The <literal>mediatomb</literal> service is
now using by default the new and maintained fork
<literal>gerbera</literal> package instead of the unmaintained
<literal>mediatomb</literal> package. If you want to keep the old
behavior, you must declare it with:
<programlisting>
services.mediatomb.package = pkgs.mediatomb;
</programlisting>
One new option <literal>openFirewall</literal> has been introduced which
defaults to false. If you relied on the service declaration to add the
firewall rules itself before, you should now declare it with:
<programlisting>
services.mediatomb.openFirewall = true;
</programlisting>

The <literal>mediatomb</literal> service
declares new options. It also adapts existing options so the
configuration generation is now lazy. The existing option
<literal>customCfg</literal> (defaults to false), when enabled, stops
the service configuration generation completely. It then expects the
users to provide their own correct configuration at the right location
(whereas the configuration was generated and not used at all before).
The new option <literal>transcodingOption</literal> (defaults to no)
allows a generated configuration. It makes the mediatomb service pulls
the necessary runtime dependencies in the nix store (whereas it was
generated with hardcoded values before). The new option
<literal>mediaDirectories</literal> allows the users to declare autoscan
media directories from their nixos configuration:
<programlisting>
services.mediatomb.mediaDirectories = [
{ path = "/var/lib/mediatomb/pictures"; recursive = false; hidden-files = false; }
{ path = "/var/lib/mediatomb/audio"; recursive = true; hidden-files = false; }
];

The Unbound DNS resolver service (<literal>services.unbound</literal>) has been refactored to allow reloading, control sockets and to fix startup ordering issues.
