Raw Blame History

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 backwards‐incompatible 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 backwards‐incompatible changes; see the upstream release notes for details.

  • The default PHP version has been updated to 8.3.

New Modules

Backward Incompatibilities

  • binwalk was updated to 3.1.0, which has been rewritten in rust. The python module is no longer available. See the release notes of 3.1.0 for more information.

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

  • strawberry has been updated to 1.2, which drops support for the VLC backend and Qt 5. The strawberry-qt5 package and withGstreamer/withVlc override options have been removed due to this.

  • 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.

  • nodePackages.insect has been removed, as it's deprecated by upstream. The suggested replacement is numbat.

  • nodePackages.webpack-dev-server has been removed, as it should be installed in projects that use it instead.

  • racket_7_9 has been removed, as it is insecure. It is recommended to use Racket 8 instead.

  • fluxus has been removed, as it depends on racket_7_9 and had no updates in 9 years.

  • The behavior of the networking.nat.externalIP and networking.nat.externalIPv6 options has been changed. networking.nat.forwardPorts now only forwards packets destined for the specified IP addresses.

  • nodePackages.meshcommander has been removed, as the package was deprecated by Intel.

  • 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

  • nerdfonts has been separated into individual font packages under the namespace nerd-fonts. The directories for font files have changed from $out/share/fonts/{opentype,truetype}/NerdFonts to $out/share/fonts/{opentype,truetype}/NerdFonts/<fontDirName>, where <fontDirName> can be found in the official website as the titles in preview images, with the "Nerd Font" suffix and any whitespaces trimmed. Configuration changes are required, see build output.

  • retroarch has been refactored and the older retroarch.override { cores = [ ... ]; } to create a RetroArch derivation with custom cores doesn't work anymore, use retroarch.withCores (cores: [ ... ]) instead. If you need more customization (e.g.: custom settings), use wrapRetroArch instead.

  • gkraken software and hardware.gkraken.enable option have been removed, use coolercontrol via programs.coolercontrol.enable option instead.

  • nodePackages.ganache has been removed, as the package has been deprecated by upstream.

  • containerd has been updated to v2, which contains breaking changes. See the containerd 2.0 documentation for more details.

  • nodePackages.stackdriver-statsd-backend has been removed, as the StackDriver service has been discontinued by Google, and therefore the package no longer works.

  • 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.

  • prisma and prisma-engines have been updated to version 6.0.1, which introduces several breaking changes. See the Prisma ORM upgrade guide for more information.

Other Notable Changes

  • Cinnamon has been updated to 6.4.

  • networking.wireguard now has an optional networkd backend. It is enabled by default when networking.useNetworkd is enabled, and it can be enabled alongside scripted networking with networking.wireguard.useNetworkd. Some networking.wireguard options have slightly different behavior with the networkd and script-based backends, documented in each option. Before upgrading, make sure the privateKeyFile and presharedKeyFile paths are readable by the systemd-network user if using the networkd backend.

  • services.avahi.ipv6 now defaults to true.

  • bind.cacheNetworks now only controls access for recursive queries, where it previously controlled access for all queries.
