- On flake-based NixOS configurations using `nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem`, NixOS will automatically set `NIX_PATH` and the system-wide flake registry (`/etc/nix/registry.json`) to point `<nixpkgs>` and the unqualified flake path `nixpkgs` to the version of nixpkgs used to build the system.
This makes `nix run nixpkgs#hello` and `nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A hello` work out of the box with no added configuration, reusing dependencies already on the system.
This may be undesirable if nix commands are not going to be run on the built system since it adds nixpkgs to the system closure. For such closure-size-constrained non-interactive systems, this setting should be disabled.
To disable this, set [nixpkgs.flake.setNixPath](#opt-nixpkgs.flake.setNixPath) and [nixpkgs.flake.setFlakeRegistry](#opt-nixpkgs.flake.setFlakeRegistry) to false.
- Lomiri (formerly known as Unity8) desktop mode, using Mir 2.x to function as a Wayland compositor, is now available and can be installed with `services.desktopManager.lomiri.enable = true`. Note that some core applications, services and indicators have yet to be packaged, and some functions may remain incomplete, but the base experience should be there.
- To properly support panel plugins built with Wayland (in-process) support, we are introducing `services.xserver.desktopManager.mate.extraPanelApplets` option, please use that for installing panel applets.
- Similarly, please use `services.xserver.desktopManager.mate.extraCajaExtensions` option for installing Caja extensions.
- To use the Wayland session, enable `services.xserver.desktopManager.mate.enableWaylandSession`. This is opt-in for now as it is in early stage and introduces a new set of Wayfire closure. Due to [known issues with LightDM](https://github.com/canonical/lightdm/issues/63), we suggest using SDDM for display manager.
- Plasma 6 is now available and can be installed with `services.xserver.desktopManager.plasma6.enable = true;`. Plasma 5 will likely be deprecated in the next release (24.11). Note that Plasma 6 runs as Wayland by default, and the X11 session needs to be explicitly selected if necessary.

- [your_spotify](https://github.com/Yooooomi/your_spotify), a self hosted Spotify tracking dashboard. Available as [services.your_spotify](#opt-services.your_spotify.enable)
-`akkoma` now requires explicitly setting the base URL for uploaded media (`settings."Pleroma.Upload".base_url`), as well as for the media proxy if enabled (`settings."Media"`).
This is recommended to be a separate (sub)domain to the one Akkoma is hosted at.
See [here](https://meta.akkoma.dev/t/akkoma-stable-2024-03-securer-i-barely-know-her/681#explicit-upload-and-media-proxy-domains-5) for more details.
-`appimageTools.wrapAppImage` now creates the binary at `$out/bin/${pname}` rather than `$out/bin/${pname}-${version}`, which will break downstream workarounds.
To make the `azure-cli` immutable and prevent clashes in case `azure-cli` is also installed via other package managers, some configuration files were moved into the derivation.
This can be disabled by overriding `withImmutableConfig = false` when building `azure-cli`.
-`boot.supportedFilesystems` and `boot.initrd.supportedFilesystems` are now attribute sets instead of lists. Assignment from lists as done previously is still supported, but checking whether a filesystem is enabled must now by done using `supportedFilesystems.fs or false` instead of using `lib.elem "fs" supportedFilesystems` as was done previously.
-`buildGoModule` now throws an error when `vendorHash` is not specified. `vendorSha256`, deprecated in Nixpkgs 23.11, is now ignored and is no longer a `vendorHash` alias.
-`chromium` and `ungoogled-chromium` had a long standing issue regarding Widevine DRM handling in nixpkgs fixed.
`chromium` now no longer automatically downloads Widevine when encountering DRM protected content.
To be able to play DRM protected content in `chromium` now, you have to explicitly opt-in as originally intended using `chromium.override { enableWideVine = true; }`.
-`craftos-pc` package has been updated to v2.8, which includes [breaking changes](https://github.com/MCJack123/craftos2/releases/tag/v2.8).
- Files are now handled in binary mode; this could break programs with embedded UTF-8 characters.
- The ROM was updated to match ComputerCraft version v1.109.2.
- The bundled Lua was updated to Lua v5.2, which includes breaking changes. See the [Lua manual](https://www.lua.org/manual/5.2/manual.html#8) for more information.
- The WebSocket API [was rewritten](https://github.com/MCJack123/craftos2/issues/337), which introduced breaking changes.
-`cryptsetup` has been upgraded from 2.6.1 to 2.7.0. Cryptsetup is a critical component enabling LUKS-based (but not only) full disk encryption.
Take the time to review [the release notes](https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup/-/raw/v2.7.0/docs/v2.7.0-ReleaseNotes).
One of the highlights is that it is now possible to use hardware OPAL-based encryption of your disk with `cryptsetup`. It has a lot of caveats, see the above notes for the full details.
-`crystal` package has been updated to 1.11.x, which has some breaking changes.
Refer to crystal's changelog for more information. ([v1.10](https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#1100-2023-10-09), [v1.11](https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#1110-2024-01-08))
-`cudaPackages.autoAddOpenGLRunpathHook` and `cudaPackages.autoAddDriverRunpath` have been deprecated for `pkgs.autoAddDriverRunpath`. Functionality has not changed, but the setuphook has been renamed and moved to the top-level package scope.
-`cudaPackages.nsight_systems` now has most vendored third party libraries removed, though we now only ship it for `cudaPackages_11_8` and later due to outdated dependencies. Users comfortable with the vendored dependencies may use `overrideAttrs` to amend the `postPatch` phase and the `meta.broken` correspondingly. Alternatively, one could package the deprecated `boost170` locally, as required for `cudaPackages_11_4.nsight_systems`.
-`cudaPackages.autoFixElfFiles` has been deprecated for `pkgs.autoFixElfFiles`. Functionality has not changed, but the setuphook has been renamed and moved to the top-level package scope.
-`davfs2`' `services.davfs2.extraConfig` setting has been deprecated and converted to the free-form type option named `services.davfs2.settings` according to RFC42.
-`dwarf-fortress` has been updated to version 50, and its derivations continue to menace with spikes of Nix and bash. Version 50 is identical to the version on Steam, but without the paid elements like tilepacks.
dfhack and Dwarf Therapist still work, and older versions are still packaged in case you'd like to roll back. Note that DF 50 saves will not be compatible with DF 0.47 and earlier.
See [Bay 12 Games](http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/) for more details on what's new in Dwarf Fortress.
- Ruby plugin support has been disabled in DFHack. Many of the Ruby plugins have been converted to Lua, and support was removed upstream due to frequent crashes.
-`erlang_node_short_name`, `erlang_node_name`, `port` and `options` configuration parameters are gone, and have been replaced with an `environment` parameter.
Use the appropriate [environment variables](https://hexdocs.pm/livebook/readme.html#environment-variables) inside `environment` to configure the service instead.
-`firefox-devedition`, `firefox-beta`, `firefox-esr` executable file names for now match their package names, which is consistent with the `firefox-*-bin` packages. The desktop entries are also updated so that you can have multiple editions of firefox in your app launcher.
-`gitea` has been updated to 1.21, which introduces several breaking changes, including:
- Custom themes and other assets that were previously stored in `custom/public/*` now belong in `custom/public/assets/*`
- New instances of Gitea using MySQL now ignore the `[database].CHARSET` config option and always use the `utf8mb4` charset, existing instances should migrate via the `gitea doctor convert` CLI command.
-`git-town` was updated from version 11 to 13. See the [changelog](https://github.com/git-town/git-town/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#1300-2024-03-22) for breaking changes.
-`gonic` has been updated to v0.16.4. Config now requires `playlists-path` to be set. See the rest of the [v0.16.0 release notes](https://github.com/sentriz/gonic/releases/tag/v0.16.0) for more details.
-`go-ethereum` has been updated to v1.14.3. Geth v1.14.0 introduced a brand new live-tracing feature,
which required a number of breaking internal API changes. If you had your own native tracers implemented before this change,
the [changelog](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/blob/master/core/tracing/CHANGELOG.md) contains the necessary steps needed to update your old code for the new APIs.
Geth v1.14.0 drops support for running pre-merge networks ([#29169](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/29169)).
It also stops automatically constructing the pending block ([#28623](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/28623)),
removes support for filtering pending logs, switched to using Go v1.22 by default (#28946), which means we've dropped support for Go v1.20.
See [the 1.14.0 release notes](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/releases/tag/v1.14.0) for more details.
-`hare` may now be cross-compiled. For that to work, however, `haredoc` needed to stop being built together with it. Thus, the latter is now its own package with the name of `haredoc`.
-`himalaya` has been updated to v1.0.0-beta.4, which introduces breaking changes. Check out the [release note](https://github.com/soywod/himalaya/releases/tag/v1.0.0-beta.4) for details.
-`halloy` has been updated to 2024.5, which introduced a breaking change by switching the config format from YAML to TOML. See https://github.com/squidowl/halloy/releases/tag/2024.5 for details.
-`icu` no longer includes `install-sh` and `mkinstalldirs` in the shared folder.
-`idris2` was updated to v0.7.0. This version introduces breaking changes. Check out the [changelog](https://github.com/idris-lang/Idris2/blob/v0.7.0/CHANGELOG.md#v070) for details.
-`inetutils` now has a lower priority to avoid shadowing the commonly used `util-linux`. If one wishes to restore the default priority, simply use `lib.setPrio 5 inetutils` or override with `meta.priority = 5`.
-`jdt-language-server` package now uses upstream's provided python wrapper instead of our own custom wrapper. This results in the following breaking and notable changes:
- The main binary for the package is now named `jdtls` instead of `jdt-language-server`, equivalent to what most editors expect the binary to be named.
-`julia` environments can now be built with arbitrary packages from the ecosystem using the `.withPackages` function. For example: `julia.withPackages ["Plots"]`.
-`k3s` has been updated to version [v1.30](https://github.com/k3s-io/k3s/releases/tag/v1.30.0%2Bk3s1), previous supported versions are available under release specific names (e.g. k3s_1_27, k3s_1_28, and k3s_1_29) and present to help you migrate to the latest supported version. See [changelog and upgrade notes](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/CHANGELOG/CHANGELOG-1.30.md#changelog-since-v1290) for more information.
-`kanata` package has been updated to v1.6.1, which includes breaking changes. Check out the changelog of [v1.5.0](https://github.com/jtroo/kanata/releases/tag/v1.5.0) and [v1.6.0](https://github.com/jtroo/kanata/releases/tag/v1.6.0) for details.
-`linuxPackages_testing_bcachefs` is now fully deprecated by `linuxPackages_latest`, and is therefore no longer available.
-`livebook` package is now built as a `mix release` instead of an `escript`.
This means that configuration now has to be done using [environment variables](https://hexdocs.pm/livebook/readme.html#environment-variables) instead of command line arguments.
This has the further implication that the `livebook` service configuration has changed:
-`lua` interpreters default LUA_PATH and LUA_CPATH are not overriden by nixpkgs
anymore, we patch LUA_ROOT instead which is more respectful to upstream.
-`luarocks-packages-updater` has changed the .csv format used to define lua packages updates: `src` (URL towards a git repository) has now become `rockspec` (URL towards a rockspec) to remove ambiguity regarding which rockspec to use and simplify implementation.
Setting `environment.etc."iproute2/{CONFIG_FILE_NAME}".text` will override the whole configuration file instead of appending it to the upstream configuration file.
-`nextcloud26` has been removed since it's not maintained anymore by upstream. The latest available version of Nextcloud is now v29 (available as `pkgs.nextcloud29`). The installation logic is as follows:
- Please note that an upgrade from v27 (or older) to v29 directly is not possible. Please upgrade to `nextcloud28` (or earlier) first. Nextcloud prohibits skipping major versions while upgrading. You can upgrade by declaring [`services.nextcloud.package = pkgs.nextcloud28;`](options.html#opt-services.nextcloud.package).
-`nitter` requires a `guest_accounts.jsonl` to be provided as a path or loaded into the default location at `/var/lib/nitter/guest_accounts.jsonl`. See [Guest Account Branch Deployment](https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Guest-Account-Branch-Deployment) for details.
-`nixVersions.unstable` was removed. Instead the following attributes are provided:
-`nixVersions.git` which tracks the latest Nix master and is roughly updated once a week. This is intended to enable people to easily test unreleased changes of Nix to catch regressions earlier.
-`nixVersions.latest` which points to the latest Nix version packaged in nixpkgs.
-`nomad` has been updated - note that HashiCorp recommends updating one minor version at a time. Please check [their upgrade guide](https://developer.hashicorp.com/nomad/docs/upgrade) for information on safely updating clusters and potential breaking changes.
-`nvtop` family of packages was reorganized into nested attrset. `nvtop` has been renamed to `nvtopPackages.full`, and all `nvtop-{amd,nvidia,intel,msm}` packages are now named as `nvtopPackages.{amd,nvidia,intel,msm}`.
-`openssh`, `openssh_hpn` and `openssh_gssapi` are now compiled without support for the DSA signature algorithm as it is being deprecated upstream. Users still relying on DSA keys should consider upgrading
to another signature algorithm. However, for the time being it is possible to restore DSA key support using `override` to set `dsaKeysSupport = true`.
-`optparse-bash` is now dropped due to upstream inactivity. Alternatives available in Nixpkgs include [`argc`](https://github.com/sigoden/argc), [`argbash`](https://github.com/matejak/argbash), [`bashly`](https://github.com/DannyBen/bashly) and [`gum`](https://github.com/charmbracelet/gum), to name a few.
-`paperless`' `services.paperless.extraConfig` setting has been removed and converted to the free-form type and option named `services.paperless.settings`.
-`pdns` was updated to version [v4.9.x](https://doc.powerdns.com/authoritative/changelog/4.9.html), which introduces breaking changes. Check out the [Upgrade Notes](https://doc.powerdns.com/authoritative/upgrading.html#to-4-9-0) for details.
-`percona-server` now follows [the same two-fold release cycle](https://www.percona.com/blog/lts-and-innovation-releases-for-percona-server-for-mysql/) as Oracle MySQL and provides a *Long-Term-Support (LTS)* in parallel with a continuous-delivery *Innovation* release. `percona-server` defaults to `percona-server_lts`, will be backed by the same release branch throughout the lifetime of this stable NixOS release, and is still available under the versioned attribute `percona-server_8_0`.
The `percona-server_innovation` releases however have support periods shorter than the lifetime of this NixOS release and will continuously be updated to newer Percona releases. Note that Oracle considers the *Innovation* releases to be production-grade, but each release might include backwards-incompatible changes, even in its on-disk format.
The same release scheme is applied to the supporting `percona-xtrabackup` tool as well.
-`pipewire` and `wireplumber` modules have removed support for using
`environment.etc."pipewire/..."` and `environment.etc."wireplumber/..."`.
Use `services.pipewire.extraConfig` or `services.pipewire.configPackages` for PipeWire and
`services.pipewire.wireplumber.configPackages` for WirePlumber instead."
-`power.ups` now generates `upsd.conf`, `upsd.users` and `upsmon.conf` automatically from a set of new configuration options. This breaks compatibility with existing `power.ups` setups where these files were created manually. Back up these files before upgrading NixOS.
-`programs.nix-ld.libraries` no longer sets `baseLibraries` via the option's default but in config and now merges any additional libraries with the default ones.
This means that `lib.mkForce` must be used to clear the list of default libraries.
-`screen`'s module has been cleaned, and will now require you to set `programs.screen.enable` in order to populate `screenrc` and add the program to the environment.
-`security.pam.enableSSHAgentAuth` now requires `services.openssh.authorizedKeysFiles` to be non-empty,
which is the case when `services.openssh.enable` is true. Previously, `pam_ssh_agent_auth` silently failed to work.
-`security.pam.enableSSHAgentAuth` was replaced by the `sshAgentAuth` attrset, and **only**
`authorized_keys` files listed in [`sshAgentAuth.authorizedKeysFiles`] are trusted,
defaulting to `/etc/ssh/authorized_keys.d/%u`.
::: {.warning}
Users of {manpage}`pam_ssh_agent_auth(8)` must take care that the pubkeys they use (for instance with `sudo`)
are listed in [`sshAgentAuth.authorizedKeysFiles`].
:::
::: {.note}
Previously, all `services.openssh.authorizedKeysFiles` were trusted, including `~/.ssh/authorized_keys`,
which results in an **insecure** configuration; see [#31611](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/31611).
-`services.archisteamfarm` no longer uses the abbreviation `asf` for its state directory (`/var/lib/asf`), user and group (both `asf`). Instead the long name `archisteamfarm` is used.
Configurations with `system.stateVersion` 23.11 or earlier, default to the old stateDirectory until the 24.11 release and must either set the option explicitly or move the data to the new directory.
-`services.aria2.rpcSecret` has been replaced with `services.aria2.rpcSecretFile`.
This was done so that secrets aren't stored in the world-readable nix store.
To migrate, you will have to create a file with the same exact string, and change
your module options to point to that file. For example, `services.aria2.rpcSecret =
where the file `secret_file` contains the string `mysecret`.
-`services.avahi.nssmdns` got split into `services.avahi.nssmdns4` and `services.avahi.nssmdns6` which enable the mDNS NSS switch for IPv4 and IPv6 respectively.
Since most mDNS responders only register IPv4 addresses, most users want to keep the IPv6 support disabled to avoid long timeouts.
-`services.frp.settings` now generates the frp configuration file in TOML format as [recommended by upstream](https://github.com/fatedier/frp#configuration-files), instead of the legacy INI format. This has also introduced other changes in the configuration file structure and options.
- The `settings.common` section in the configuration is no longer valid and all the options form inside it now goes directly under `settings`.
- The `_` separating words in the configuration options is removed so the options are now in camel case. For example: `server_addr` becomes `serverAddr`, `server_port` becomes `serverPort` etc.
- Proxies are now defined with a new option `settings.proxies` which takes a list of proxies.
- Consult the [upstream documentation](https://github.com/fatedier/frp#example-usage) for more details on the changes.
-`services.homepage-dashboard` now takes its configuration using native Nix expressions, rather than dumping templated configurations into `/var/lib/homepage-dashboard` where they were previously managed manually. There are now new options which allow the configuration of bookmarks, services, widgets and custom CSS/JS natively in Nix.
-`services.invidious.settings.db.user`, the default database username has changed from `kemal` to `invidious`. Setups involving an externally-provisioned database (i.e. `services.invidious.database.createLocally == false`) should adjust their configuration accordingly. The old `kemal` user will not be removed automatically even when the database is provisioned automatically.(https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/265857).
-`services.smokeping` now has an option `webService`. When enabled, smokeping is now served via nginx instead of thttpd. This change brings the following consequences:
- The default port for smokeping is now the nginx default port 80 instead of 8081.
- The option `services.smokeping.port` has been removed. To customize the port, use `services.nginx.virtualHosts.smokeping.listen.*.port`.
-`services.neo4j.allowUpgrade` was removed and no longer has any effect. Neo4j 5 supports automatic rolling upgrades.
-`services.nextcloud` has the following options moved into [`services.nextcloud.settings`](#opt-services.nextcloud.settings) and renamed to match the name from Nextcloud's `config.php`:
-`services.pgbouncer` now has systemd support enabled and will log to journald. The default setting for `services.pgbouncer.logFile` is now `null` to disable logging to a separate log file.
-`services.redis.vmOverCommit` now defaults to `true` and no longer enforces Transparent Hugepages (THP) to be disabled. Redis only works with THP configured to `madvise` which is the kernel's default.
-`services.resolved.fallbackDns` can now be used to disable the upstream fallback servers entirely by setting it to an empty list. To get the previous behaviour of the upstream defaults set it to null, the new default, instead.
-`services.vikunja.setupNginx` setting has been removed. Users now need to setup the webserver configuration on their own with a proxy pass to the vikunja service.
-`spark2014` has been renamed to `gnatprove`. A version of `gnatprove` matching different GNAT versions is available from the different `gnatPackages` sets.
-`stalwart-mail` has been updated to v0.5.3, which includes [breaking changes](https://github.com/stalwartlabs/mail-server/blob/v0.5.3/UPGRADING.md).
-`system.etc.overlay.enable` option was added. If enabled, `/etc` is
mounted via an overlayfs instead of being created by a custom perl script.
-`system.forbiddenDependenciesRegex` has been renamed to `system.forbiddenDependenciesRegexes` and now has the type of `listOf string` instead of `string` to accept multiple regexes.
- Raise ManagedOOMMemoryPressureLimit from 50% to 80%. This should make systemd-oomd kill things less often, and fix issues like [this](https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation/issue/358).
- Expand the memory pressure policy to system.slice, user-.slice, and all user owned slices. Reference: [commit](https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/systemd/c/7665e1796f915dedbf8e014f0a78f4f576d609bb).
-`unifiLTS`, `unifi5` and `unifi6` have been removed, as they require MongoDB versions which are end-of-life. All these versions can be upgraded to `unifi7` directly.
-`virtualisation.docker.enableNvidia` and `virtualisation.podman.enableNvidia` options are deprecated. `hardware.nvidia-container-toolkit.enable` should be used instead. This option will expose GPUs on containers with the `--device` CLI option. This is supported by Docker 25, Podman 3.2.0 and Singularity 4. Any container runtime that supports the CDI specification will take advantage of this feature.
-`virtialisation.incus` now defaults to the newly-added `incus-lts` release (v6.0.x). Users who wish to continue using the non-LTS release will need to set `virtualisation.incus.package = pkgs.incus`. Stable release users are encouraged to stay on the LTS release as non-LTS releases will by default not be backported.
- [watchdogd](https://troglobit.com/projects/watchdogd/), a system and process supervisor using watchdog timers. Available as [services.watchdogd](#opt-services.watchdogd.enable).
-`wpaperd` has been updated to 1.0.1, which has a breaking change: previous version 0.3.0 had 2 different configuration files, one for wpaperd and one for the wallpapers. Remove the former and move the latter (`wallpaper.toml`) to `config.toml`.
-`writeReferencesToFile` is deprecated in favour of the new trivial build helper `writeClosure`. The latter accepts a list of paths and has an unambiguous name and cleaner implementation.
-`xxd` has been moved from `vim` default output to its own output to reduce closure size. The canonical way to reference it across all platforms is `unixtools.xxd`.
-`youtrack` is bumped to 2023.3. The update is not performed automatically, it requires manual interaction. See the YouTrack section in the manual for details.
- Ada packages (libraries and tools) have been moved into the `gnatPackages` scope. `gnatPackages` uses the default GNAT compiler, `gnat12Packages` and `gnat13Packages` use the respective matching compiler version.
- Paths provided as `restartTriggers` and `reloadTriggers` for systemd units will now be copied into the nix store to make the behavior consistent.
Previously, `restartTriggers = [ ./config.txt ]`, if defined in a flake, would trigger a restart when any part of the flake changed; and if not defined in a flake, would never trigger a restart even if the contents of `config.txt` changed.
- The configuration format for `services.prometheus.exporters.snmp` changed with release 0.23.0.
The module now includes an optional config check, that is enabled by default, to make the change obvious before any deployment.
More information about the configuration syntax change is available in the [upstream repository](https://github.com/prometheus/snmp_exporter/blob/b75fc6b839ee3f3ccbee68bee55f1ae99555084a/auth-split-migration.md).
-`addDriverRunpath` has been added to facilitate the deprecation of the old `addOpenGLRunpath` setuphook. This change is motivated by the evolution of the setuphook to include all hardware acceleration.
-`boot.kernel.sysctl."net.core.wmem_max"` changed from a string to an integer because of the addition of a custom merge option (taking the highest value defined to avoid conflicts between 2 services trying to set that value), just as `boot.kernel.sysctl."net.core.rmem_max"` since 22.11.
-`boot.loader.systemd-boot.xbootldrMountPoint` is a new option for setting up a separate [XBOOTLDR partition](https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/boot_loader_specification/) to store boot files. Useful on systems with a small EFI System partition that cannot be easily repartitioned.
-`boot.loader.systemd-boot` will now verify that `efiSysMountPoint` (and `xbootldrMountPoint` if configured) are mounted partitions.
-`castopod` has some migration actions to be taken in case of a S3 setup. Some new features may also need some manual migration actions. See [https://code.castopod.org/adaures/castopod/-/releases](https://code.castopod.org/adaures/castopod/-/releases) for more informations.
-`cinnamon` has been updated to 6.0. Please beware that the [Wayland session](https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=4591) is still experimental in this release and could potentially [affect Xorg sessions](https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=4639). We suggest a reboot when switching between sessions.
-`documentation.man.mandoc` now by default uses `MANPATH` to set the directories where mandoc will search for manual pages.
This enables mandoc to find manual pages in Nix profiles. To set the manual search paths via the `mandoc.conf` configuration file like before, use `documentation.man.mandoc.settings.manpath` instead.
-`drbd` out-of-tree Linux kernel driver has been added in version 9.2.7. With it the DRBD 9.x features can be used instead of the 8.x features provided by the 8.4.11 in-tree driver.
-`garage` has been updated to v1.x.x. Users should read the [upstream release notes](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage/releases/tag/v1.0.0) and follow the documentation when changing over their `services.garage.package` and performing this manual upgrade.
-`hardware.pulseaudio` module now sets permission of pulse user home directory to 755 when running in "systemWide" mode. It fixes [issue 114399](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/114399).
-`kavita` has been updated to 0.8.0, requiring a manual forced library scan on all libraries for migration. Refer to upstream's [release notes](https://github.com/Kareadita/Kavita/releases/tag/v0.8.0) for details.
-`krb5` module has been rewritten and moved to `security.krb5`, moving all options but `security.krb5.enable` and `security.krb5.package` into `security.krb5.settings`.
-`libjxl` version bumped from 0.8.2 to 0.9.1 [dropped support for the butteraugli API](https://github.com/libjxl/libjxl/pull/2576). You will no longer be able to set `enableButteraugli` on `libaom`.
-`lxd` has been upgraded to v5.21.x, an LTS release. The LTS release is now the only supported LXD release. Users are encouraged to [migrate to Incus](https://linuxcontainers.org/incus/docs/main/howto/server_migrate_lxd/) for better support on NixOS.
- [`matrix-synapse`](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/) homeserver module now supports configuring UNIX domain socket [`listeners`](#opt-services.matrix-synapse.settings.listeners) through the `path` option.
The default replication worker on the main instance has been migrated away from TCP sockets to UNIX domain sockets.
-`mockgen` has changed to the [go.uber.org/mock](https://github.com/uber-go/mock) fork because [the original repository is no longer maintained](https://github.com/golang/mock#gomock).
-`nextcloud-setup.service` no longer changes the group of each file & directory inside `/var/lib/nextcloud/{config,data,store-apps}` if one of these directories has the wrong owner group. This was part of transitioning the group used for `/var/lib/nextcloud`, but isn't necessary anymore.
-`pkgsExtraHardening`, a new top-level package set, was added. This is a set of packages built with stricter hardening flags - those that have not yet received enough testing to be applied universally, those that are more likely to cause build failures or those that have drawbacks to their use (e.g. performance or required hardware features).
- [`portunus`](https://github.com/majewsky/portunus) has been updated to major version 2.
This version of Portunus supports strong password hashes, but the legacy hash SHA-256 is also still supported to ensure a smooth migration of existing user accounts.
After upgrading, follow the instructions on the [upstream release notes](https://github.com/majewsky/portunus/releases/tag/v2.0.0) to upgrade all user accounts to strong password hashes.
Support for weak password hashes will be removed in NixOS 24.11.
-`qt6.qtmultimedia` has changed its default backend to `QT_MEDIA_BACKEND=ffmpeg` (previously `gstreamer` on Linux or `darwin` on macOS).
The previous native backends remain available but are now minimally maintained. Refer to [upstream documentation](https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtmultimedia-index.html#ffmpeg-as-the-default-backend) for further details about each platform.
-`services.github-runner` module has been removed. To configure a single GitHub Actions Runner refer to `services.github-runners.*`. Note that this will trigger a new runner registration.
-`services.networkmanager.extraConfig` was renamed to `services.networkmanager.settings` and was changed to use the ini type instead of using a multiline string.
-`services.postgresql.extraPlugins` changed its type from just a list of packages to also a function that returns such a list.
For example a config line like ``services.postgresql.extraPlugins = with pkgs.postgresql_11.pkgs; [ postgis ];`` is recommended to be changed to ``services.postgresql.extraPlugins = ps: with ps; [ postgis ];``;
-`services.soju` now has a wrapper for the `sojuctl` command, pointed at the service config file. It also has the new option `adminSocket.enable`, which creates a unix admin socket at `/run/soju/admin`.
-`services.stalwart-mail` uses the legacy version 0.6.X as default because newer `stalwart-mail` versions require a [manual upgrade process](https://github.com/stalwartlabs/mail-server/blob/main/UPGRADING.md). Change [`services.stalwart-mail.package`](#opt-services.stalwart-mail.package) to `pkgs.stalwart-mail` if you wish to switch to the new version.
-`services.teeworlds` module now has a wealth of configuration options, including a new `package` option.
-`services.xserver.desktopManager.budgie` installs `gnome.gnome-terminal` by default (instead of `mate.mate-terminal`).
-`services.zfs.zed.enableMail` now uses the global `sendmail` wrapper defined by an email module
(such as msmtp or Postfix). It no longer requires using a special ZFS build with email support.
-`sonarr` version bumped to from 3.0.10 to 4.0.3. Consequently existing config database files will be upgraded automatically, but note that some old apparently-working configs [might actually be corrupt and fail to upgrade cleanly](https://forums.sonarr.tv/t/sonarr-v4-released/33089).
-`stdenv`: The `--replace` flag in `substitute`, `substituteInPlace`, `substituteAll`, `substituteAllStream`, and `substituteStream` is now deprecated if favor of the new `--replace-fail`, `--replace-warn` and `--replace-quiet`. The deprecated `--replace` equates to `--replace-warn`.
- A stdenv's default set of hardening flags can now be set via its `bintools-wrapper`'s `defaultHardeningFlags` argument. A convenient stdenv adapter, `withDefaultHardeningFlags`, can be used to override an existing stdenv's `defaultHardeningFlags`.
