA support was
<link xlink:href="https://www.openssh.com/legacy.html">deprecated in OpenSSH 7.0</link>,
due to it being too weak. To re-enable support, add
<literal>PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes +ssh-dss</literal> to the end of your
<option>services.openssh.extraConfig</option>.
</para>
<para>
After updating the keys to be stronger, anyone still on a pre-17.03
version is safe to jump to 17.03, as vetted
