    - custom OVMF package (e.g.: `pkgs.OVMFFull` with HTTP, CSM and Secure Boot support) ([`virtualisation.libvirtd.qemu.ovmf.package`](options.html#opt-virtualisation.libvirtd.qemu.ovmf.package)).

- The `cawbird` Twitter client now uses its own API keys to count as different application than upstream builds. This is done to evade application-level rate limiting. While existing accounts continue to work, users may want to remove and re-register their account in the client to enjoy a better user experience and benefit from this change.

- A new option `services.prometheus.enableReload` has been added which can be enabled to reload the prometheus service when its config file changes instead of restarting.

- The option `services.prometheus.environmentFile` has been removed since it was causing [issues](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/126083) and Prometheus now has native support for secret files, i.e. `basic_auth.password_file` and `authorization.credentials_file`.

- Dokuwiki now supports caddy! However
  - the nginx option has been removed, in the new configuration, please use the `dokuwiki.webserver = "nginx"` instead.
  - The "${hostname}" option has been deprecated, please use `dokuwiki.sites = [ "${hostname}" ]` instead

- The [services.unifi](options.html#opt-services.unifi.enable) module has been reworked, solving a number of issues. This leads to several user facing changes:
  - The `services.unifi.dataDir` option is removed and the data is now always located under `/var/lib/unifi/data`. This is done to make better use of systemd state direcotiry and thus making the service restart more reliable.
  - The unifi logs can now be found under: `/var/log/unifi` instead of `/var/lib/unifi/logs`.
  - The unifi run directory can now be found under: `/run/unifi` instead of `/var/lib/unifi/run`.

- `security.pam.services.<name>.makeHomeDir` now uses `umask=0077` instead of `umask=0022` when creating the home directory.

- Loki has had another release. Some default values have been changed for the configuration and some configuration options have been renamed. For more details, please check [the upgrade guide](https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest/upgrading/#240).

- `julia` now refers to `julia-stable` instead of `julia-lts`. In practice this means it has been upgraded from `1.0.4` to `1.5.4`.

- RetroArch has been upgraded from version `1.8.5` to `1.9.13.2`. Since the previous release was quite old, if you're having issues after the upgrade, please delete your `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/retroarch/retroarch.cfg` file.

- hydrus has been upgraded from version `438` to `463`. Since upgrading between releases this old is advised against, be sure to have a backup of your data before upgrading. For details, see [the hydrus manual](https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/help/getting_started_installing.html#big_updates).

- More jdk and jre versions are now exposed via `java-packages.compiler`.

- The sets `haskell.packages` and `haskell.compiler` now contain for every ghc version an attribute with the minor version dropped. E.g. for `ghc8107` there also now exists `ghc810`. Those attributes point to the same compilers and packagesets but have the advantage that e.g. `ghc92` stays stable when we update from `ghc925` to `ghc926`.
Title: Updates to Libvirtd, Cawbird, Prometheus, Dokuwiki, Unifi, PAM, Loki, Julia, RetroArch, Hydrus, Java, and Haskell
Summary
This section summarizes updates to various modules and packages. Libvirtd allows custom OVMF packages. Cawbird uses its own API keys to avoid rate limiting. Prometheus gains `enableReload` and removes `environmentFile`, recommending native secret file usage. Dokuwiki supports Caddy, replacing the nginx option with `dokuwiki.webserver = "nginx"` and deprecating the "${hostname}" option. The Unifi module is reworked, changing data directory, log location, and run directory. PAM's `makeHomeDir` uses `umask=0077`. Loki has a new release with configuration changes; users should consult the upgrade guide. Julia now refers to `julia-stable` (upgraded from 1.0.4 to 1.5.4). RetroArch is upgraded, and users experiencing issues should delete their config file. Hydrus is upgraded, advising a backup before upgrading. More JDK and JRE versions are exposed via `java-packages.compiler`. Haskell packagesets and compilers now include attributes with the minor version dropped for stability.
