<para>When enabled the <literal>iproute2</literal> will copy the files
expected by ip route (e.g., <filename>rt_tables</filename>) in

<title>Backward Incompatibilities</title>
<para>
When upgrading from a previous release, please be aware of the following
incompatible changes:
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
<literal>lib.strict</literal> is removed. Use
<literal>builtins.seq</literal> instead.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
The <literal>clementine</literal> package points now to the free
derivation. <literal>clementineFree</literal> is removed now and
<literal>clementineUnfree</literal> points to the package which is bundled
with the unfree <literal>libspotify</literal> package.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
The <literal>netcat</literal> package is now taken directly from OpenBSD's
<literal>libressl</literal>, instead of relying on Debian's fork. The new
version should be very close to the old version, but there are some minor
differences. Importantly, flags like -b, -q, -C, and -Z are no longer
accepted by the nc command.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
The <varname>services.docker-registry.extraConfig</varname> object doesn't contain
environment variables anymore. Instead it needs to provide an object structure
that can be mapped onto the YAML configuration defined in <link xlink:href="https://github.com/docker/distribution/blob/v2.6.2/docs/configuration.md">the <varname>docker/distribution</varname> docs</link>.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<literal>gnucash</literal> has changed from version 2.4 to 3.x.
If you've been using <literal>gnucash</literal> (version 2.4) instead of
<literal>gnucash26</literal> (version 2.6) you must open your Gnucash
data file(s) with <literal>gnucash26</literal> and then save them to
upgrade the file format. Then you may use your data file(s) with
Gnucash 3.x. See the upgrade <link xlink:href="https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Using_Different_Versions.2C_Up_And_Downgrade">documentation</link>.
Gnucash 2.4 is still available under the attribute <literal>gnucash24</literal>.

<literal>lib.traceSeqN</literal> instead.

</para>
<para>
The attribute <literal>lib.nixpkgsVersion</literal> has been deprecated in

<para>
The module for <option>security.dhparams</option> has two new options now:
</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>security.dhparams.stateless</option></term>
<listitem><para>
Puts the generated Diffie-Hellman parameters into the Nix store instead
of managing them in a stateful manner in
<filename class="directory">/var/lib/dhparams</filename>.
</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>security.dhparams.defaultBitSize</option></term>
<listitem><para>
The default bit size to use for the generated Diffie-Hellman parameters.
</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
<note><para>
The path to the actual generated parameter files should now be queried
using
<literal>config.security.dhparams.params.<replaceable>name</replaceable>.path</literal>
because it might be either in the Nix store or in a directory configured
by <option>security.dhparams.path</option>.
</para></note>
<note>
<title>For developers:</title>
<para>
Module implementers should not set a specific bit size in order to let
users configure it by themselves if they want to have a different bit
size than the default (2048).
</para>
<para>
An example usage of this would be:
<programlisting>
{ config, ... }:
{
security.dhparams.params.myservice = {};
environment.etc."myservice.conf".text = ''
dhparams = ${config.security.dhparams.params.myservice.path}
'';
}
</programlisting>
</para>
