- `python3packages.pillow-avif-plugin` has been removed as the functionality is included in `python3packages.pillow` directly since version 11.3.
- `light` has been removed because it was unmaintained.
`brightnessctl` and `acpilight` provide similar functionality.
- `services.openssh.settings.AcceptEnv` now explicitly defined as an option that takes a list of strings, to facilitate option merging. Setting it to a string value is no longer supported.
- `nodejs-slim` has a `npm` and a `corepack` outputs, and `nodejs` no longer has a `libv8` output.

- support for `ecryptfs` in nixpkgs has been removed.
- `programs.light` was removed from nixpkgs due to the corresponding package being unmaintained upstream. `brightnessctl` and `programs.acpilight` offer replacements.
- The `networking.wireless` module has been security hardened by default: the `wpa_supplicant` daemon now runs under an unprivileged user with restricted access to the system.
As part of these changes, `/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf` has been deprecated: the NixOS-generated configuration file is now linked to `/etc/wpa_supplicant/nixos.conf` and `/etc/wpa_supplicant/imperative.conf` has been added for imperatively configuring `wpa_supplicant` or when using [allowAuxiliaryImperativeNetworks](#opt-networking.wireless.allowAuxiliaryImperativeNetworks).

Whether to enable brightness control with keyboard keys.
This is mainly useful for minimalistic (desktop) environments. You
may want to leave this disabled if you run a feature-rich desktop
environment such as KDE, GNOME or Xfce as those handle the
brightness keys themselves. However, enabling brightness control
with this setting makes the control independent of X, so the keys
work in non-graphical ttys, so you might want to consider using this
instead of the default offered by the desktop environment.
Enabling this will turn on {option}`services.actkbd`.
