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.

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 option has been replaced by a more - generic 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 -
