Release 20.09 (unreleased)

This is the current unstable branch and the information in this section is therefore not final.

Highlights

This release has the following notable changes:

  • Nothing has happened.

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 "20.09" or later.

  • The options [opt-home.homeDirectory] and [opt-home.username] no longer have default values and must therefore be provided in your configuration. Previously their values would default to the content of the environment variables HOME and USER, respectively.

    Further, the options [opt-xdg.cacheHome], [opt-xdg.configHome], and [opt-xdg.dataHome] will no longer be affected by the XDG_CACHE_HOME, XDG_CONFIG_HOME, and XDG_DATA_HOME environment variables. They now unconditionally default to

    • "${config.home.homeDirectory}/.cache",

    • "${config.home.homeDirectory}/.config", and

    • "${config.home.homeDirectory}/.local/share".

    If you choose to switch to state version 20.09 then you must set these options if you use non-default XDG base directory paths.

    The initial configuration generated by

    $ nix-shell '<home-manager>' -A install

    will automatically include these options, when necessary.
