1# Release 24.05 (“Uakari”, 2024.05/31) {#sec-release-24.05}
2
3Support is planned until the end of December 2024, handing over to 24.11.

5## Highlights {#sec-release-24.05-highlights}
6
7In addition to numerous new and upgraded packages, this release has the following highlights:
8
9<!-- Please keep entries alphabetically sorted. -->
10
11- The default kernel package has been updated from 6.1 to 6.6. All supported kernels remain available.
12
13- For each supporting version of the Linux kernel, firmware blobs
14 are compressed with zstd. For firmware blobs this means an increase of 4.4% in size, however
15 a significantly higher decompression speed.
16
17- NixOS now installs a stub ELF loader that prints an informative error message when users attempt to run binaries not made for NixOS.
18 - This can be disabled through the `environment.stub-ld.enable` option.
19 - If you use `programs.nix-ld.enable`, no changes are needed. The stub will be disabled automatically.
20
21- 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.
22
23 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.
24
25 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.
26
27 To disable it, set [nixpkgs.flake.setNixPath](#opt-nixpkgs.flake.setNixPath) and [nixpkgs.flake.setFlakeRegistry](#opt-nixpkgs.flake.setFlakeRegistry) to false.
28
29- NixOS AMIs are now uploaded regularly to a new AWS Account.
30 Instructions on how to use them can be found on <https://nixos.github.io/amis>.
31 We are working on integrating the data into the NixOS homepage.
32 The list in `nixos/modules/virtualisation/amazon-ec2-amis.nix` will stop
33 being updated and will be removed in the future.
34
35- It is now possible to have a completely perlless system (i.e. a system
36 without perl). Previously, the NixOS activation depended on two perl scripts
37 which can now be replaced via an opt-in mechanism. To make your system
38 perlless, you can use the new perlless profile:
39 ```nix
40 { modulesPath, ... }:
41 {
42 imports = [ "${modulesPath}/profiles/perlless.nix" ];
43 }
44 ```
45
46- Cinnamon has been updated to 6.0. Please be aware 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.
47
48- GNOME has been updated to 46 "Kathmandu". Refer to the [release notes](https://release.gnome.org/46/) for more details. Notably this release brings experimental VRR support, default GTK renderer changes and WebDAV support in Online Accounts. This release we have also stopped including the legacy and unsupported Adwaita-Dark theme by default.
49
50- 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.
51
52- LXQt has been updated to 2.0, which is based on Qt 6 and features Wayland support for many applications.
53
54- MATE has been updated to 1.28.
55 - To properly support panel plugins built with Wayland (in-process) support, we are introducing the `services.xserver.desktopManager.mate.extraPanelApplets` option, please use that for installing panel applets.
56 - Similarly, please use the `services.xserver.desktopManager.mate.extraCajaExtensions` option for installing Caja extensions.
57 - To use the Wayland session, enable `services.xserver.desktopManager.mate.enableWaylandSession`. This is opt-in for now as it is in early an stage and introduces a new set of Wayfire closures. Due to [known issues with LightDM](https://github.com/canonical/lightdm/issues/63), we suggest using SDDM as the display manager.
58
59- Plasma 6 is now available and can be installed with `services.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.
60
61## New Services {#sec-release-24.05-new-services}

220
221## Backward Incompatibilities {#sec-release-24.05-incompatibilities}
222
223<!-- To avoid merge conflicts, consider adding your item at an arbitrary place in the list instead. -->
224
225- `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"`).
226 This is recommended to be a separate (sub)domain to the one Akkoma is hosted at.
227 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.
228
229- `appimageTools.wrapAppImage` now creates the binary at `$out/bin/${pname}` rather than `$out/bin/${pname}-${version}`, which will break downstream workarounds.
230
231- `apptainer` and `singularity` now prioritize system-wide `PATH` over those constructed from dependent packages when searching for third-party utilities. The `PATH` to search for third-party utilities, known as `defaultPath` inside Apptainer/Singularity source code, is now constructed from the following sources, ordered by their precedence:
232 - `systemBinPaths`, a new argument introduced to specify system-wide `"/**/bin"` directories.
233 - The FHS `defaultPath` value set by Apptainer/Singularity developers, making Apptainer/Singularity work out of the box in FHS systems.
234 - `defaultPathInputs`, a list of packages to form the fall-back `PATH`.
235
236 This change is required to enable Sylabs SingularityCE (`singularity`) to run images, as it requires a `fusermount3` commant with the SUID bit set.
237
238 `newuidmapPath` and `newgidmapPath` arguments are deprecated in favour of `systemBinPaths`. Their support will be removed in future releases.
239
240 `programs.singularity.systemBinPaths` option is introduced to specify the `systemBinPaths` argument of the overridden package. It includes `"/run/wrappers/bin"` even if specified empty.
241
242 `programs.singularity.enableFakeroot` option is deprecated and has no effect. `--fakeroot` support is now always enabled as long as `programs.singularity.systemBinPaths` is not forcefully overridden.
243
244- `azure-cli` now has extension support. For example, to install the `aks-preview` extension, use
245
246 ```nix
247 {
248 environment.systemPackages = [ (azure-cli.withExtensions [ azure-cli.extensions.aks-preview ]) ];
249 }
250 ```
251 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.
252 This can be disabled by overriding `withImmutableConfig = false` when building `azure-cli`.
253
254- `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.
255
256- `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.
257
258- `chromium` and `ungoogled-chromium` had a long-standing issue regarding Widevine DRM handling in nixpkgs fixed.
259 `chromium` now no longer automatically downloads Widevine when encountering DRM protected content.
260 To be able to play DRM protected content in `chromium`, you now have to explicitly opt-in as originally intended using `chromium.override { enableWideVine = true; }`.
261 This override was added almost 10 years ago.
262
263- `craftos-pc` package has been updated to v2.8, which includes [breaking changes](https://github.com/MCJack123/craftos2/releases/tag/v2.8).
264 - Files are now handled in binary mode; this could break programs with embedded UTF-8 characters.
265 - The ROM was updated to match ComputerCraft version v1.109.2.
266 - 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.
267 - The WebSocket API [was rewritten](https://github.com/MCJack123/craftos2/issues/337), which introduced breaking changes.
268
269- `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.
270 Take the time to review [the release notes](https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup/-/raw/v2.7.0/docs/v2.7.0-ReleaseNotes).
271 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.
272
273- `crystal` package has been updated to 1.11.x, which has some breaking changes.
274 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))
275
276- `cudaPackages` package scope has been updated to `cudaPackages_12`.
277
278- `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.
279
280- `cudaPackages.cudatoolkit` has been deprecated and replaced with a
281 symlink-based wrapper for the splayed redistributable CUDA packages. The
282 wrapper only includes tools and libraries necessary to build common packages
283 such as tensorflow. The original runfile-based `cudatoolkit` is still
284 available as `cudatoolkit-legacy-runfile`.
285
286- `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`.
287
288- `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.
289
290- `davfs2`'s `services.davfs2.extraConfig` setting has been deprecated and converted to the free-form type option named `services.davfs2.settings` according to RFC42.
291
292- `dwarf-fortress` has been updated to version 50, which is identical to the version on Steam, but without the paid elements like tilepacks.
293 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.
294 See [Bay 12 Games](http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/) for more details on what's new in Dwarf Fortress.
295
296 - Running an earlier version can be achieved through an override: `dwarf-fortress-packages.dwarf-fortress-full.override { dfVersion = "0.47.5"; }`
297
298 - 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.
299
300- `erlang-ls` package no longer ships the `els_dap` binary as of v0.51.0.
301
302- `erlang_node_short_name`, `erlang_node_name`: `port` and `options` configuration parameters are gone, and have been replaced with an `environment` parameter.
303 Use the appropriate [environment variables](https://hexdocs.pm/livebook/readme.html#environment-variables) inside `environment` to configure the service instead.
304
305- `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.
306
307- `gauge` now supports installing plugins using Nix. For the old imperative approach, switch to `gauge-unwrapped`.
308 You can load plugins from an existing gauge manifest file using `gauge.fromManifest ./path/to/manifest.json` or
309 specify plugins in Nix using `gauge.withPlugins (p: with p; [ js html-report xml-report ])`.
310
311- `gitea` has been updated to 1.21, which introduces several breaking changes, including:
312 - Custom themes and other assets that were previously stored in `custom/public/*` now belong in `custom/public/assets/*`
313 - 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.
314
315- `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.
316
317- `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.
318
319- `go-ethereum` has been updated to v1.14.3. Geth v1.14.0 introduced a brand new live-tracing feature,
320 which required a number of breaking internal API changes. If you had your own native tracers implemented before this change,
321 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.
322 Geth v1.14.0 drops support for running pre-merge networks ([#29169](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/29169)).
323 It also stops automatically constructing the pending block ([#28623](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/28623)),
324 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.
325 See [the 1.14.0 release notes](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/releases/tag/v1.14.0) for more details.
326
327- `grafana-loki` has been updated to 3.0.0, which includes [breaking changes](https://github.com/grafana/loki/releases/tag/v3.0.0).
328
329- `gtest` package has been updated past v1.13.0, which requires C++14 or higher.
330
331- `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`.
332
333- `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.
334
335- `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.
336
337- `hvm` was updated to version 2.
338
339- `icu` no longer includes `install-sh` and `mkinstalldirs` in the shared folder.
340
341- `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.
342
343- `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`.
344
345- `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:
346
347 - 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.
348
349 - JVM arguments should now be provided with the `--jvm-arg` flag instead of setting `JAVA_OPTS`.
350
351 - The `-data` path is no longer required to run the package, and will be set to point to a folder in `$TMP` if missing.
352
353- `julia` environments can now be built with arbitrary packages from the ecosystem using the `.withPackages` function. For example: `julia.withPackages ["Plots"]`.
354
355- `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) in order 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.
356
357- `k9s` was updated to v0.31. There have been various breaking changes in the config file format,
358 check out the changelog of [v0.29](https://github.com/derailed/k9s/releases/tag/v0.29.0),
359 [v0.30](https://github.com/derailed/k9s/releases/tag/v0.30.0) and
360 [v0.31](https://github.com/derailed/k9s/releases/tag/v0.31.0) for details. It is recommended
361 to back up your current configuration and let k9s recreate the new base configuration.
362
363- `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.
364
365- `linuxPackages_testing_bcachefs` is now fully deprecated by `linuxPackages_latest`, and is therefore no longer available.
366
367- `livebook` package is now built as a `mix release` instead of an `escript`.
368 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.
369 This has the further consequence that the `livebook` service configuration has changed.
370
371- `lua` interpreters default LUA_PATH and LUA_CPATH are not overridden by nixpkgs
372 anymore, we patch LUA_ROOT instead which is more respectful to upstream.
373
374- `luarocks-packages-updater`'s .csv format, used to define lua packages to be updated, has changed: `src` (URL of a git repository) has now become `rockspec` (URL of a rockspec) to remove ambiguity regarding which rockspec to use and simplify implementation.
375
376- `mkosi` was updated to v22. Parts of the user interface have changed. Consult the
377 release notes of [v19](https://github.com/systemd/mkosi/releases/tag/v19),
378 [v20](https://github.com/systemd/mkosi/releases/tag/v20),
379 [v21](https://github.com/systemd/mkosi/releases/tag/v21) and
380 [v22](https://github.com/systemd/mkosi/releases/tag/v22) for a list of changes.
381
382- `mongodb-4_4` has been removed as it has reached end of life. Consequently, `unifi7` and `unifi8` now use MongoDB 5.0 by default.
383
384- `mongodb-5_0` and newer requires a cpu with the AVX instruction set to run.
385
386- `neo4j` has been updated to version 5. You may want to read the [release notes for Neo4j 5](https://neo4j.com/release-notes/database/neo4j-5/).
387
388- `netbox` was updated to v3.7. `services.netbox.package` still defaults
389 to v3.6 if `stateVersion` is earlier than 24.05. Refer to upstream's breaking
390 changes [for
391 v3.7.0](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/releases/tag/v3.7.0) and
392 upgrade NetBox by changing `services.netbox.package`. Database migrations
393 will be run automatically.
394
395- `network-interfaces.target` system target was removed as it has been deprecated for a long time. Use `network.target` instead.
396
397- `networking.iproute2.enable` now does not set `environment.etc."iproute2/rt_tables".text`.
398
399 Setting `environment.etc."iproute2/{CONFIG_FILE_NAME}".text` will override the whole configuration file instead of appending it to the upstream configuration file.
400
401 `CONFIG_FILE_NAME` includes `bpf_pinning`, `ematch_map`, `group`, `nl_protos`, `rt_dsfield`, `rt_protos`, `rt_realms`, `rt_scopes`, and `rt_tables`.
402
403- `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:
404 - If [`services.nextcloud.package`](#opt-services.nextcloud.package) is specified explicitly, this package will be installed (**recommended**).
405 - If [`system.stateVersion`](#opt-system.stateVersion) is >=24.05, `pkgs.nextcloud29` will be installed by default.
406 - If [`system.stateVersion`](#opt-system.stateVersion) is >=23.11, `pkgs.nextcloud27` will be installed by default.
407 - 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).
408 - Known warnings after the upgrade are documented in [](#module-services-nextcloud-known-warnings) from now on.
409 - The "Photos" app only displays Media from inside the `Photos` directory. This can be changed manually in the "Photos" tab below "Photos settings".
410
411- `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.
412
413- `nixVersions.unstable` was removed. Instead the following attributes are provided:
414 - `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.
415 - `nixVersions.latest` which points to the latest Nix version packaged in nixpkgs.
416
417- `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.
418
419 - `nomad` is now Nomad 1.7.x.
420
421 - `nomad_1_4` has been removed, as it is now unsupported upstream.
422
423- `nvtop` family of packages was reorganized into a nested attrset. `nvtop` has been renamed to `nvtopPackages.full`, and all `nvtop-{amd,nvidia,intel,msm}` packages are renamed to `nvtopPackages.{amd,nvidia,intel,msm}`.
424
425- `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
426 to another signature algorithm. However, for the time being it is possible to restore DSA key support using `override` to set `dsaKeysSupport = true`.
427
428- `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.
429
430- `paperless`' `services.paperless.extraConfig` setting has been removed and converted to the free-form type and option named `services.paperless.settings`.
431
432- `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.
433
434- `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`.
435 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.
436 The same release scheme is applied to the supporting `percona-xtrabackup` tool as well.
437
438- `pipewire` and `wireplumber` modules have removed support for using
439`environment.etc."pipewire/..."` and `environment.etc."wireplumber/..."`.
440Use `services.pipewire.extraConfig` or `services.pipewire.configPackages` for PipeWire and
441`services.pipewire.wireplumber.configPackages` for WirePlumber instead.
442
443- `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.
444
445- `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.
446 This means that `lib.mkForce` must be used to clear the list of default libraries.
447
448- `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.
449
450- `security.acme.defaults.server` now has a default value instead of `null`.
451 This effectively uses the same server, the Let's Encrypt production server,
452 but makes the default explicit, instead of relying on the Lego default.
453
454 A side effect of this is that the directory in which account data is stored
455 changes and the ACME module will request a new account and new certificates
456 for all domains. This may cause issues if you pin an `acccounturl` in a CAA
457 DNS record. To avoid this, you
458 may set `security.acme.defaults.server = null` to keep the old hashes.
459
460- `security.pam.sshAgentAuth.enable` now requires `services.openssh.authorizedKeysFiles` to be non-empty,
461 which is the case when `services.openssh.enable` is true. Previously, `pam_ssh_agent_auth` silently failed to work.
462
463- `security.pam.enableSSHAgentAuth` was replaced by the `sshAgentAuth` attrset, and **only**
464 `authorized_keys` files listed in [`sshAgentAuth.authorizedKeysFiles`] are trusted,
465 defaulting to `/etc/ssh/authorized_keys.d/%u`.
466 ::: {.warning}
467 Users of {manpage}`pam_ssh_agent_auth(8)` must take care that the pubkeys they use (for instance with `sudo`)
468 are listed in [`sshAgentAuth.authorizedKeysFiles`].
469 :::
470 ::: {.note}
471 Previously, all `services.openssh.authorizedKeysFiles` were trusted, including `~/.ssh/authorized_keys`,
472 which results in an **insecure** configuration; see [#31611](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/31611).
473 :::
474
475[`sshAgentAuth.authorizedKeysFiles`]: #opt-security.pam.sshAgentAuth.authorizedKeysFiles
476
477- `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.
478 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.
479
480- `frr` was updated to 10.0, which introduces the default of `enforce-first-as` for BGP. Please disable again if needed.
481
482- `services.aria2.rpcSecret` has been replaced with `services.aria2.rpcSecretFile`.
483 This was done so that secrets aren't stored in the world-readable Nix store.
484 To migrate, you will have to create a file with the same exact string, and change
485 your module options to point to that file. For example, `services.aria2.rpcSecret =
486 "mysecret"` becomes `services.aria2.rpcSecretFile = "/path/to/secret_file"`
487 where the file `secret_file` contains the string `mysecret`.
488
489- `services.avahi.nssmdns` was split into `services.avahi.nssmdns4` and `services.avahi.nssmdns6` which enable the mDNS NSS switches for IPv4 and IPv6 respectively.
490 Since most mDNS responders only register IPv4 addresses, most users want to keep the IPv6 support disabled to avoid long timeouts.
491
492- `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:
493 - The `settings.common` section in the configuration is no longer valid and all the options form inside it now go directly under `settings`.
494 - Configuration option names have been changed from snake_case to camelCase. For example: `server_addr` becomes `serverAddr`, `server_port` becomes `serverPort` etc.
495 - Proxies are now defined with a new option, `settings.proxies`, which takes a list of proxies.
496 - Consult the [upstream documentation](https://github.com/fatedier/frp#example-usage) for more details on the changes.
497
498- `services.hledger-web.capabilities` options has been replaced by a new option `services.hledger-web.allow`.
499
500 - `allow = "view"` means `capabilities = { view = true; }`;
501 - `allow = "add"` means `capabilities = { view = true; add = true; }`;
502 - `allow = "edit"` means `capabilities = { view = true; add = true; edit = true }`;
503 - `allow = "sandstorm"` reads permissions from the `X-Sandstorm-Permissions` request header.
504
505- `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.
506
507- `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).
508
509- `services.oauth2_proxy` was renamed to `services.oauth2-proxy`. Also the corresponding service, user and group were renamed.
510
511- `services.smokeping` now has an option `webService`. When enabled, smokeping is now served via nginx instead of thttpd. This change brings the following consequences:
512 - The default port for smokeping is now the nginx default port 80 instead of 8081.
513 - The option `services.smokeping.port` has been removed. To customize the port, use `services.nginx.virtualHosts.smokeping.listen.*.port`.
514
515- `services.neo4j.allowUpgrade` was removed and no longer has any effect. Neo4j 5 supports automatic rolling upgrades.
516
517- `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`:
518 - `logLevel` -> [`loglevel`](#opt-services.nextcloud.settings.loglevel),
519 - `logType` -> [`log_type`](#opt-services.nextcloud.settings.log_type),
520 - `defaultPhoneRegion` -> [`default_phone_region`](#opt-services.nextcloud.settings.default_phone_region),
521 - `overwriteProtocol` -> [`overwriteprotocol`](#opt-services.nextcloud.settings.overwriteprotocol),
522 - `skeletonDirectory` -> [`skeletondirectory`](#opt-services.nextcloud.settings.skeletondirectory),
523 - `globalProfiles` -> [`profile.enabled`](#opt-services.nextcloud.settings._profile.enabled_),
524 - `extraTrustedDomains` -> [`trusted_domains`](#opt-services.nextcloud.settings.trusted_domains) and
525 - `trustedProxies` -> [`trusted_proxies`](#opt-services.nextcloud.settings.trusted_proxies).
526
527- `services.nginx` will no longer advertise HTTP/3 availability automatically. This must now be manually added, preferably to each location block.
528 Example:
529
530 ```nix
531 {
532 locations."/".extraConfig = ''
533 add_header Alt-Svc 'h3=":$server_port"; ma=86400';
534 '';
535 locations."^~ /assets/".extraConfig = ''
536 add_header Alt-Svc 'h3=":$server_port"; ma=86400';
537 '';
538 }
539 ```
540
541- `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.
542
543- `services.postgresql.ensureUsers._.ensurePermissions` has been removed as it is
544 not declarative and is broken with newer postgresql versions. Consider using
545 [](#opt-services.postgresql.ensureUsers._.ensureDBOwnership)
546 instead or a tool that is more suited for managing the data inside a postgresql database.
547
548- `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.
549
550- `services.resolved.fallbackDns`
551 - can now be used to disable the upstream fallback servers entirely by setting it to `[]`
552 - to get previous behaviour of upstream defaults, set it to `null`
553 - default value has changed from `[]` to `null`, in order to preserve default behaviour
554
555- `services.vikunja` systemd service now uses `vikunja` as dynamic user instead of `vikunja-api`. Database users might need to be changed.
556
557- `services.vikunja.setupNginx` setting has been removed. Users now need to set up the webserver configuration on their own with a proxy pass to the vikunja service.
558
559- `services.vmagent` module deprecates `dataDir`, `group` and `user` settings in favor of the systemd-provided CacheDirectory and DynamicUser.
560
561- `services.vmagent.remoteWriteUrl` setting has been renamed to `services.vmagent.remoteWrite.url` and now defaults to `null`.
562
563- `services.zope2` has been removed, as `zope2` is unmaintained and was relying on Python 2.
564
565- `spark2014` has been renamed to `gnatprove`. A version of `gnatprove` matching different GNAT versions is available from the different `gnatPackages` sets.
566
567- `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).
568
569- `system.etc.overlay.enable` option was added. If enabled, `/etc` is
570 mounted via an overlayfs instead of being created by a custom perl script.
571
572- `system.forbiddenDependenciesRegex` has been renamed to `system.forbiddenDependenciesRegexes` and now has the type of `listOf string` instead of `string` to accept multiple regexes.
573
574- `systemd.oomd` module behavior has changed:
575
576 - 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).
577 Reference: [commit](https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/systemd/c/806c95e1c70af18f81d499b24cd7acfa4c36ffd6?branch=806c95e1c70af18f81d499b24cd7acfa4c36ffd6).
578
579 - Remove swap policy. This helps prevent killing processes when user's swap is small.
580
581 - 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).
582
583 - Rename `systemd.oomd.enableUserServices` to `systemd.oomd.enableUserSlices`.
584
585- `systemd.sysusers.enable` option was added. If enabled, users and
586 groups are created with systemd-sysusers instead of with a custom perl script.
587
588- `teleport` has been upgraded from major version 14 to major version 15.
589 Refer to upstream [upgrade instructions](https://goteleport.com/docs/management/operations/upgrading/)
590 and release notes for [v15](https://goteleport.com/docs/changelog/#1500-013124).
591
592- `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.
593
594- `unrar` was updated to v7. See [changelog](https://www.rarlab.com/unrar7notes.htm) for more information.
595
596- `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.
597
598- `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.
599
600- `woodpecker-*` packages have been updated to v2 which includes [breaking changes](https://woodpecker-ci.org/docs/next/migrations#200).
601
602- `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`.
603
604- `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.
605
606- `xfsprogs` was updated to version 6.6.0, which enables reverse mapping (rmapbt) and large extent counts (nrext64) by default.
607 Support for these features was added in kernel 4.9 and 5.19 and nrext64 was deemed stable in kernel 6.5.
608 Format your filesystems with `mkfs.xfs -i nrext64=0`, if they need to be readable by GRUB2 before 2.12 or kernels older than 5.19.
609
610- `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`.
611
612- `youtrack` was bumped to 2023.3. The update is not performed automatically, it requires manual interaction. See the YouTrack section in the manual for details.
613
614- 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.
615
616- Paths provided as `restartTriggers` and `reloadTriggers` for systemd units will now be copied into the Nix store to make the behavior consistent.
617 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.
618
619- A warning has been added for services that are
620 `after = [ "network-online.target" ]` but do not depend on it (e.g. using
621 `wants`), because the dependency that `multi-user.target` has on
622 `network-online.target` is planned for removal.
623
624- switch-to-configuration does not directly call systemd-tmpfiles anymore.
625 Instead, the new artificial sysinit-reactivation.target is introduced which
626 allows to restart multiple services that are ordered before sysinit.target
627 and respect the ordering between the services.
628
629- `services.prometheus.exporters.snmp`'s configuration format changed with release 0.23.0.
630 The module now includes an optional config check, that is enabled by default, to make the change obvious before any deployment.
631 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).
632
633## Other Notable Changes {#sec-release-24.05-notable-changes}
634
635<!-- To avoid merge conflicts, consider adding your item at an arbitrary place in the list instead. -->
636
637- `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.
638
639- `appimage`, `appimageTools.wrapAppImage` and `buildFHSEnvBubblewrap` now properly accept `pname` and `version`.
640
641- `bacula` now allows to configure `TLS` for encrypted communication.
642
643- `boot.initrd.network.ssh.authorizedKeyFiles` is a new option in the initrd ssh daemon module, for adding authorized keys via list of files.
644
645- `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.
646
647- `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.
648
649- `boot.loader.systemd-boot` will now verify that `efiSysMountPoint` (and `xbootldrMountPoint` if configured) are mounted partitions.
650
651- `buildDubPackage` can now be used to build Programs written in [D](https://dlang.org/) using the `dub` build system and package manager.
652 See the [D section](https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/unstable#dlang) in the manual for more information.
653
654- `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 information.
655
656- `documentation.man.mandoc` now, by default, uses `MANPATH` to set the directories where mandoc will search for manual pages.
657 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.
658
659- `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.
660
661- `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.
662
663- `hardware.pulseaudio` module now sets permissions of pulse user home directory to 755 when running in systemWide mode. It fixes [issue 114399](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/114399).
664
665- `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.
666
667- `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`.
668
669- `libass` now uses the native CoreText backend on Darwin, which may fix subtitle rendering issues with `mpv`, `ffmpeg`, etc.
670
671- `libjxl` version was 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`.
672
673- [`lilypond`](https://lilypond.org/index.html) and [`denemo`](https://www.denemo.org) are now compiled with Guile 3.0.
674
675- `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.
676
677- [`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.
678 The default replication worker on the main instance has been migrated away from TCP sockets to UNIX domain sockets.
679
680- `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).
681
682- `mpich` now requires `withPm` to be a list, e.g. `"hydra:gforker"` becomes `[ "hydra" "gforker" ]`.
683
684- `nextcloud-setup.service` no longer changes the group of each file and 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.
685
686- `oils-for-unix`, the oil shell's C++ version is now available. The Python version is still available as `oil`.
687
688- `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).
689
690- [`portunus`](https://github.com/majewsky/portunus) has been updated to major version 2.
691 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.
692 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.
693 Support for weak password hashes will be removed in NixOS 24.11.
694
695- `programs.fish.package` now allows you to override the package used in the `fish` module.
696
697- `qt6.qtmultimedia` has changed its default backend to `QT_MEDIA_BACKEND=ffmpeg` (previously `gstreamer` on Linux or `darwin` on macOS).
698 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.
699
700- `services.btrbk` now automatically selects and provides required compression
701 program depending on the configured `stream_compress` option.
702
703- `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.
704
705- `services.networkmanager.extraConfig` was renamed to `services.networkmanager.settings` and changed to use the ini type instead of using a multiline string.
706
707- `services.nextcloud.config.dbport` option of the Nextcloud module was removed to match upstream.
708 The port can be specified in [`services.nextcloud.config.dbhost`](#opt-services.nextcloud.config.dbhost).
709
710- `services.kavita` now uses the free-form option `services.kavita.settings` for the application settings file.
711 The options `services.kavita.ipAdresses` and `services.kavita.port` now exist at `services.kavita.settings.IpAddresses`
712 and `services.kavita.settings.IpAddresses`. The file at `services.kavita.tokenKeyFile` now needs to contain a secret with
713 512+ bits instead of 128+ bits.
714
715- `services.netbird` now allows running multiple tunnels in parallel through [`services.netbird.tunnels`](#opt-services.netbird.tunnels).
716
717- `services.nginx.virtualHosts` using `forceSSL` or
718 `globalRedirect` can now have redirect codes other than 301 through `redirectCode`.
719
720- `services.openssh` now has an option `authorizedKeysInHomedir`, controlling whether `~/.ssh/authorizedKeys` is
721 added to `authorizedKeysFiles`.
722 ::: {.note}
723 This option currently defaults to `true` for NixOS 24.05, preserving the previous behaviour.
724 This is expected to change in NixOS 24.11.
725 :::
726 ::: {.warning}
727 Users should check that their SSH keys are in `users.users.*.openssh`, or that they have another way to access
728 and administer the system, before setting this option to `false`.
729 :::
730
731- `services.paperless` module no longer uses the previously downloaded NLTK data stored in `/var/cache/paperless/nltk`. This directory can be removed.
732
733- `services.postgresql.extraPlugins`' type has expanded. Previously it was a list of packages, now it can also be a function that returns such a list.
734 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 ];``;
735
736- `services.slskd` has been refactored to include more configuration options in
737 the free-form `services.slskd.settings` option, and some defaults (including listen ports)
738 have been changed to match the upstream defaults. Additionally, disk logging is now
739 disabled by default, and the log rotation timer has been removed.
740 The nginx virtualhost option is now of the `vhost-options` type.
741
742- `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`.
743
744- `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.
745
746- `services.teeworlds` module now has a wealth of configuration options, including a new `package` option.
747
748- `services.xserver.desktopManager.budgie` installs `gnome.gnome-terminal` by default (instead of `mate.mate-terminal`).
749
750- `services.zfs.zed.enableMail` now uses the global `sendmail` wrapper defined by an email module
751 (such as msmtp or Postfix). It no longer requires using a special ZFS build with email support.
752
753- `sonarr` version was 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).
754
755- `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`.
756
757- `systemd`: when merging unit options (of type `unitOption`),
758 if at least one definition is a list, all those which aren't are now lifted into a list,
759 making it possible to accumulate definitions without resorting to `mkForce`,
760 hence to retain the definitions not anticipating that need.
761
762- `systemd` units can now specify the `Upholds=` and `UpheldBy=` unit dependencies via the aptly
763 named `upholds` and `upheldBy` options. These options get systemd to enforce that the
764 dependencies remain continuously running for as long as the dependent unit is in a running state.
765
766- 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`.
767
768- Programs written in [Nim](https://nim-lang.org/) are built with libraries selected by lockfiles.
769 The `nimPackages` and `nim2Packages` sets have been removed.
770 See https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/unstable#nim for more information.
771
772- The EC2 image module now enables the [Amazon SSM Agent](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide/ssm-agent.html) by default.
773
774- A new abstraction to create both read-only as well as writable overlay file
775 systems was added. Available via
776 [fileSystems.overlay](#opt-fileSystems._name_.overlay.lowerdir). See also the
777 [NixOS docs](#sec-overlayfs).
778
779- A new hardening flag, `zerocallusedregs` was made available, corresponding to the gcc/clang option `-fzero-call-used-regs=used-gpr`.
780
781- A new hardening flag, `trivialautovarinit` was made available, corresponding to the gcc/clang option `-ftrivial-auto-var-init=pattern`.
782
783- `dnsdist` has new options to enable and configure a DNSCrypt endpoint (see `services.dnsdist.dnscrypt.enable`, etc.).
784 The module can generate the DNSCrypt provider key pair and certificates, and also rotates them automatically with no downtime.
785
786- The kernel Yama LSM is now enabled by default, which prevents ptracing
787 non-child processes. This means you will not be able to attach gdb to an
788 existing process, but will need to start that process from gdb (so it is a
789 child). Or you can set `boot.kernel.sysctl."kernel.yama.ptrace_scope"` to 0.
790
791- Lisp modules: previously deprecated interface based on `common-lisp.sh` has now been removed.
792
793- The `systemd-confinement` module extension is now compatible with `DynamicUser=true` and thus `ProtectSystem=strict` too.
794

831
832### Deprecations {#sec-release-24.05-lib-deprecations}
833
834- [`lib.options.mdDoc`](https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/unstable#function-library-lib.options.mdDoc) is obsolete and now emits a warning. The core ecosystem has completely migrated to markdown, so marking markdown as markdown is redundant.
835- `lib.attrsets.zipWithNames` is now a deprecated alias of [`lib.attrsets.zipAttrsWithNames`](https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/unstable/#function-library-lib.attrsets.zipAttrsWithNames)
836- `lib.attrsets.cartesianProductOfSets` has been renamed to [`lib.attrsets.cartesianProduct`](https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/unstable/#function-library-lib.attrsets.cartesianProduct)
837
838### Internal {#sec-release-24.05-lib-internal}
839- `lib` now has [Readme for contributing](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/lib#readme).
840- Some function's documentation is now written using the [accepted doc comment syntax](https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/145).
841- `odoo` has been updated from `16.0.20231024` to `17.0.20240507`.
