 - `fetchtorrent`, when using the "rqbit" backend, erroneously started fetching files into a subdirectory in Nixpkgs 24.11.  The original behaviour – which matches the behaviour using the "transmission" backend – has now been restored.  Users reliant on the erroneous behaviour can temporarily maintain it by adding `flatten = false` to the `fetchtorrent` arguments; Nix will produce an evaluation warning for anyone using `backend = "rqbit"` without `flatten = true`.
 
+- `steamcontroller` has been removed due to lack of upstream maintenance. Consider using `sc-controller` instead.

 - `linux` and all other Linux kernel packages have moved all in-tree kernel modules into a new `modules` output.
 
 - `webfontkitgenerator` has been renamed to `webfont-bundler`, following the rename of the upstream project.
