 - `fail2ban` has been updated to 1.0.2, which has a few breaking changes compared to 0.11.2 ([changelog for 1.0.1](https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/blob/1.0.1/ChangeLog), [changelog for 1.0.2](https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/blob/1.0.2/ChangeLog))
 
+- `albert` has been updated from 0.17.6 to 0.20.13, and 0.18.0 changed the config format and many plugins ([changelog for 0.18.0](https://github.com/albertlauncher/albert/blob/v0.18.0/CHANGELOG.md))

 - Calling `makeSetupHook` without passing a `name` argument is deprecated.
 
 - `lib.systems.examples.ghcjs` and consequently `pkgsCross.ghcjs` now use the target triplet `javascript-unknown-ghcjs` instead of `js-unknown-ghcjs`. This has been done to match an [upstream decision](https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/commit/6636b670233522f01d002c9b97827d00289dbf5c) to follow Cabal's platform naming more closely. Nixpkgs will also reject `js` as an architecture name.
