- [testers.shellcheck](https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/unstable/#tester-shellcheck) now warns when `name` is not provided.
The `name` argument will become mandatory in a future release.
- `tauon` 7.9.0+ when launched for the first time, migrates its database to a new schema that is not backwards compatible. Older versions will refuse to start at all with that database afterwards. If you need to still use older tauon versions, make sure to back up `~/.local/share/TauonMusicBox`.

- `nodePackages.meshcommander` has been removed, as the package was deprecated by Intel.
- The default version of `z3` has been updated from 4.8 to 4.13. There are still a few packages that need specific older versions; those will continue to be maintained as long as other packages depend on them but may be removed in the future.
- The `nixLog*` family of functions made available through the standard environment have been rewritten to prefix messages with both the debug level and the function name of the caller.
The `nixLog` function, which logs unconditionally, was also re-introduced and modified to prefix messages with the function name of the caller.

- `tpm2-pkcs11` now has the variant `tpm2-pkcs11-fapi`, which has been patched to default to the Feature API backend. It has also been split into `tpm2-pkcs11-esapi`, which _only_ supports the older Enhanced System API backend. Note the [differences](https://github.com/tpm2-software/tpm2-pkcs11/blob/1.9.1/docs/FAPI.md), and that `tpm2-pkcs11` itself still needs `TPM2_PKCS11_BACKEND=fapi` exported in order to use the Feature API, whereas `tpm2-pkcs11-fapi` does not, and `tpm2-pkcs11-esapi` just does not support fapi entirely.
- For matrix homeserver Synapse we are now following the upstream recommendation to enable jemalloc as the memory allocator by default.
- A new hardening flag, `nostrictaliasing` was made available, corresponding to the gcc/clang option `-fno-strict-aliasing`.
- In `dovecot` package removed hard coding path to module directory.
- `signal-desktop` has been migrated to a from source build. No state migration is necessary. In case there's no working source build available (like on Darwin), the the binary build is still available at `signal-desktop-bin`.
