The old behavior can be restored by - setting <literal>services.ntp.enable</literal> to <literal>true</literal>. - Upstream time servers for all NTP implementations are now configured using - <literal>networking.timeServers</literal>. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - <literal>service.nylon</literal> is now declared using named instances. As - an example: -<programlisting> - services.nylon = { - enable = true; - acceptInterface = "br0"; - bindInterface = "tun1"; - port = 5912; - }; -</programlisting> - should be replaced with: -<programlisting> - services.nylon.myvpn = { - enable = true; - acceptInterface = "br0"; - bindInterface = "tun1"; - port = 5912; - }; -</programlisting> - this enables you to declare a SOCKS proxy for each uplink. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - <literal>overridePackages</literal> function no longer exists. It is - replaced by - <link - xlink:href="https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#sec-overlays-install"> - overlays</link>.

This - default was also changed in the Linux kernel and is considered insecure if - not configured properly in your firewall. If you need connection tracking - helpers (i.e. for active FTP) please enable - <literal>networking.firewall.autoLoadConntrackHelpers</literal> and tune - <literal>networking.firewall.connectionTrackingModules</literal> to suit - your needs. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - <literal>local_recipient_maps</literal> is not set to empty value by - Postfix service. It's an insecure default as stated by Postfix - documentation. Those who want to retain this setting need to set it via - <literal>services.postfix.extraConfig</literal>. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - Iputils no longer provide ping6 and traceroute6. The functionality of - these tools has been integrated into ping and traceroute respectively. To - enforce an address family the new flags <literal>-4</literal> and - <literal>-6</literal> have been added. One notable incompatibility is that - specifying an interface (for link-local IPv6 for instance) is no longer - done with the <literal>-I</literal> flag, but by encoding the interface - into the address (<literal>ping fe80::1%eth0</literal>). - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - The socket handling of the <literal>services.rmilter</literal> module has - been fixed and refactored. As rmilter doesn't support binding to more than - one socket, the options <literal>bindUnixSockets</literal> and - <literal>bindInetSockets</literal> have been replaced by - <literal>services.rmilter.bindSocket.*</literal>. The default is still a - unix socket in <literal>/run/rmilter/rmilter.sock</literal>. Refer to the - options documentation for more information. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - The <literal>fetch*</literal> functions no longer support md5, please use - sha256 instead. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - The dnscrypt-proxy module interface has been streamlined around the - <option>extraArgs</option> option. Where possible, legacy option - declarations are mapped to <option>extraArgs</option> but will emit - warnings. The <option>resolverList</option> has been outright removed: to - use an unlisted resolver, use the <option>customResolver</option> option. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - torbrowser now stores local state under - <filename>~/.local/share/tor-browser</filename> by default. Any browser - profile data from the old location, <filename>~/.torbrowser4</filename>, - must be migrated manually. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - The ihaskell, monetdb, offlineimap and sitecopy services have been - removed. - </para> - </listitem> - </itemizedlist> - </section> - - <section xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" - xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" - xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" - version="5.0" - xml:id="sec-release-17.03-notable-changes"> - <title>Other Notable Changes</title> - - <itemizedlist> - <listitem> - <para> - Module type system have a new extensible option types feature that allow - to extend certain types, such as enum, through multiple option - declarations of the same option across multiple modules. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - <literal>jre</literal> now defaults to GTK UI by default. This improves - visual consistency and makes Java follow system font style, improving the - situation on HighDPI displays. This has a cost of increased closure size; - for server and other headless workloads it's recommended to use - <literal>jre_headless</literal>. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - Python 2.6 interpreter and package set have been removed. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - The Python 2.7 interpreter does not use modules anymore. Instead, all - CPython interpreters now include the whole standard library except for - `tkinter`, which is available in the Python package set. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - Python 2.7, 3.5 and 3.6 are now built deterministically and 3.4 mostly. - Minor modifications had to be made to the interpreters in order to - generate deterministic bytecode. This has security implications and is - relevant for those using Python in a <literal>nix-shell</literal>. See the - Nixpkgs manual for details. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - The Python package sets now use a fixed-point combinator and the sets are - available as attributes of the interpreters. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - The Python function <literal>buildPythonPackage</literal> has been - improved and can be used to build from Setuptools source, Flit source, and - precompiled Wheels. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - When adding new or updating current Python libraries, the expressions - should be put in separate files in - <literal>pkgs/development/python-modules</literal> and called from - <literal>python-packages.nix</literal>. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - The dnscrypt-proxy service supports synchronizing the list of public - resolvers without working DNS resolution. This fixes issues caused by the - resolver list becoming outdated. It also improves the viability of - DNSCrypt only configurations. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - Containers using bridged networking no longer lose their connection after - changes to the host networking. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - ZFS supports pool auto scrubbing. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - The bind DNS utilities (e.g. dig) have been split into their own output - and are now also available in <literal>pkgs.dnsutils</literal> and it is - no longer necessary to pull in all of <literal>bind</literal> to use them. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - Per-user configuration was moved from <filename>~/.nixpkgs</filename> to - <filename>~/.config/nixpkgs</filename>.
