     and <link linkend="opt-services.openssh.authorizedKeysCommandUser">authorizedKeysCommandUser</link>, have

    <para>
     Grafana is now built without support for phantomjs by default. Phantomjs support has been
     <link xlink:href="https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/guides/whats-new-in-v6-4/">deprecated in Grafana</link>
     and the <package>phantomjs</package> project is
     <link xlink:href="https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/issues/15344#issue-302015362">currently unmaintained</link>.
     It can still be enabled by providing <literal>phantomJsSupport = true</literal> to the package instanciation:
<programlisting>{
  services.grafana.package = pkgs.grafana.overrideAttrs (oldAttrs: rec {
    phantomJsSupport = false;
  });
}</programlisting>
    </para>
   </listitem>
   <listitem>
    <para>
      The <link linkend="opt-services.supybot.enable">supybot</link> module now uses <literal>/var/lib/supybot</literal>
      as its default <link linkend="opt-services.supybot.stateDir">stateDir</link> path if <literal>stateVersion</literal>
      is 20.09 or higher. It also enables number of
      <link xlink:href="https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.exec.html#Sandboxing">systemd sandboxing options</link>
      which may possibly interfere with some plugins. If this is the case you can disable the options through attributes in
      <option>systemd.services.supybot.serviceConfig</option>.
    </para>
   </listitem>
   <listitem>
    <para>
      The <literal>security.duosec.skey</literal> option, which stored a secret in the
      nix store, has been replaced by a new
      <link linkend="opt-security.duosec.secretKeyFile">security.duosec.secretKeyFile</link>
      option for better security.
    </para>
    <para>
      <literal>security.duosec.ikey</literal> has been renamed to
      <link linkend="opt-security.duosec.integrationKey">security.duosec.integrationKey</link>.

     The initrd SSH support now uses OpenSSH rather than Dropbear to
     allow the use of Ed25519 keys and other OpenSSH-specific
     functionality. Host keys must now be in the OpenSSH format, and at
     least one pre-generated key must be specified.
    </para>
    <para>
     If you used the <option>boot.initrd.network.ssh.host*Key</option>
     options, you'll get an error explaining how to convert your host
     keys and migrate to the new
     <option>boot.initrd.network.ssh.hostKeys</option> option.
     Otherwise, if you don't have any host keys set, you'll need to
     generate some; see the <option>hostKeys</option> option
     documentation for instructions.

       Since this release there's an easy way to customize your PHP install to get a much smaller
       base PHP with only wanted extensions enabled. See the following snippet installing a smaller PHP
       with the extensions <literal>imagick</literal>, <literal>opcache</literal> and
       <literal>pdo_mysql</literal> loaded:

       <programlisting>
environment.systemPackages = [
(pkgs.php.buildEnv { exts = pp: with pp; [
    imagick
    opcache
    pdo_mysql
  ]; })
];</programlisting>

       The default <literal>php</literal> attribute hasn't lost any extensions -
       the <literal>opcache</literal> extension was added there.

       All upstream PHP extensions are available under <package><![CDATA[php.extensions.<name?>]]></package>.
     </para>
     <para>
       The updated <literal>php</literal> attribute is now easily customizable to your liking
       by using extensions instead of writing config files or changing configure flags.

       Therefore we have removed the following configure flags:
