- PowerDNS Recursor has been updated to version 5.1.2, which comes with a new YAML configuration format (`recursor.yml`)
and deprecates the previous format (`recursor.conf`). Accordingly, the NixOS option `services.pdns-recursor.settings`
has been renamed to [old-settings](#opt-services.pdns-recursor.old-settings) and will be provided for backward compatibility
until the next NixOS release. Users are asked to migrate their settings to the new [yaml-settings](#opt-services.pdns-recursor.old-settings)

- `pdns` has been updated to version [v5.0.x](https://doc.powerdns.com/authoritative/changelog/5.0.html), which introduces breaking changes. Check out the [Upgrade Notes](https://doc.powerdns.com/authoritative/upgrading.html#to-5-0-0) for details.
- In the PowerDNS Recursor module, following the deprecation period started with NixOS 25.05, the option {option}`services.pdns-recursor.old-settings` has been removed and {option}`services.pdns-recursor.yaml-settings` consequently renamed to [](#opt-services.pdns-recursor.settings).
- `services.angrr` now uses TOML for configuration. Define policies with `services.angrr.settings` (generate TOML file) or point to a file using `services.angrr.configFile`. The legacy options `services.angrr.period`, `services.angrr.ownedOnly`, and `services.angrr.removeRoot` have been removed. See `man 5 angrr` and the description of `services.angrr.settings` options for examples and details.
- `services.pingvin-share` has been removed as the `pingvin-share.backend` package was broken and the project was archived upstream.
