If the keyboard configuration is an empty set, don't run the setxkbmap service. The default values for all keyboard options are null or empty so long as the state version is set to 19.09 or higher (21.05 being the latest version).

== Release 21.11
|
||
|
||
This is the current unstable branch and the information in this
|
||
section is therefore not final.
|
||
|
||
[[sec-release-21.11-highlights]]
|
||
=== Highlights
|
||
|
||
This release has the following notable changes:
|
||
|
||
* All Home Manager modules are now loaded on all platforms. With this
|
||
change you will get a more descriptive error message if you attempt to
|
||
enable a module that is incompatible with the host platform.
|
||
+
|
||
Previously, modules that were platform specific would only be loaded
|
||
on that particular platform. For example, a module defining a
|
||
https://systemd.io/[systemd] service would only be loaded when the
|
||
host platform was Linux. This reduced evaluation times, simplified the
|
||
generated documentation, and made it impossible to accidentally use
|
||
modules that do not support the host platform.
|
||
+
|
||
While the above benefits are quite nice, avoiding module loads also
|
||
brings a few problems. For example, the
|
||
https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager/[public documentation]
|
||
will only show the options available for Linux hosts and the
|
||
documentation cannot make references to options within modules that
|
||
are unavailable on some hosts. Finally, users who wish to use the same
|
||
configuration file for different platforms cannot do so, even if the
|
||
platform incompatible options are unused.
|
||
+
|
||
Ultimately, the benefits of loading all modules won and the behavior
|
||
has now changed. For associated discussion see
|
||
https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/issues/1906[issue #1906].
|
||
|
||
* Rofi version 1.7.0 removed many options that were used by the module and replaced them with custom themes, which are more flexible and powerful.
|
||
+
|
||
You can replicate your old configuration by moving those options to <<opt-programs.rofi.theme>>. Keep in mind that the syntax is different so you may need to do some changes.

[[sec-release-21.11-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
|
||
"21.11" or later.
|
||
|
||
* The <<opt-home.keyboard>> option now defaults to `null`, meaning that Home Manager won't do any keyboard layout management. For example, `setxkbmap` won't be run in X sessions.
