The NixOS VM test framework,

<literal>pkgs.nixosTest</literal>/<literal>make-test-python.nix</literal>,

now requires detaching commands such as
|
|
<literal>succeed("foo &")</literal> and

close stdout. This can be done with a redirect such as

This breaking change was necessitated by a race condition

The <literal>security.wrappers</literal> option now requires

to always specify an owner, group and whether the

setuid/setgid bit should be set. This is motivated by the fact

that before NixOS 21.11, specifying either setuid or setgid

but not owner/group resulted in wrappers owned by

nobody/nogroup, which is unsafe.
