Highlights In addition to numerous new and upgraded packages, this release has the following highlights:
New Services The following new services were added since the last release:
Backward Incompatibilities When upgrading from a previous release, please be aware of the following incompatible changes: Dollar signs in options under are passed verbatim to Postfix, which will interpret them as the beginning of a parameter expression. This was already true for string-valued options in the previous release, but not for list-valued options. If you need to pass literal dollar signs through Postfix, double them. The postage package (for web-based PostgreSQL administration) has been renamed to pgmanage. The corresponding module has also been renamed. To migrate please rename all options to . The OpenSSH service no longer enables support for DSA keys by default, which could cause a system lock out. Update your keys or, unfavorably, re-enable DSA support manually. DSA support was deprecated in OpenSSH 7.0, due to it being too weak. To re-enable support, add PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes +ssh-dss to the end of your . After updating the keys to be stronger, anyone still on a pre-17.03 version is safe to jump to 17.03, as vetted here.
Other Notable Changes ZNC option now defaults to true. That means that old configuration is not overwritten by default when update to the znc options are made. The option has been added for wireless networks with WPA-Enterprise authentication. There is also a new option to directly configure wpa_supplicant and to connect to hidden networks. The option is now none by default. An assertion failure is thrown if WM's and DM's default are none. To explicitly run a plain X session without and DM or WM, the newly introduced option must be set to true.
