<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
Support is planned until the end of December 2021, handing over to 21.11.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The default Linux kernel was updated to the 5.10 LTS series, coming from the 5.4 LTS series.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>GNOME desktop environment was upgraded to 40, see the release notes for <link xlink:href="https://help.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/40.0/">40.0</link> and <link xlink:href="https://help.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/3.38/">3.38</link>. The <code>gnome3</code> attribute set has been renamed to <code>gnome</code> and so have been the NixOS options.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<link xlink:href="https://www.gnuradio.org/">GNURadio</link> 3.8 was
<link xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/82263">finally</link>
packaged, along with a rewrite to the Nix expressions, allowing users to
override the features upstream supports selecting to compile or not to.
Additionally, the attribute <code>gnuradio</code> and <code>gnuradio3_7</code>
now point to an externally wrapped by default derivations, that allow you to
also add `extraPythonPackages` to the Python interpreter used by GNURadio.
Missing environmental variables needed for operational GUI were also added
(<link xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/75478">#75478</link>).
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<link xlink:href="https://www.gnuradio.org/">GNURadio</link> has a
<code>pkgs</code> attribute set, and there's a <code>gnuradio.callPackage</code>
function that extends <code>pkgs</code> with a <code>mkDerivation</code>, and a
<code>mkDerivationWith</code>, like Qt5. Now all <code>gnuradio.pkgs</code> are
defined with <code>gnuradio.callPackage</code> and some packages that depend
on gnuradio are defined with this as well.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<link xlink:href="https://www.privoxy.org/">Privoxy</link> has been updated
to version 3.0.32 (See <link xlink:href="https://lists.privoxy.org/pipermail/privoxy-announce/2021-February/000007.html">announcement</link>).
Compared to the previous release, Privoxy has gained support for HTTPS
inspection (still experimental), Brotli decompression, several new filters
and lots of bug fixes, including security ones. In addition, the package
is now built with compression and external filters support, which were
previously disabled.
</para>
<para>
Regarding the NixOS module, new options for HTTPS inspection have been added
and <option>services.privoxy.extraConfig</option> has been replaced by the new
<xref linkend="opt-services.privoxy.settings"/>
(See <link xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/blob/master/rfcs/0042-config-option.md">RFC 0042</link>
for the motivation).
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>

</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>

further details.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
The <option>services.packagekit.backend</option> option has been removed as
it only supported a single setting which would always be the default.
Instead new <link
xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/blob/master/rfcs/0042-config-option.md">RFC
0042</link> compliant <xref linkend="opt-services.packagekit.settings"/>

Please note that it's <emphasis>not</emphasis> possible to upgrade <literal>nextcloud</literal>

most <literal>20.09</literal> users will have to upgrade to <package>nextcloud20</package>
first.

NixOS now emits a deprecation warning if systemd's <literal>StartLimitInterval</literal> setting is used in a <literal>serviceConfig</literal> section instead of in a <literal>unitConfig</literal>; that setting is deprecated and now undocumented for the service section by systemd upstream, but still effective and somewhat buggy there, which can be confusing. See <link xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/45785">#45785</link> for details.

The Unbound DNS resolver service (<literal>services.unbound</literal>) has been refactored to allow reloading, control sockets and to fix startup ordering issues.
</para>
<para>
It is now possible to enable a local UNIX control socket for unbound by setting the <xref linkend="opt-services.unbound.localControlSocketPath" />
option.
</para>
<para>
Previously we just applied a very minimal set of restrictions and
trusted unbound to properly drop root privs and capabilities.
</para>
<para>
As of this we are (for the most part) just using the upstream
example unit file for unbound. The main difference is that we start
unbound as <literal>unbound</literal> user with the required capabilities instead of
letting unbound do the chroot & uid/gid changes.
</para>
<para>
The upstream unit configuration this is based on is a lot stricter with
all kinds of permissions then our previous variant. It also came with
the default of having the <literal>Type</literal> set to <literal>notify</literal>, therefore we are now also
using the <literal>unbound-with-systemd</literal> package here. Unbound will start up,
read the configuration files and start listening on the configured ports
before systemd will declare the unit <literal>active (running)</literal>.
This will likely help with startup order and the occasional race condition during system
activation where the DNS service is started but not yet ready to answer
queries. Services depending on <literal>nss-lookup.target</literal> or <literal>unbound.service</literal>
are now be able to use unbound when those targets have been reached.
</para>
<para>
Additionally to the much stricter runtime environment the
<literal>/dev/urandom</literal> mount lines we previously had in the code (that
randomly failed during the stop-phase) have been removed as systemd will take care of those for us.
</para>
<para>
The <literal>preStart</literal> script is now only required if we enabled the trust
anchor updates (which are still enabled by default).
</para>
<para>
Another benefit of the refactoring is that we can now issue reloads via
either <literal>pkill -HUP unbound</literal> and <literal>systemctl reload unbound</literal> to reload the
running configuration without taking the daemon offline. A prerequisite
of this was that unbound configuration is available on a well known path
on the file system. We are using the path <literal>/etc/unbound/unbound.conf</literal> as that is the
default in the CLI tooling which in turn enables us to use
<literal>unbound-control</literal> without passing a custom configuration location.

The module has also been reworked to be <link
xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/blob/master/rfcs/0042-config-option.md">RFC
0042</link> compliant. As such,
<option>sevices.unbound.extraConfig</option> has been removed and replaced
by <xref linkend="opt-services.unbound.settings"/>. <option>services.unbound.interfaces</option>
has been renamed to <option>services.unbound.settings.server.interface</option>.
</para>
<para>
<option>services.unbound.forwardAddresses</option> and
<option>services.unbound.allowedAccess</option> have also been changed to
use the new settings interface. You can follow the instructions when
executing <literal>nixos-rebuild</literal> to upgrade your configuration to
use the new interface.

When defining a new user, one of <xref linkend="opt-users.users._name_.isNormalUser" /> and <xref linkend="opt-users.users._name_.isSystemUser" /> is now required.
This is to prevent accidentally giving a UID above 1000 to system users, which could have unexpected consequences, like running user activation scripts for system users.
Note that users defined with an explicit UID below 500 are exempted from this check, as <xref linkend="opt-users.users._name_.isSystemUser" /> has no effect for those.

The <literal>security.apparmor</literal> module,
for the <link xlink:href="https://gitlab.com/apparmor/apparmor/-/wikis/Documentation">AppArmor</link>
Mandatory Access Control system,
has been substantialy improved along with related tools,
so that module maintainers can now more easily write AppArmor profiles for NixOS.
The most notable change on the user-side is the new option <xref linkend="opt-security.apparmor.policies"/>,
replacing the previous <literal>profiles</literal> option
to provide a way to disable a profile
and to select whether to confine in enforce mode (default)
or in complain mode (see <literal>journalctl -b --grep apparmor</literal>).
Security-minded users may also want to enable <xref linkend="opt-security.apparmor.killUnconfinedConfinables"/>,
at the cost of having some of their processes killed
when updating to a NixOS version introducing new AppArmor profiles.
