Release 21.05

The 21.05 release branch became the stable branch in May, 2021.

Highlights

This release has the following notable changes:

The 'opt-programs.broot.verbs` option is now a list rather than an attribute set. To migrate, move the keys of the attrset into the list items' invocation keys. For example,

programs.broot.verbs = {
  "p" = { execution = ":parent"; };
};

becomes

programs.broot.verbs = [
  {
    invocation = "p";
    execution = ":parent";
  }
];

The programs.mpv.package option has been changed to allow custom derivations. The following configuration is now possible:
```
programs.mpv.package = (pkgs.wrapMpv (pkgs.mpv-unwrapped.override {
  vapoursynthSupport = true;
}) {
  extraMakeWrapperArgs = [
    "--prefix" "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" ":" "${pkgs.vapoursynth-mvtools}/lib/vapoursynth"
  ];
});
```
As a result of this change, programs.mpv.package is no longer the resulting derivation. Use the newly introduced programs.mpv.finalPackage instead.

The programs.rofi.extraConfig option is now an attribute set rather than a string. To migrate, move each line into the attribute set, removing the rofi. prefix from the keys. For example,

programs.rofi.extraConfig = ''
  rofi.show-icons: true
  rofi.modi: drun,emoji,ssh
'';

becomes

programs.rofi.extraConfig = {
  show-icons = true;
  modi = "drun,emoji,ssh";
};

The programs.rofi.theme option now supports defining a theme using an attribute set, the following configuration is now possible:

programs.rofi.theme = let
  # Necessary to avoid quoting non-string values
  inherit (config.lib.formats.rasi) mkLiteral;
in {
   "@import" = "~/.config/rofi/theme.rasi";

  "*" = {
    background-color = mkLiteral "#000000";
    foreground-color = mkLiteral "rgba ( 250, 251, 252, 100 % )";
    border-color = mkLiteral "#FFFFFF";
    width = 512;
  };

  "#textbox-prompt-colon" = {
    expand = false;
    str = ":";
    margin = mkLiteral "0px 0.3em 0em 0em";
    text-color = mkLiteral "@foreground-color";
  };
};

The services.redshift.extraOptions and services.gammastep.extraOptions options were removed in favor of services.redshift.settings and services.gammastep.settings, that are now an attribute set rather than a string. They also support new features not available before, for example:
```
services.redshift = {
  dawnTime = "6:00-7:45";
  duskTime = "18:35-20:15";
  settings = {
    redshift = {
      gamma = 0.8;
      adjustment-method = "randr";
    };

    randr = {
      screen = 0;
    };
  };
};
```
It is recommended to check either redshift.conf.sample or gammastep.conf.sample for the available additional options in each program.
Specifying programs.neomutt.binds.map or programs.neomutt.macros.map as a single string is now deprecated in favor of specfiying it as a list of strings.

The programs.neovim.configure is deprecated in favor of other programs.neovim options; please use the other options at your disposal:

configure.packages.*.opt  -> programs.neovim.plugins = [ { plugin = ...; optional = true; }]
configure.packages.*.start  -> programs.neovim.plugins = [ { plugin = ...; }]
configure.customRC -> programs.neovim.extraConfig

Home Manager now respects the NO_COLOR environment variable as per https://no-color.org/.
Qt module now supports qt.style.name to specify a theme name and qt.style.package to specify a theme package. If you have set qt.platformTheme to gnome, a qt.style.package compatible with both Qt and Gtk is now required to be set. For instance:
```
qt = {
  platformTheme = "gnome";
  style = {
    name = "adwaita-dark";
    package = pkgs.adwaita-qt;
  };
};
```
The library type fontType now has a size attribute in addition to name. For example:
```
font = {
  name = "DejaVu Sans";
  size = 8;
};
```

The programs.htop.settings option is introduced to replace individual options in programs.htop. To migrate, set the htop options directly in programs.htop.settings. For example:

programs.htop = {
  enabled = true;
  settings = {
     color_scheme = 5;
     delay = 15;
     highlight_base_name = 1;
     highlight_megabytes = 1;
     highlight_threads = 1;
  };
};
