Nixpkgs no longer packages compton, and instead packages picom, a (mostly) compatible fork of compton, providing an alias from compton to picom. Because some configuration options have been changed, and all references to "compton" have been made deprecated and replaced with "picom", 'services.compton' has been deprecated in favor of the new 'services.picom'.

== Release 20.03 (unreleased)
|
|
|
|
This is the current unstable branch and the information in this
|
|
section is therefore not final.
|
|
|
|
[[sec-release-20.03-highlights]]
|
|
=== Highlights
|
|
|
|
This release has the following notable changes:
|
|
|
|
* Assigning a list to the <<opt-home.file>>, <<opt-xdg.configFile>>,
|
|
and <<opt-xdg.dataFile>> options is now deprecated and will produce a
|
|
warning message if used. Specifically, if your configuration currently
|
|
contains something like
|
|
+
|
|
[source,nix]
|
|
----
|
|
home.file = [
|
|
{
|
|
target = ".config/foo.txt";
|
|
text = "bar";
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
----
|
|
+
|
|
then it should be updated to instead use the equivalent attribute set form
|
|
+
|
|
[source,nix]
|
|
----
|
|
home.file = {
|
|
".config/foo.txt".text = "bar";
|
|
}
|
|
----
|
|
+
|
|
Support for the list form will be removed in Home Manager version
|
|
20.09.
|
|
|
|
* The `lib` function attribute given to modules is now enriched with
|
|
an attribute `hm` containing extra library functions specific for Home
|
|
Manager. More specifically, `lib.hm` is now the same as `config.lib`
|
|
and should be the preferred choice since it is more robust.
|
|
+
|
|
Therefore, if your configuration makes use of, for example,
|
|
`config.lib.dag` to create activation script blocks, it is recommended
|
|
to change to `lib.hm.dag`.
|
|
+
|
|
Note, in the unlikely case that you are
|
|
+
|
|
** using Home Manager's NixOS or nix-darwin module,
|
|
** have made your own Home Manager module containing an top-level
|
|
option named `config` or `options`, and
|
|
** assign to this option in your system configuration inside a plain
|
|
attribute set, i.e., without a function argument,
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
then you must update your configuration to perform the option
|
|
assignment inside a `config` attribute. For example, instead of
|
|
+
|
|
[source,nix]
|
|
----
|
|
home-manager.users.jane = { config = "foo"; };
|
|
----
|
|
+
|
|
use
|
|
+
|
|
[source,nix]
|
|
----
|
|
home-manager.users.jane = { config.config = "foo"; };
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
* The `services.compton` module has been deprecated and instead the
|
|
new module `services.picom` should be used. This is because Nixpkgs no
|
|
longer packages compton, and instead packages the (mostly) compatible
|
|
fork called picom.

[[sec-release-20.03-state-version-changes]]
|
|
=== State Version Changes
|
|
|
|
The state version in this release includes the changes below. These
|
|
changes are only active if the `home.stateVersion` option is set to
|
|
"20.03" or later.
|
|
|
|
* The <<opt-programs.zsh.history.path>> option is no longer prepended
|
|
by `$HOME`, which allows specifying absolute paths, for example,
|
|
using the xdg module. Also, the default value is fixed to
|
|
`$HOME/.zsh_history` and `dotDir` path is not prepended to it
|
|
anymore.
|
|
* The newsboat module will now default in displaying `queries` before `urls` in
|
|
its main window. This makes sense in the case when one has a lot of URLs and
|
|
few queries.
