Nixpkgs 25.11 ("Xantusia", 2025.11/??)

Highlights

  • The initial work to support native compilation on LoongArch64 has completed, with further changes currently in preparation. In accordance with the Software Development and Build Convention for LoongArch Architectures, this release sets the default march level to la64v1.0, covering the desktop and server processors of 3X5000 and newer series. However, embedded chips without LSX (Loongson SIMD eXtension), such as 2K0300 SoC, are not supported. pkgsCross.loongarch64-linux-embedded can be used to build software and systems for these platforms.

  • The official Nix formatter nixfmt is now stable and available as pkgs.nixfmt, deprecating the temporary pkgs.nixfmt-rfc-style attribute. The classic nixfmt will stay available for some more time as pkgs.nixfmt-classic.

  • The default GHC version has been updated from 9.8 to 9.10. haskellPackages correspondingly uses Stackage LTS 24 (instead of LTS 23) as a baseline.

  • Darwin has switched to using the system libc++. This was done for improved compatibility and to avoid ODR violations. If a newer C++ library feature is not available on the default deployment target, you will need to increase the deployment target. See the Darwin platform documentation for more details.

  • LLVM has been updated from 19 to 21.

Backward Incompatibilities

  • nixVersions.nix_2_3 has been dropped because it was insecure and unmaintained.

  • The minimum version of Nix required to evaluate Nixpkgs has been raised from 2.3 to 2.18.

  • mono4 and mono5 have been removed. Use mono6 or mono instead.

  • Everything related to bower was removed, as it is deprecated and not used by anything in nixpkgs.

  • reaction has been updated to version 2, which includes some breaking changes. For more information, check the release article.

  • mealie has been updated to 3.0.2: This update introduces breaking changes in some API endpoints (see the release changelog).

  • The offrss package was removed due to lack of upstream maintenance since 2012. It's recommended for users to migrate to another RSS reader

  • installShellFiles: Allow installManPage to take a piped input, add the --name flag for renaming the file when installed. Can also append -- to opt-out of all subsequent parsing.

  • GCC 9, 10, 11, and 12 have been removed, as they have reached end‐of‐life upstream and are no longer supported.

  • LLVM 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 have been removed, as they have reached end‐of‐life upstream and are no longer supported.

  • The vlock output from kbd has been removed. Instead a new package kbdVlock has been introduced. Use this package now instead of the output.

  • GHCJS 8.10, exposed via haskell.compiler.ghcjs and haskell.compiler.ghcjs810, has been removed. Downstream users should migrate their projects to the new JavaScript backend of GHC proper which can be used via pkgsCross.ghcjs from Nixpkgs. Haskell packaging code, like haskellPackages.mkDerivation, ghcWithPackages and hoogleWithPackages, also no longer supports GHCJS.

  • GHC 8.6, 8.10, 9.0, 9.2, and their package sets have been removed.

  • webkitgtk_4_0 has been removed because it depends on an unmaintained version of security-critical libsoup library (libsoup_2) and the support will be dropped upstream soon.

  • Support for bootstrapping native GHC compilers on 32‐bit ARM and little‐endian 64‐bit PowerPC has been dropped. The latter was probably broken anyway. If there is interest in restoring support for these architectures, it should be possible to cross‐compile a bootstrap GHC binary.

  • haskellPackages and the package sets under haskell.packages no longer expose an llvmPackages attribute, though it can still be accessed via ghc.llvmPackages (from the same package set). Haskell packages usually only need to depend on an LLVM version matching GHC if they force the use the LLVM backend even if NCG is available. In this case, it is best to use the forceLlvmCodegenBackend helper. In all other cases, like linking against libLLVM, Haskell packages should use the appropriate version of llvmPackages from pkgs.

  • uw-ttyp0 has been updated to version 2.1. The filenames of the OTB and PSF fonts have been changed to match the upstream naming convention. If you were loading a font by path, for example in the console.font NixOS option, remember to update the filename accordingly.

  • adminneo has been updated to version 5.1.1. Version 5 breaks compatibility with adminer and changes how plugins and configuration work. See the Upgrade Guide for details. Those changes also led to changes in the arguments of the package.

  • base16-builder node package has been removed due to lack of upstream maintenance.

  • The default glibc ELF ABI for the powerpc64-linux platform has been changed from ELFv2 back to ELFv1, due to the latter having less remaining issues when bootstrapping & building Nixpkgs packages on hardware. If glibc ELFv2 is desired, use a fuller target triplet like powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnuabielfv2 or the provided ppc64-elfv2 platform example.

  • python3Packages.bjoern has been removed, as the upstream is unmaintained and it depends on a 14-year-old version of http-parser with numerous vulnerabilities.

  • buildGoModule removes the compatibility layer of CGO_ENABLED not specified via env. Specifying CGO_ENABLED directly now results in an error.

  • buildGoModule now warns if <pkg>.passthru.overrideModAttrs is lost during the overriding of its result packages.

  • gentium package now provides Gentium-*.ttf files, and not GentiumPlus-*.ttf files like before. The font identifiers Gentium Plus* are available in the gentium-plus package, and if you want to use the more recently updated package gentium by SIL, you should update your configuration files to use the Gentium font identifier.

  • space-orbit package has been removed due to lack of upstream maintenance. Debian upstream stopped tracking it in 2011.

  • Derivations setting both separateDebugInfo and one of allowedReferences, allowedRequisites, disallowedReferences or disallowedRequisites must now set __structuredAttrs to true. The effect of reference whitelisting or blacklisting will be disabled on the debug output created by separateDebugInfo.

  • k2pdfopt has been removed, as it's broken.

  • victoriametrics no longer contains VictoriaLogs components. These have been separated into the new package victorialogs.

  • mx-puppet-discord was removed from Nixpkgs along with its NixOS module as it was unmaintained and was the only user of sha1 hashes in tree.

  • gradience has been removed because it was archived upstream.

  • kbd package's outputs now include a man and scripts outputs. The unicode_start and unicode_stop Bash scripts are now part of the scripts output, allowing most usages of the kbd package to not pull in bash.

  • spidermonkey_91 has been removed, as it has been EOL since September 2022.

  • The license of duckstation has changed from gpl3Only to cc-by-nc-nd-40 making it unfree in newer releases. The duckstation package has been overhauled to support the new releases and duckstation-bin has been aliased to duckstation to support darwin binary builds.

  • hiawata has been removed, due to lack of active development upstream, lack of maintainership downstream and upcoming security issues.

  • forgejo main program has been renamed to bin/forgejo from the previous bin/gitea.

  • wayclip now uses the ext-data-control-v1 Wayland protocol instead of wlr-data-control-unstable-v1.

  • cudaPackages.cudatoolkit-legacy-runfile has been removed.

  • conduwuit was removed due to upstream ceasing development and deleting their repository. For existing data, a migration to matrix-conduit, matrix-continuwuity or matrix-tuwunel may be possible.

  • asciidoctor-with-extension had its asciidoctor-mathematical extension removed, because it fails to build, and it is not maintained properly.

  • The ghcInfo and controlPhases functions have been removed from haskell.lib.compose and haskell.lib. They were unused and would return incorrect results.

    • Instead of using controlPhases, the doCheck attribute of derivations can be accessed which is more accurate. doBenchmark can't be introspected at the moment.
    • To detect cross compilation, the relevant platforms exposed by stdenv should be compared instead of using ghcInfo.
    • Nixpkgs no longer packages any ghcjs compiler.
    • To find a suitable nativeGhc, buildHaskellPackages should be used. ghcInfo would use ghc.bootPkgs.ghc if cross compiling, and the given ghc otherwise. This approach is not recommended since it results in mismatched GHC versions.

  • gnome-keyring no longer ships with an SSH agent anymore because it has been deprecated upstream. You should use gcr_4 instead, which provides the same features. More information on why this was done can be found on the relevant GCR upstream PR.

  • python3Full and its versioned attributes (python3xxFull) have been removed. Bluetooth support is now enabled in the default python3 attributes. The X11 support built the tkinter module, which is available as a dedicated attribute on the package set.

  • stdenv.mkDerivation and other derivation builders that use it no longer allow the value of env to be anything but an attribute set, for the purpose of setting environment variables that are available to the builder process. An environment variable called env can still be provided by means of mkDerivation { env.env = ...; }, though we recommend to use a more specific name than "env".

  • purple-matrix has been removed, since it has been unmaintained since April 2022 and upstream does not recommend using it anymore.

  • sublime-music has been removed because upstream has announced it is no longer maintained. Upstream suggests using supersonic instead.

  • The default Android NDK version has been raised to 27, and the default SDK version to 35. NDK 21–26 have been removed, as they are end‐of‐life.

  • nuget-to-nix has been removed as it was deprecated in favor of nuget-to-json. Out-of-tree packages that were using nuget-to-nix should migrate to use nuget-to-json instead for generating .NET dependency lock files.

  • conftest since 0.60.0 has moved to use rego v1 as default. To continue using v0 use --rego-version v0. For more information about upgrading to Rego v1 syntax, see the upstream docs.

  • Zig 0.12 has been removed.

  • services.forgejo.dump.age now defaults to 4w, which deletes dumps older than 4 weeks. This new behaviour could result in older backups being deleted.

  • ansible-later has been removed because it was discontinued by the author.

  • k3s airgap images passthru attributes have changed:

    • imagesList was removed
    • airgapImages was renamed to airgap-images
    • airgapImagesAmd64 was renamed to airgap-images-amd64-tar-zst
    • airgapImagesArm64 was renamed to airgap-images-arm64-tar-zst
    • airgapImagesArm was renamed to airgap-images-arm-tar-zst

  • stalwart-mail since 0.13.0 "introduces a significant redesign of the MTA’s delivery and queueing subsystem". See the upgrading announcement for the 0.13.0 release.

  • meilisearch_1_11 has been removed, as it is no longer supported.

  • Greetd and its original greeters (tuigreet, gtkgreet, qtgreet, regreet, wlgreet) were moved from greetd namespace to top level (greetd.tuigreet -> tuigreet, greetd.greetd -> greetd, etc). The original attrs are available for compatibility as passthrus of greetd, but will emit a warning. They will be removed in future releases.

  • carla no longer support gtk2 override.

  • The archipelago-minecraft package was removed, as upstream no longer provides support for the Minecraft APWorld.

  • pcp has been removed because the upstream repo was archived and it hasn't been updated since 2021.

  • navidrome 0.58.0 introduces multi-library support and backwards incompatible database migrations. Ensure backups are valid and run a Full Scan after starting the new version.

  • deabbeef no longer support gtk2.

  • tooling-language-server has been renamed to deputy (both the package and binary), following the rename of the upstream project.

  • fetchFromBitBucket has gained a fetchgit backend when passing in git-related arguments similar to fetchFromGitHub.

  • fetchtorrent, when using the "rqbit" backend, erroneously started fetching files into a subdirectory in Nixpkgs 24.11. The original behaviour – which matches the behaviour using the "transmission" backend – has now been restored. Users reliant on the erroneous behaviour can temporarily maintain it by adding flatten = false to the fetchtorrent arguments; Nix will produce an evaluation warning for anyone using backend = "rqbit" without flatten = true.

  • steamcontroller has been removed due to lack of upstream maintenance. Consider using sc-controller instead.

  • linux and all other Linux kernel packages have moved all in-tree kernel modules into a new modules output.

  • webfontkitgenerator has been renamed to webfont-bundler, following the rename of the upstream project. The binary name remains webfontkitgenerator. The webfontkitgenerator package is an alias to webfont-bundler.

  • python3Packages.triton no longer takes an enableRocm argument and supports ROCm in all build configurations via runtime binding. In most cases no action will be needed. If triton is unable to find the HIP SDK add rocmPackages.clr as a build input or set the environment variable HIP_PATH="${rocmPackages.clr}".

  • floorp has been replaced with a binary build, available as floorp-bin. Due to major changes in the upstream project structure and build system, building Floorp from source has become unfeasible. No configuration or state migration is necessary.

  • inspircd has been updated to the v4 release series. Please refer to the upstream documentation for general information and a list of breaking changes.

  • proton-caller has been removed due to lack of upstream maintenance.

  • android-udev-rules has been removed, as it is effectively superseded by built-in uaccess rules in systemd.

  • lima package now only includes the guest agent for the host's architecture by default. If your guest VM's architecture differs from your Lima host's, you'll need to enable the lima-additional-guestagents package by setting withAdditionalGuestAgents = true when overriding lima with this input.

  • mongodb-6_0 was removed as it is end of life as of 2025-07-31.

  • CUDA versions below 12.6 have been removed, as they are unmaintained upstream and depend on end‐of‐life compilers.

  • vmware-horizon-client was renamed to omnissa-horizon-client, following VMware's sale of their end-user business to Omnissa. The binary has been renamed from vmware-view to horizon-client.

  • yggdrasil-jumper has been updated to v0.4, changing traversal protocol. See release notes.

  • neovimUtils.makeNeovimConfig now uses customLuaRC parameter instead of accepting luaRcContent. The old usage is deprecated but still works with a warning.

  • python3Packages.pyocr no longer supports cuneiform on Linux by default. It is still possible to enable it using withCuneiformSupport override.

  • telegram-desktop packages now uses Telegram for its binary. The previous name was telegram-desktop. This is due to an upstream decision to make the name consistent with other platforms.

  • hsd has been upgraded to version 8. See their changelog for important instructions before upgrading.

  • sail-riscv 0.8 follows upstream and provides only a single binary, sail_riscv_sim.

  • moar has been updated from 1.33.0 to 2.0.0, and renamed to moor following an upstream decision. See the release notes for more.

  • podofo has been updated from 0.9.8 to 1.0.0. These releases are by nature very incompatible due to major API changes. The legacy versions can be found under podofo_0_10 and podofo_0_9. Changelog: https://github.com/podofo/podofo/blob/1.0.0/CHANGELOG.md, API-Migration-Guide: https://github.com/podofo/podofo/blob/1.0.0/API-MIGRATION.md.

  • NetBox was updated to >= 4.3.0. Have a look at the breaking changes of the 4.3 release, make the required changes to your database, if needed, then upgrade by setting services.netbox.package = pkgs.netbox_4_3; in your configuration.

  • privatebin has been updated to 2.0.0. This release changes configuration defaults including switching the template and removing legacy features. See the v2.0.0 changelog entry for details on how to upgrade.

  • rocmPackages.triton has been removed in favor of python3Packages.triton.

  • linpinyin, which is used for Chinese character input, has migrated from the unmaintained BDB database format to the newer KyotoCabinet database format. If you want to migrate your user input statistics you can consider using bdbtokyotodb.

  • go-mockery has been updated to v3. For migration instructions see the upstream documentation. If v2 is still required go-mockery_v2 has been added but will be removed on or before 2029-12-31 in-line with its upstream support lifecycle

  • prometheus-script-exporter has been updated to use a new maintained alternative. This release updates from 1.2.0 -> 3.0.1 and largely changes configuration options formats from json to yaml, among other changes.

  • private-gpt service has been removed by lack of maintenance upstream.

  • rabbitmq-server has been updated from 4.0.9 to 4.1.4. The 4.1.0 release includes breaking changes. For more information read the changelog of 4.1.0

  • lxde scope has been removed, and its packages have been moved the top-level.

  • pulsemeeter has been updated to 2.0.0. The configuration file from older versions has to be deleted. For more information and instructions see the v2.0.0 changelog entry.

  • rofi has been updated to 2.0.0. rofi-wayland and rofi-wayland-unwrapped have been merged into rofi and rofi-unwrapped respectively. For more information and instructions see the v2.0.0 changelog entry.

  • rofi-emoji-wayland has been merged into rofi-emoji as rofi has been updated to 2.0.0 and supports both X11 & Wayland.

  • The main binary of tomlq has been renamed from tomlq to tq.

  • opensoldat binaries and user configuration directory names have been prefixed by 'open', becoming opensoldat and opensoldatserver. Configuration will be moved automatically before launch when possible.

  • emacs-macport has been moved to a fork of Mitsuharu Yamamoto's patched source code starting with Emacs v30 as the original project seems to be currently dormant. All older versions of this package have been dropped. This introduces some backwards‐incompatible changes; see the NEWS for details. NEWS can be viewed from Emacs by typing C-h n, or by clicking Help->Emacs News from the menu bar. It can also be browsed online.

  • python3Packages.heif-image-plugin has been dropped due to lack of upstream maintenance and breakage. Use python3Packages.pillow-heif instead.

  • python3Packages.pyheif has been dropped due to lack of upstream maintenance and breakage. Use python3Packages.pillow-heif instead.

  • nodePackages.rimraf has been removed, as it is a Javascript library, and packages that want to use it should depend directly on it instead.

  • mariadb now defaults to mariadb_114 instead of mariadb_1011, meaning the default version was upgraded from 10.11.x to 11.4.x. See the upgrade notes for potential issues.

  • qt5.full and qt6.full aliases have been removed. Their use has always been discouraged, and downstream projects should use qtN.env with the right set of packages.

  • python3Packages.duckduckgo-search has been updated to v9+ and therefore has been renamed to ddgs. Use python3Packages.ddgs instead. See release note for v9.0.0

Other Notable Changes

  • Added rewriteURL attribute to the nixpkgs config, to allow for rewriting the URLs downloaded by fetchurl.

  • Added hashedMirrors attribute to the nixpkgs config, to allow for customization of the hashed mirrors used by fetchurl.

  • Added gitConfig and gitConfigFile option to the nixpkgs config, to allow for setting a default gitConfigFile for all fetchgit invocations.

  • The dockerTools.streamLayeredImage builder now uses a better algorithm for generating layered docker images, such that much more sharing is possible when the number of store paths exceeds the layer limit. It gives each of the largest store paths its own layer and adds dependencies to those layers when they aren't used elsewhere.

  • The systemd initrd will now respect x-systemd.wants and x-systemd.requires for reliably unlocking multi-disk bcachefs volumes.

  • neovim: Added support for the vim.o.exrc option, the VIMINIT environment variable, and sourcing of sysinit.vim.

    See the neovim help page :help startup for more information, as well as the nixpkgs neovim wrapper documentation.

  • cloudflare-ddns: Added package cloudflare-ddns.

  • clickhouse: Added serverConfig, usersConfig configuration options accepting Nix attribute sets. Also added extraServerConfig and extraUsersConfig options accepting plain text (expecting XML configuration).

  • homebox 0.20.0 changed how assets are stored and hashed. It is recommended to back up your database before this update. In particular, --storage-data was replaced with --storage-conn-string and --storage-prefix-path. If your configuration set HBOX_STORAGE_DATA manually, you must migrate it to HBOX_STORAGE_CONN_STRING and HBOX_STORAGE_PREFIX_PATH.

  • GIMP now defaults to version 3. Use gimp2 for the old version.

  • installShellCompletion: now supports Nushell completion files

  • idris2 supports being instantiated with a package environment with idris.withPackages (p: [ ])

  • New hardening flags, strictflexarrays1 and strictflexarrays3 were made available, corresponding to the gcc/clang options -fstrict-flex-arrays=1 and -fstrict-flex-arrays=3 respectively.

  • gramps has been updated to 6.0.0 Upstream recommends backing up your Family Trees before upgrading.

  • meta.mainProgram: Changing this meta entry can lead to a package rebuild due to being used to determine the NIX_MAIN_PROGRAM environment variable.

  • forgejo-runner: The upgrade to version 11 brings a license change from MIT to GPLv3-or-later.

  • waydroid-nftables: New variant of waydroid that supports nftables instead of iptables.

  • lisp-modules were brought in sync with the June 2025 Quicklisp release.

  • ffmpeg_8, ffmpeg_8-headless, and ffmpeg_8-full have been added. The default version of FFmpeg remains ffmpeg_7 for now, though this may change before release.

  • searx was updated to use envsubst instead of sed for parsing secrets from environment variables. If your previous configuration included a secret reference like server.secret_key = "@SEARX_SECRET_KEY@", you must migrate to the new envsubst syntax: server.secret_key = "$SEARX_SECRET_KEY".

  • jellyfin was updated to 10.11.x, which includes heavy backend changes. Make sure to backup your data and configuration directories and read the Jellyfin 10.11.0 release announcement. Important: make sure you're running Jellyfin version 10.10.7 before upgrading, and beware that the migration may take several hours depending on your library size and state. The process must not be interrupted.

  • A new hardening flag, glibcxxassertions was made available, corresponding to the glibc _GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS option.

  • versionCheckHook: Packages that previously relied solely on pname to locate the program used to version check, but have a differing meta.mainProgram entry, might now fail.

  • The debug outputs produced by separateDebugInfo = true; now contain symlinks mapping build-ids to the original source and ELF file. Specifically, if $out/bin/ninja has build-id 483bd7f7229bdb06462222e1e353e4f37e15c293, then

    • $debug/lib/debug/.build-id/48/3bd7f7229bdb06462222e1e353e4f37e15c293.executable is a symlink to $out/bin/ninja
    • $debug/lib/debug/.build-id/48/3bd7f7229bdb06462222e1e353e4f37e15c293.source is a symlink to the value of $src during build
    • $debug/lib/debug/.build-id/48/3bd7f7229bdb06462222e1e353e4f37e15c293.sourceoverlay is a symlink to a directory with the same structure as the expanded $sourceRoot but containing only a copy of files which were patched during the build
    • $debug/lib/debug/.build-id/48/3bd7f7229bdb06462222e1e353e4f37e15c293.debug is the file containing debug symbols (like before).

  • fetchgit: Add gitConfigFile argument to set a git config (via $GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL) for the fetcher.

  • fetchgit: Add rootDir argument to limit the resulting source to one subdirectory of the whole Git repository. Corresponding --root-dir option added to nix-prefetch-git.

  • nix-prefetch-git: Added a --no-add-path argument to disable adding the path to the store; this is useful when working with a read-only store.

  • sftpman has been updated to version 2, a rewrite in Rust which is mostly backward compatible but does include some changes to the CLI. For more information, check the project's README.

  • The clickhouse package now track the stable upstream version per upstream's recommendation. Users can continue to use the clickhouse-lts package if desired.

  • emacs now disables the GC mark trace buffer by default. This improves GC performance by 5%, but can make GC issues harder to debug. This is configurable with withGcMarkTrace.

  • Passing stdenv to buildPythonPackage or buildPythonApplication has been deprecated and will trigger an error in a future release. Instead, you should override the python build helper, e.g., (buildPythonPackage.override { stdenv = customStdenv; }). See .

  • buildPythonPackage and buildPythonApplication now default to nix-update-script as their default updateScript. This should improve automated updates, since nix-update is better maintained than the in-tree update script and has more robust fetcher support.

  • plasma6: Fixed the ksycoca cache not being re-built when $XDG_CACHE_HOME is set to something that isn't $HOME/.cache.

  • dragonflydb has been updated from version 0.1.0 to version 1.34.2.

Nixpkgs Library

Breaking changes

  • lib.literalExample has been removed, use lib.literalExpression instead, or use lib.literalMD for a non-Nix description.

  • lib.replaceChars has been removed, it was a deprecated alias of lib.replaceStrings.

  • lib.readPathsFromFile has been removed, use a list instead

  • lib.mapAttrsFlatten has been removed, following its deprecation in NixOS 24.11. Use lib.attrsets.mapAttrsToList instead.

  • lib.strings.isCoercibleToString has been in favor of either lib.strings.isStringLike or lib.strings.isConvertibleWithToString. Only use the latter if it needs to return true for null, numbers, booleans, or a list of those.

  • lib.types.string has been removed. See this pull request for better alternative types like lib.types.str.

  • lib.modules.defaultPriority has been removed, please use lib.modules.defaultOverridePriority instead.

  • lib.attrsets.cartesianProductOfSets has been removed, following its deprecation in NixOS 24.11. Use lib.attrsets.cartesianProduct instead.

  • lib.sources.pathType, lib.sources.pathIsDirectory and lib.sources.pathIsRegularFile have been replaced by lib.filesystem.pathType, lib.filesystem.pathIsDirectory and lib.filesystem.pathIsRegularFile respectively.

  • lib.attrsets.zip has been removed, following its deprecation in 2013. Use lib.attrsets.zipAttrsWith instead.

  • lib.attrsets.zipWithNames has been removed, following its deprecation in 2009. Use lib.attrsets.zipAttrsWithNames instead.

  • lib.options.mkPackageOptionMD has been removed, following its deprecation in NixOS 24.11. Use lib.options.mkPackageOption instead.

  • haskell.lib.addOptparseApplicativeCompletionScripts has been removed, use haskellPackages.generateOptparseApplicativeCompletions instead.

  • The buildPythonPackage and buildPythonApplication functions now require an explicit format attribute. Previously the default format used setuptools and called setup.py from the source tree, which is deprecated. The modern alternative is to configure pyproject = true with build-system = [ setuptools ].

Deprecations

  • lib.options.mkAliasOptionModuleMD is now obsolete; use the identical [lib.options.mkAliasOptionModule] instead.

  • types.either silently accepted mismatching types when used in freeformType. Module maintainers should fix the used type In most cases wrapping either with attrsOf should be sufficient.

    Since types.either was used to bootstrap other types. This also affects the following types:

    • oneOf
    • number
    • numbers.*

  • lib.cli.toGNUCommandLine and lib.cli.toGNUCommandLineShell have been deprecated in favor of lib.cli.toCommandLine, lib.cli.toCommandLineShell, lib.cli.toCommandLineGNU and lib.cli.toCommandLineShellGNU.

Additions and Improvements

  • lib.cli.toCommandLine, lib.cli.toCommandLineShell, lib.cli.toCommandLineGNU and lib.cli.toCommandLineShellGNU have been added to address multiple issues in lib.cli.toGNUCommandLine and lib.cli.toGNUCommandLineShell.

  • ugrep: Added wrapWithFilterUtils package flag for optionally wrapping ugrep+ and ug+ with filter utilities for grepping other file types.

  • ugrep: Added createGrepReplacementLinks package flag for optionally creating drop-in replacement symlinks for gnugrep.
