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).
