- `androidenv.androidPkgs_9_0` has been removed, and replaced with `androidenv.androidPkgs` for a more complete Android SDK including support for Android 9 and later.

- The Amazon disk images (AMIs) have been changed to use a GPT instead of MBR partition table. This change is necessary as we aim to move to a `repart` based image builder in the near future.
If you are booted with an old AMI and want to in-place upgrade to 24.11 you **MUST** set `system.stateVersion = "24.05";` or lower in your configuration. This will ensure that the old MBR
partition table is used and we do not try to install EFI Bootloader entries on your system which will fail. Note that by default `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix` on our AMIs did not set
`system.stateVersion` so you will need to add this line to your configuration manually if you use the on-image configuration. On 24.11 we do now ship with `system.stateVersion = "24.11";` set
to avoid these kind of issues in the future. The AMI boot-mode has also been changed from `legacy-bios` to `uefi-preferred` to ensure that the system boots in UEFI mode if possible.

- `grafana` has been updated to version 11.1. This version doesn't support setting `http_addr` to a hostname anymore, an IP address is expected.

- `deno` has been updated to v2 which has breaking changes. Upstream will be abandoning v1 soon but for now you can use `deno_1` if you are yet to migrate (will be removed prior to cutting a final 24.11 release).
