<literal>pkgs.ghc</literal> now refers to
<literal>pkgs.targetPackages.haskellPackages.ghc</literal>.
This <emphasis>only</emphasis> makes a difference if you are
cross-compiling and will ensure that
<literal>pkgs.ghc</literal> always runs on the host platform
and compiles for the target platform (similar to
<literal>pkgs.gcc</literal> for example).
<literal>haskellPackages.ghc</literal> still behaves as
before, running on the build platform and compiling for the
host platform (similar to <literal>stdenv.cc</literal>). This
means you don’t have to adjust your derivations if you use
<literal>haskellPackages.callPackage</literal>, but when using
<literal>pkgs.callPackage</literal> and taking
<literal>ghc</literal> as an input, you should now use
<literal>buildPackages.ghc</literal> instead to ensure cross
compilation keeps working (or switch to
<literal>haskellPackages.callPackage</literal>).

MultiMC has been replaced with the fork PolyMC due to upstream
developers being hostile to 3rd party package maintainers.
PolyMC removes all MultiMC branding and is aimed at providing
proper 3rd party packages like the one contained in Nixpkgs.
This change affects the data folder where game instances and
other save and configuration files are stored. Users with
existing installations should rename
<literal>~/.local/share/multimc</literal> to
<literal>~/.local/share/polymc</literal>. The main config
file’s path has also moved from

The terraform 0.12 compatibility has been removed and the

</para>
<para>
This breaks back-compat so it’s not possible to mix-and-match
with previous versions of nixpkgs. In exchange, it now becomes

have different release schedules. To maintain compatibility
with prior releases of Nixpkgs,
<literal>pkgs.noto-fonts-cjk</literal> is currently an alias
of <literal>pkgs.noto-fonts-cjk-sans</literal> and doesn’t
include serif fonts.

The option
<link linkend="opt-services.redis.servers">services.redis.servers</link>
was added to support per-application
<literal>redis-server</literal> which is more secure since
Redis databases are only mere key prefixes without any
configuration or ACL of their own. Backward-compatibility is
preserved by mapping old
<literal>services.redis.settings</literal> to
<literal>services.redis.servers.&quot;&quot;.settings</literal>,
but you are strongly encouraged to name each
<literal>redis-server</literal> instance after the application
using it, instead of keeping that nameless one. Except for the
nameless
<literal>services.redis.servers.&quot;&quot;</literal> still
accessible at <literal>127.0.0.1:6379</literal>, and to the
members of the Unix group <literal>redis</literal> through the
Unix socket <literal>/run/redis/redis.sock</literal>, all
other <literal>services.redis.servers.${serverName}</literal>

do not apply to their normal system.
</para>
<para>
The <literal>config.system.build.vm</literal> attribute now
always exists and defaults to the value from
<literal>vmVariant</literal>. Configurations that import the
<literal>virtualisation/qemu-vm.nix</literal> module
themselves will override this value, such that
<literal>vmVariant</literal> is not used.

MariaDB is now offered in several versions, not just the

example, you can now just set
<literal>services.mysql.package = pkgs.mariadb_104;</literal>.
In general, it is recommended to run the newest version, to
get the newest features, while sticking with an LTS version
will most likely provide a more stable experience. Sometimes
software is also incompatible with the newest version of
MariaDB.
