<listitem><para>The default version of Apache httpd is now 2.4. If
|
||
you use the <option>extraConfig</option> option to pass literal
|
||
Apache configuration text, you may need to update it — see <link
|
||
xlink:href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html">Apache’s
|
||
documentation</link> for details. If you wish to continue to use

httpd 2.2, add the following line to your NixOS configuration:

|

<programlisting>
|
||
services.httpd.package = pkgs.apacheHttpd_2_2;
|
||
</programlisting>
|
||
|
||
</para></listitem>
|

|
||
<listitem><para>PHP 5.3 has been removed because it is no longer
|
||
supported by the PHP project. A <link
|
||
xlink:href="http://php.net/migration54">migration guide</link> is
|
||
available.</para></listitem>
|

<listitem><para>The host side of a container virtual Ethernet pair
|
||
is now called <literal>ve-<replaceable>container-name</replaceable></literal>
|
||
rather than <literal>c-<replaceable>container-name</replaceable></literal>.</para></listitem>
|
||
|
||
<listitem><para>GNOME 3.10 support has been dropped. The default GNOME version is now 3.12.</para></listitem>
|
||
|
||
<listitem><para>VirtualBox has been upgraded to 4.3.20 release. Users may be required to run
|
||
<command>rm -rf /tmp.vbox*</command>. <literal>imports = [ <nixpkgs/nixos/modules/programs/virtualbox.nix> ]</literal>
|
||
is no longer necessary, use <literal>services.virtualboxHost.enable = true</literal> instead.
|
||
</para></listitem>
|
||
|
||
<listitem><para>Chromium has been updated to 39.0.2171.65. <option>enablePepperPDF</option> is now enabled by default.
|
||
<literal>chromium*Wrapper</literal> packages no longer exist, because upstream removed NSAPI support.

</para></listitem>
|

<listitem><para>Python packaging documentation is now part of nixpkgs manual. To override

</para></listitem>
|

|

<listitem><para><literal>boot.resumeDevice = "8:6"</literal> is no longer supported. Most users will
|
||
want to leave it undefined, which takes the swap partitions automatically. There is an evaluation
|
||
assertion to ensure that the string starts with a slash.
|
||
</para></listitem>
|
||
|
||
<listitem><para>The system-wide default timezone for NixOS installations
|
||
changed from <literal>CET</literal> to <literal>UTC</literal>. To choose
|
||
a different timezone for your system, configure
|

<literal>time.timeZone</literal> in

<literal>configuration.nix</literal>. A fairly complete list of possible

values for that setting is available at <link
