When upgrading from a previous release, please be aware of the
following incompatible changes:
Steam now doesn't need root rights to work. Instead of using
*-steam-chrootenv, you should now just run steam.
steamChrootEnv package was renamed to steam,
and old steam package -- to steamOriginal.
CMPlayer has been renamed to bomi upstream. Package cmplayer
was accordingly renamed to bomi
The default NIX_PATH for NixOS now includes
/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels, so it's
easy to add custom channels.
Moreover, whenever a nixos-rebuild <action>
--upgrade is issued, every channel that includes a file
called .update-on-nixos-rebuild will be upgraded
alongside of the nixos channel.
The CUPS printing service has been updated to version 2.0.2.
Furthermore its systemd service has been renamed to cups.service.
Local printers are no longer shared or advertised by default. This behavior
can be changed by enabling services.printing.defaultShared
or services.printing.browsing respectively.
HPLIP (printer, scanner, and fax drivers for HP devices) has
been updated to version 3.15.4. This release
adds support for the arm6l-linux and
arm7l-linux platforms.
