- Nextcloud 20 (`pkgs.nextcloud20`) has been dropped because it was EOLed by upstream in 2021-10.
- The `virtualisation.pathsInNixDB` option was renamed
[`virtualisation.additionalPaths`](options.html#opt-virtualisation.additionalPaths).
## Other Notable Changes {#sec-release-21.11-notable-changes}
- The linux kernel package infrastructure was moved out of `all-packages.nix`, and restructured. Linux related functions and attributes now live under the `pkgs.linuxKernel` attribute set.
In particular the versioned `linuxPackages_*` package sets (such as `linuxPackages_5_4`) and kernels from `pkgs` were moved there and now live under `pkgs.linuxKernel.packages.*`. The unversioned ones (such as `linuxPackages_latest`) remain untouched.
- In NixOS virtual machines (QEMU), the `virtualisation` module has been updated with new options to configure:
- IPv4 port forwarding ([`virtualisation.forwardPorts`](options.html#opt-virtualisation.forwardPorts)),
- shared host directories ([`virtualisation.sharedDirectories`](options.html#opt-virtualisation.sharedDirectories)),
- screen resolution ([`virtualisation.resolution`](options.html#opt-virtualisation.resolution)).
- In NixOS virtual machines (QEMU), the `virtualisation` module has been updated with new options:
- [`forwardPorts`](options.html#opt-virtualisation.forwardPorts) to configure IPv4 port forwarding,
- [`sharedDirectories`](options.html#opt-virtualisation.sharedDirectories) to set up shared host directories,
- [`resolution`](options.html#opt-virtualisation.resolution) to set the screen resolution,
- [`useNixStoreImage`](options.html#opt-virtualisation.useNixStoreImage) to use a disk image for the Nix store instead of 9P.
In addition, the default [`msize`](options.html#opt-virtualisation.msize) parameter in 9P filesystems (including /nix/store and all shared directories) has been increased to 16K for improved performance.
