According to my analysis the last critical fix went into v5.4.23, I have
confirmed this by running WebGL over night and haven't seen a single
i915 GPU hang. Lets remove the notes from the release notes.

This is an backward incompatible change from upstream dhcpcd [0], as
this could have easily locked me out of my box.
As dhcpcd doesn't allow to use only a blacklist (denyinterfaces in
dhcpcd.conf) of devices and use all remaining devices, while explicitly
allowing some interfaces like bridges, I think the best option would be
to not change anything about it and just educate the users here about
that edge case and how to solve it.

Also removed `pkgs.hydra-flakes` since flake-support has been merged
into master[1]. Because of that, `pkgs.hydra-unstable` is now compiled
against `pkgs.nixFlakes` and currently requires a patch since Hydra's
master doesn't compile[2] atm.

Some changes might require manual migration steps:
"Due to changes to the way in which Gollum handles filenames, you may
have to change some links in your wiki when migrating from gollum 4.x.
See the release notes [0] for more details. You may find the
bin/gollum-migrate-tags script helpful to accomplish this. Also see the
--lenient-tag-lookup option for making tag lookup backwards compatible
with 4.x, though note that this will decrease performance on large wikis
with many tags." (source: [1])

So now we have only packages for human interaction in php.packages and
only extensions in php.extensions. With this php.packages.exts have
been merged into the same attribute set as all the other extensions to
make it flat and nice.
The nextcloud module have been updated to reflect this change as well
as the documentation.
Upgrades Hydra to the latest master/flake branch. To perform this
upgrade, it's needed to do a non-trivial db-migration which provides a
massive performance-improvement[1].
The basic ideas behind multi-step upgrades of services between NixOS versions
have been gathered already[2]. For further context it's recommended to
read this first.
Basically, the following steps are needed:
* Upgrade to a non-breaking version of Hydra with the db-changes
(columns are still nullable here). If `system.stateVersion` is set to
something older than 20.03, the package will be selected
automatically, otherwise `pkgs.hydra-migration` needs to be used.
* Run `hydra-backfill-ids` on the server.
* Deploy either `pkgs.hydra-unstable` (for Hydra master) or
`pkgs.hydra-flakes` (for flakes-support) to activate the optimization.
The steps are also documented in the release-notes and in the module
using `warnings`.
`pkgs.hydra` has been removed as latest Hydra doesn't compile with
`pkgs.nixStable` and to ensure a graceful migration using the newly
introduced packages.
To verify the approach, a simple vm-test has been added which verifies
the migration steps.

It's impossible to move two major-versions forward when upgrading
Nextcloud. This is an issue when comming from 19.09 (using Nextcloud 16)
and trying to upgrade to 20.03 (using Nextcloud 18 by default).
This patch implements the measurements discussed in #82056 and #82353 to
improve the update process and to circumvent similar issues in the
future:
* `pkgs.nextcloud` has been removed in favor of versioned attributes
(currently `pkgs.nextcloud17` and `pkgs.nextcloud18`). With that
approach we can safely backport major-releases in the future to
simplify those upgrade-paths and we can select one of the
major-releases as default depending on the configuration (helpful to
decide whether e.g. `pkgs.nextcloud17` or `pkgs.nextcloud18` should be
used on 20.03 and `master` atm).
* If `system.stateVersion` is older than `20.03`, `nextcloud17` will be
used (which is one major-release behind v16 from 19.09). When using a
package older than the latest major-release available (currently v18),
the evaluation will cause a warning which describes the issue and
suggests next steps.
To make those package-selections easier, a new option to define the
package to be used for the service (namely
`services.nextcloud.package`) was introduced.
* If `pkgs.nextcloud` exists (e.g. due to an overlay which was used to
provide more recent Nextcloud versions on older NixOS-releases), an
evaluation error will be thrown by default: this is to make sure that
`services.nextcloud.package` doesn't use an older version by accident
after checking the state-version. If `pkgs.nextcloud` is added
manually, it needs to be declared explicitly in
`services.nextcloud.package`.
* The `nixos/nextcloud`-documentation contains a
"Maintainer information"-chapter which describes how to roll out new
Nextcloud releases and how to deal with old (and probably unsafe)
versions.
Closes #82056
Dropbear lags behind OpenSSH significantly in both support for modern
key formats like `ssh-ed25519`, let alone the recently-introduced
U2F/FIDO2-based `sk-ssh-ed25519@openssh.com` (as I found when I switched
my `authorizedKeys` over to it and promptly locked myself out of my
server's initrd SSH, breaking reboots), as well as security features
like multiprocess isolation. Using the same SSH daemon for stage-1 and
the main system ensures key formats will always remain compatible, as
well as more conveniently allowing the sharing of configuration and
host keys.
The main reason to use Dropbear over OpenSSH would be initrd space
concerns, but NixOS initrds are already large (17 MiB currently on my
server), and the size difference between the two isn't huge (the test's
initrd goes from 9.7 MiB to 12 MiB with this change). If the size is
still a problem, then it would be easy to shrink sshd down to a few
hundred kilobytes by using an initrd-specific build that uses musl and
disables things like Kerberos support.
This passes the test and works on my server, but more rigorous testing
and review from people who use initrd SSH would be appreciated!
Running the manual on a TTY is useless in the graphical ISOs and not
particularly useful in non-graphical ISOs (since you can also run
'nixos-help').
Fixes #83157.
This mirrors the behaviour of systemd - It's udev that parses `.link`
files, not `systemd-networkd`.
This was originally applied in 36ef112a47,
but was reverted due to 1115959a8d causing
evaluation errors on hydra.
* Linkify all service options used in the code-examples.
* Demonstrated the use of `riot-web.override {}`.
* Moved the example how to configure a postgresql-database for
`matrix-synapse` to this document from the 20.03 release-notes.
