   built for `stdenv.hostPlatform` (i.e. produced by `stdenv.cc`) by evaluating
   `stdenv.buildPlatform.canExecute stdenv.hostPlatform`.
 
+- The `nixpkgs.hostPlatform` and `nixpkgs.buildPlatform` options have been added.
+  These cover and override the `nixpkgs.{system,localSystem,crossSystem}` options.
+
+   - `hostPlatform` is the platform or "`system`" string of the NixOS system
+     described by the configuration.
+   - `buildPlatform` is the platform that is responsible for building the NixOS
+     configuration. It defaults to the `hostPlatform`, for a non-cross
+     build configuration. To cross compile, set `buildPlatform` to a different
+     value.
+
+  The new options convey the same information, but with fewer options, and
+  following the Nixpkgs terminology.
+
+  The existing options `nixpkgs.{system,localSystem,crossSystem}` have not
+  been formally deprecated, to allow for evaluation of the change and to allow
+  for a transition period so that in time the ecosystem can switch without
+  breaking compatibility with any supported NixOS release.
+
+- `nixos-generate-config` now generates configurations that can be built in pure
+  mode. This is achieved by setting the new `nixpkgs.hostPlatform` option.
+
+  You may have to unset the `system` parameter in `lib.nixosSystem`, or similarly
+  remove definitions of the `nixpkgs.{system,localSystem,crossSystem}` options.
+
+  Alternatively, you can remove the `hostPlatform` line and use NixOS like you
+  would in NixOS 22.05 and earlier.
+
 - PHP now defaults to PHP 8.1, updated from 8.0.
 
+- `hardware.nvidia` has a new option `open` that can be used to opt in the opensource version of NVIDIA kernel driver. Note that the driver's support for GeForce and Workstation GPUs is still alpha quality, see [NVIDIA Releases Open-Source GPU Kernel Modules](https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/nvidia-releases-open-source-gpu-kernel-modules/) for the official announcement.

   `lib.systems.parse.isCompatible` still exists, but has changed semantically:
   Architectures with differing endianness modes are *no longer considered compatible*.
 
+- `ngrok` has been upgraded from 2.3.40 to 3.0.4. Please see [the upgrade guide](https://ngrok.com/docs/guides/upgrade-v2-v3)
+  and [changelog](https://ngrok.com/docs/ngrok-agent/changelog). Notably, breaking changes are that the config file format has
+  changed and support for single hypen arguments was dropped.
+
+- `i18n.supportedLocales` is now by default only generated with the locales set in `i18n.defaultLocale` and `i18n.extraLocaleSettings`.
+  This got partially copied over from the minimal profile and reduces the final system size by up to 200MB.
+  If you require all locales installed set the option to ``[ "all" ]``.
+
 - The `isPowerPC` predicate, found on `platform` attrsets (`hostPlatform`, `buildPlatform`, `targetPlatform`, etc) has been removed in order to reduce confusion.  The predicate was was defined such that it matches only the 32-bit big-endian members of the POWER/PowerPC family, despite having a name which would imply a broader set of systems.  If you were using this predicate, you can replace `foo.isPowerPC` with `(with foo; isPower && is32bit && isBigEndian)`.
 
+- `bsp-layout` no longer uses the command `cycle` to switch to other window layouts, as it got replaced by the commands `previous` and `next`.
+
+- The Barco ClickShare driver/client package `pkgs.clickshare-csc1` and the option `programs.clickshare-csc1.enable` have been removed,
+  as it requires `qt4`, which reached its end-of-life 2015 and will no longer be supported by nixpkgs.
+  [According to Barco](https://www.barco.com/de/support/knowledge-base/4380-can-i-use-linux-os-with-clickshare-base-units) many of their base unit models can be used with Google Chrome and the Google Cast extension.
+
 - PHP 7.4 is no longer supported due to upstream not supporting this
   version for the entire lifecycle of the 22.11 release.
 
+- riak package removed along with `services.riak` module, due to lack of maintainer to update the package.
+
 - (Neo)Vim can not be configured with `configure.pathogen` anymore to reduce maintainance burden.
 Use `configure.packages` instead.
 
+- `k3s` no longer supports docker as runtime due to upstream dropping support.

 ## Other Notable Changes {#sec-release-22.11-notable-changes}
 
+- The `xplr` package has been updated from 0.18.0 to 0.19.0, which brings some breaking changes. See the [upstream release notes](https://github.com/sayanarijit/xplr/releases/tag/v0.19.0) for more details.
+
 - A new module was added for the Saleae Logic device family, providing the options `hardware.saleae-logic.enable` and `hardware.saleae-logic.package`.
 
 - Matrix Synapse now requires entries in the `state_group_edges` table to be unique, in order to prevent accidentally introducing duplicate information (for example, because a database backup was restored multiple times). If your Synapse database already has duplicate rows in this table, this could fail with an error and require manual remediation.
 
 - memtest86+ was updated from 5.00-coreboot-002 to 6.00-beta2. It is now the upstream version from https://www.memtest.org/, as coreboot's fork is no longer available.
 
+- There is a new module for the `thunar` program (the Xfce file manager), which depends on the `xfconf` dbus service, and also has a dbus service and a systemd unit. The option `services.xserver.desktopManager.xfce.thunarPlugins` has been renamed to `programs.thunar.plugins`, and in a future release it may be removed.
