Dollar signs in options under
<literal>services.postfix</literal> 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 <literal>postage</literal> package (for web-based

<emphasis role="strong">The OpenSSH service no longer enables
support for DSA keys by default, which could cause a system

support manually.</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
DSA support was
<link xlink:href="https://www.openssh.com/legacy.html">deprecated
in OpenSSH 7.0</link>, due to it being too weak. To re-enable
support, add

Note, this also applies to the <literal>openssh_hpn</literal>
package.

<literal>cc-wrapper</literal> has been split in two; there is

commonly used files in <literal>nix-support</literal> are now
split between the two wrappers. Some commonly used ones, like
<literal>nix-support/dynamic-linker</literal>, are duplicated
for backwards compatability, even though they rightly belong
only in <literal>bintools-wrapper</literal>. Other more
obscure ones are just moved.

<para>
The propagation logic has been changed. The new logic, along
with new types of dependencies that go with, is thoroughly
documented in the &quot;Specifying dependencies&quot; section
of the &quot;Standard Environment&quot; chapter of the nixpkgs
manual. The old logic isn't but is easy to describe:
dependencies were propagated as the same type of dependency no
matter what. In practice, that means that many
<literal>propagatedNativeBuildInputs</literal> should instead
be <literal>propagatedBuildInputs</literal>. Thankfully, that
was and is the least used type of dependency. Also, it means
that some <literal>propagatedBuildInputs</literal> should
instead be <literal>depsTargetTargetPropagated</literal>.
Other types dependencies should be unaffected.

The merging of config options for
<literal>services.postfix.config</literal> was buggy.
Previously, if other options in the Postfix module like
<literal>services.postfix.useSrs</literal> were set and the
user set config options that were also set by such options,
the resulting config wouldn't include all options that were
needed. They are now merged correctly. If config options need
to be overridden, <literal>lib.mkForce</literal> or
<literal>lib.mkOverride</literal> can be used.
