# Release 19.03 {#sec-release-19.03}
The 19.03 release branch became the stable branch in April, 2019.
## Highlights {#sec-release-19.03-highlights}
This release has the following notable changes:
- The [home.file._name_.source](#opt-home.file._name_.source) option now allows source
files to be hidden, that is, having a name starting with the `.`
character. It also allows the source file name to contain characters
not typically allowed for Nix store paths. For example, your
configuration can now contain things such as
``` nix
home.file."my file".source = ./. + "/file with spaces!";
```
- The type used for the systemd unit options under
[systemd.user.sockets](#opt-systemd.user.sockets),
etc. has been changed to offer more robust merging of
configurations. If you don't override values within systemd units
then you are not affected by this change. Unfortunately, if you do
override unit values you may encounter errors.
In particular, if you get an error saying that a "unique option" is
"defined multiple times" then you need to use the
[`mkForce`](https://nixos.org/nixos/manual/#sec-option-definitions-setting-priorities)
function. For example,
``` nix
systemd.user.services.foo.Service.ExecStart = "/foo/bar";
```
becomes
``` nix
systemd.user.services.foo.Service.ExecStart = lib.mkForce "/foo/bar";
```
We had to make this change because the old merging was causing too
many confusing situations for people.
## State Version Changes {#sec-release-19.03-state-version-changes}
The state version in this release includes the changes below. These
changes are only active if the [home.stateVersion](#opt-home.stateVersion) option is
set to "19.03" or later.
- There is now an option [programs.beets.enable](#opt-programs.beets.enable) that
defaults to `false`. Before the module would be active if the
[programs.beets.settings](#opt-programs.beets.settings) option was non-empty.
