<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.
