 - `programs.goldwarden` has been removed, due to the software not working with newer versions of the Bitwarden and Vaultwarden servers, as well as it being abandoned upstream.
 
+- The default `kops` version is now 1.33.0 and versions 1.30 and older have been dropped. See [Upgrading Kubernetes](https://kops.sigs.k8s.io/tutorial/upgrading-kubernetes/) for instructions on how to update kOps.

 - `Prosody` has been updated to major release 13 which removed some obsoleted modules and brought a couple of major and breaking changes:
   - The `http_files` module is now disabled by default because it now requires `http_files_dir` to be configured.
   - The `vcard_muc` module has been removed and got replaced by the inbuilt `muc_vcard` module.
