# Release 20.09 {#sec-release-20.09}
|
|
|
|
The 20.09 release branch became the stable branch in late September,
|
|
2020.
|
|
|
|
## Highlights {#sec-release-20.09-highlights}
|
|
|
|
This release has the following notable changes:
|
|
|
|
- Nothing has happened.
|
|
|
|
## State Version Changes {#sec-release-20.09-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
|
|
\"20.09\" or later.
|
|
|
|
- The options [opt-home.homeDirectory](#opt-home.homeDirectory) and
|
|
[opt-home.username](#opt-home.username) no longer have default values and must
|
|
therefore be provided in your configuration. Previously their values
|
|
would default to the content of the environment variables `HOME` and
|
|
`USER`, respectively.
|
|
|
|
Further, the options [opt-xdg.cacheHome](#opt-xdg.cacheHome),
|
|
[opt-xdg.dataHome](#opt-xdg.dataHome) will no
|
|
longer be affected by the `XDG_CACHE_HOME`, `XDG_CONFIG_HOME`, and
|
|
`XDG_DATA_HOME` environment variables. They now unconditionally
|
|
default to
|
|
|
|
- `"${config.home.homeDirectory}/.cache"`,
|
|
|
|
- `"${config.home.homeDirectory}/.config"`, and
|
|
|
|
- `"${config.home.homeDirectory}/.local/share"`.
|
|
|
|
If you choose to switch to state version 20.09 then you must set
|
|
these options if you use non-default XDG base directory paths.
|
|
|
|
The initial configuration generated by
|
|
|
|
``` console
|
|
$ nix-shell '<home-manager>' -A install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
will automatically include these options, when necessary.
|
|
|
|
- Git's `smtpEncryption` option is now set to `tls` only if both
|
|
[opt-accounts.email.accounts._name_.smtp.tls.enable](#opt-accounts.email.accounts._name_.smtp.tls.enable) and
|
|
[opt-accounts.email.accounts._name_.smtp.tls.useStartTls](#opt-accounts.email.accounts._name_.smtp.tls.useStartTls) are
|
|
`true`. If only
|
|
[opt-accounts.email.accounts._name_.smtp.tls.enable](#opt-accounts.email.accounts._name_.smtp.tls.enable) is
|
|
`true`, `ssl` is used instead.
|
|
|
|
- The `nixpkgs` module no longer references `<nixpkgs>`. Before it
|
|
would do so when building the `pkgs` module argument. Starting with
|
|
state version 20.09, the `pkgs` argument is instead built from the
|
|
same Nixpkgs that was used to initialize the Home Manager modules.
|
|
This is useful, for example, when using Home Manager within a Nix
|
|
Flake. If you want to keep using `<nixpkgs>` with state version ≥
|
|
20.09 then add
|
|
|
|
``` nix
|
|
_module.args.pkgsPath = <nixpkgs>;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
to your Home Manager configuration.
|
|
|
|
- The options `wayland.windowManager.sway.config.bars` and
|
|
`opt-xsession.windowManager.i3.config.bars` have been changed so
|
|
that most of the suboptions are now nullable and default to `null`.
|
|
The default for these two options has been changed to manually set
|
|
the old defaults for each suboption. The overall effect is that if
|
|
the `bars` options is not set, then the default remains the same. On
|
|
the other hand, something like:
|
|
|
|
``` nix
|
|
bars = [ {
|
|
command = "waybar";
|
|
} ];
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
will now create the config:
|
|
|
|
bar {
|
|
swaybar_command waybar
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
instead of
|
|
|
|
bar {
|
|
|
|

|
|
mode dock
|
|
hidden_state hide
|
