 - The option `i18n.inputMethod.fcitx5.enableRimeData` has been removed. Default RIME data is now included in `fcitx5-rime` by default, and can be customized using `fcitx5-rime.override { rimeDataPkgs = [ pkgs.rime-data, package2, ... ]; }`
 
+- The udev hwdb.bin file is now built with systemd-hwdb rather than the [deprecated "udevadm hwdb"](https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/25714). This may impact mappings where the same key is defined in multiple matching entries. The updated behavior will select the latest definition in case of conflict. In general, this should be a positive change, as the hwdb source files are designed with this ordering in mind. As an example, the mapping of the HP Dev One keyboard scan code for "mute mic" is corrected by this update. This change may impact users who have worked-around previously incorrect mappings.

 - Kime has been updated from 2.5.6 to 3.0.2 and the `i18n.inputMethod.kime.config` option has been removed. Users should use `daemonModules`, `iconColor`, and `extraConfig` options under `i18n.inputMethod.kime` instead.
 
 - `tut` has been updated from 1.0.34 to 2.0.0, and now uses the TOML format for the configuration file instead of INI. Additional information can be found [here](https://github.com/RasmusLindroth/tut/releases/tag/2.0.0).
