Release 25.05 (“Warbler”, 2025.05/??)

Highlights

  • This release of Nixpkgs requires macOS Big Sur 11.3 or newer, as announced in the 24.11 release notes. We cannot guarantee that packages will continue to work on older versions of macOS. Future Nixpkgs releases will only support macOS versions supported by Apple; this means that Nixpkgs 25.11 will require macOS Sonoma 14 or newer. Users on old macOS versions should consider upgrading to a supported version (potentially using OpenCore Legacy Patcher for old hardware) or installing NixOS. If neither of those options are viable and you require new versions of software, MacPorts supports versions back to Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.

  • GCC has been updated from GCC 13 to GCC 14. This introduces some backwardsincompatible changes; see the upstream porting guide for details.

  • LLVM has been updated from LLVM 16 (on Darwin) and LLVM 18 (on other platforms) to LLVM 19. This introduces some backwardsincompatible changes; see the upstream release notes for details.

  • The default PHP version has been updated to 8.3.

New Modules

Backward Incompatibilities

  • buildGoPackage has been removed. Use buildGoModule instead. See the Go section in the nixpkgs manual for details.

  • timescaledb requires manual upgrade steps. After you run ALTER EXTENSION, you must run this SQL script. For more details, see the following pull requests #6797. PostgreSQL 13 is no longer supported in TimescaleDB v2.16.

  • Support for CUDA 10 has been dropped, as announced in the 24.11 release notes.

  • zammad has had its support for MySQL removed, since it was never working correctly and is now deprecated upstream. Check the migration guide for how to convert your database to PostgreSQL.

  • kanata was updated to v1.7.0, which introduces several breaking changes. See the release notes of v1.7.0 for more information.

  • vscode-utils.buildVscodeExtension now requires pname as an argument

  • the notmuch vim plugin now lives in a separate output of the notmuch package. Installing notmuch will not bring the notmuch vim package anymore, add vimPlugins.notmuch-vim to your (Neo)vim configuration if you want the vim plugin.
