     The ELK stack: <varname>elasticsearch</varname>, <varname>logstash</varname> and <varname>kibana</varname> has been upgraded from 2.* to 6.3.*. The 2.* versions have been <link xlink:href="https://www.elastic.co/support/eol">unsupported since last year</link> so they have been removed. You can still use the 5.* versions under the names <varname>elasticsearch5</varname>, <varname>logstash5</varname> and <varname>kibana5</varname>.

    <para>
     The elastic beats: <varname>filebeat</varname>, <varname>heartbeat</varname>, <varname>metricbeat</varname> and <varname>packetbeat</varname> have had the same treatment: they now target 6.3.* as well. The 5.* versions are available under the names: <varname>filebeat5</varname>, <varname>heartbeat5</varname>, <varname>metricbeat5</varname> and <varname>packetbeat5</varname>

    <para>
     The ELK-6.3 stack now comes with <link xlink:href="https://www.elastic.co/products/x-pack/open">X-Pack by default</link>. Since X-Pack is licensed under the <link xlink:href="https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/master/licenses/ELASTIC-LICENSE.txt">Elastic License</link> the ELK packages now have an unfree license. To use them you need to specify <literal>allowUnfree = true;</literal> in your nixpkgs configuration.
    </para>
    <para>
     Fortunately there is also a free variant of the ELK stack without X-Pack. The packages are available under the names: <varname>elasticsearch-oss</varname>, <varname>logstash-oss</varname> and <varname>kibana-oss</varname>.

     <literal>stdenv.system</literal> and <literal>system</literal> in nixpkgs now refer to the host platform instead of the build platform. For native builds this is not change, let alone a breaking one. For cross builds, it is a breaking change, and <literal>stdenv.buildPlatform.system</literal> can be used instead for the old behavior. They should be using that anyways for clarity.

     The <literal>pkgs</literal> argument to NixOS modules can now be set directly using <literal>nixpkgs.pkgs</literal>. Previously, only the <literal>system</literal>, <literal>config</literal> and <literal>overlays</literal> arguments could be used to influence <literal>pkgs</literal>.

     A NixOS system can now be constructed more easily based on a preexisting invocation of Nixpkgs. For example:
<programlisting>
inherit (pkgs.nixos {
  boot.loader.grub.enable = false;
  fileSystems."/".device = "/dev/xvda1";
}) toplevel kernel initialRamdisk manual;
      </programlisting>
     This benefits evaluation performance, lets you write Nixpkgs packages that depend on NixOS images and is consistent with a deployment architecture that would be centered around Nixpkgs overlays.
