<title>Highlights</title>
|

<para>
|
||||
In addition to numerous new and upgraded packages, this release
|
||||
has the following highlights:
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
<itemizedlist>
|
||||
<listitem>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
The GNOME version is now 3.24. KDE Plasma was upgraded to
|
||||
5.10, KDE Applications to 17.08.1 and KDE Frameworks to 5.37.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
</listitem>
|
||||
<listitem>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
The user handling now keeps track of deallocated UIDs/GIDs.
|
||||
When a user or group is revived, this allows it to be
|
||||
allocated the UID/GID it had before. A consequence is that
|
||||
UIDs and GIDs are no longer reused.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
</listitem>
|
||||
<listitem>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
The module option
|
||||
<literal>services.xserver.xrandrHeads</literal> now causes the
|
||||
first head specified in this list to be set as the primary
|
||||
head. Apart from that, it's now possible to also set
|
||||
additional options by using an attribute set, for example:
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
<programlisting language="bash">
|
||||
{ services.xserver.xrandrHeads = [
|
||||
"HDMI-0"
|
||||
{
|
||||
output = "DVI-0";
|
||||
primary = true;
|
||||
monitorConfig = ''
|
||||
Option "Rotate" "right"
|
||||
'';
|
||||
}
|
||||
];
|
||||
}
|
||||
</programlisting>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
This will set the <literal>DVI-0</literal> output to be the
|
||||
primary head, even though <literal>HDMI-0</literal> is the
|
||||
first head in the list.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
</listitem>
|
||||
<listitem>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
The handling of SSL in the <literal>services.nginx</literal>
|
||||
module has been cleaned up, renaming the misnamed
|
||||
<literal>enableSSL</literal> to <literal>onlySSL</literal>
|
||||
which reflects its original intention. This is not to be used
|
||||
with the already existing <literal>forceSSL</literal> which
|
||||
creates a second non-SSL virtual host redirecting to the SSL
|
||||
virtual host. This by chance had worked earlier due to
|
||||
specific implementation details. In case you had specified
|
||||
both please remove the <literal>enableSSL</literal> option to
|
||||
keep the previous behaviour.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
Another <literal>addSSL</literal> option has been introduced
|
||||
to configure both a non-SSL virtual host and an SSL virtual
|
||||
host with the same configuration.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
Options to configure <literal>resolver</literal> options and
|
||||
<literal>upstream</literal> blocks have been introduced. See
|
||||
their information for further details.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
The <literal>port</literal> option has been replaced by a more
|
||||
generic <literal>listen</literal> option which makes it
|
||||
possible to specify multiple addresses, ports and SSL configs
|
||||
dependant on the new SSL handling mentioned above.
