channels in <command>nix-build</command> and <command>nix-shell</command>
commands, as well as in imports like <code>import
<mychannel></code>.

<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.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
The <varname>services.docker-registry.extraConfig</varname> object doesn't contain
environment variables anymore. Instead it needs to provide an object structure
that can be mapped onto the YAML configuration defined in <link xlink:href="https://github.com/docker/distribution/blob/v2.6.2/docs/configuration.md">the <varname>docker/distribution</varname> docs</link>.
