Sefa Eyeoglu bd97ff5ff4 nixos/fontconfig: Change default antialiasing style to greyscale instead of subpixel 
fontconfig before version 2.13.1 was apparently implicitly not using
subpixel antialiasing. The fontconfig NixOS module deviated from this,
using subpixel antialiasing with `rgb` layout by default. In fontconfig
2.14.1, subpixel antialiasing was inadvertently enabled as the default:
2b6afa02ab

According to https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/fontconfig/-/issues/337,
that deviates from GNOME/GTK’s defaults, which resulted in apps taking the
settings directly from fontconfig (e.g. Firefox) from diverging from GNOME
programs.

The change was subsequently reverted in 2.14.2, choosing the greyscale
antialiasing explicitly: 030759b74f
Let’s reflect this default setting in the NixOS module.

Raw Blame History

Release 23.11 (“Tapir”, 2023.11/??)

Highlights

  • FoundationDB now defaults to major version 7.

New Services

  • Create the first release note entry in this section!

  • acme-dns, a limited DNS server to handle ACME DNS challenges easily and securely. Available as services.acme-dns.

Backward Incompatibilities

  • The latest version of clonehero now stores custom content in ~/.clonehero. See the migration instructions. Typically, these content files would exist along side the binary, but the previous build used a wrapper script that would store them in ~/.config/unity3d/srylain Inc_/Clone Hero.

  • python3.pkgs.fetchPypi (and python3Packages.fetchPypi) has been deprecated in favor of top-level fetchPypi.

  • etcd has been updated to 3.5, you will want to read the 3.3 to 3.4 and 3.4 to 3.5 upgrade guides

  • util-linux is now supported on Darwin and is no longer an alias to unixtools. Use the unixtools.util-linux package for access to the Apple variants of the utilities.

Other Notable Changes

  • The Cinnamon module now enables XDG desktop integration by default. If you are experiencing collisions related to xdg-desktop-portal-gtk you can safely remove xdg.portal.extraPortals = [ pkgs.xdg-desktop-portal-gtk ]; from your NixOS configuration.

  • fontconfig now defaults to using greyscale antialiasing instead of subpixel antialiasing because of a recommendation from one of the downstreams. You can change this value by configuring accordingly.

  • A new option was added to the virtualisation module that enables specifying explicitly named network interfaces in QEMU VMs. The existing virtualisation.vlans is still supported for cases where the name of the network interface is irrelevant.

  • services.nginx gained a defaultListen option at server-level with support for PROXY protocol listeners, also proxyProtocol is now exposed in services.nginx.virtualHosts.<name>.listen option. It is now possible to run PROXY listeners and non-PROXY listeners at a server-level, see #213510 for more details.
