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

		- xdg-desktop-portal has been updated to 1.18, which reworked how portal implementations are selected. If you roll your own desktop environment, you should either set `xdg.portal.config` or `xdg.portal.configPackages`, which allow fine-grained control over which portal backend to use for specific interfaces, as described in {manpage}`portals.conf(5)`.

		If you don't provide configurations, a portal backend will only be considered when the desktop you use matches its deprecated `UseIn` key. While some NixOS desktop modules should already ship one for you, it is suggested to test portal availability by trying [Door Knocker](https://flathub.org/apps/xyz.tytanium.DoorKnocker) and [ASHPD Demo](https://flathub.org/apps/com.belmoussaoui.ashpd.demo). If things regressed, you may run `G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all /path/to/xdg-desktop-portal/libexec/xdg-desktop-portal` for ideas on which config file and which portals are chosen.

		- `pass` now does not contain `password-store.el`. Users should get `password-store.el` from Emacs lisp package set `emacs.pkgs.password-store`.

		- `services.knot` now supports `.settings` from RFC42. The previous `.extraConfig` still works the same, but it displays a warning now.
