Release 24.11 (“Vicuña”, 2024.11/??)

Highlights

• Create the first release note entry in this section!

New Services

• Create the first release note entry in this section!

Backward Incompatibilities

• nginx package no longer includes gd and geoip dependencies. For enabling it, override nginx package with the optionals withImageFilter and withGeoIP.

• nvimpager was updated to version 0.13.0, which changes the order of user and nvimpager settings: user commands in -c and --cmd now override the respective default settings because they are executed later.

• The Invoiceplane module now only accepts the structured settings option. extraConfig is now removed.

• Legacy package stalwart-mail_0_6 was dropped, please note the manual upgrade process before changing the package to pkgs.stalwart-mail in services.stalwart-mail.package.

• The stalwart-mail module now uses RocksDB as the default storage backend for stateVersion ≥ 24.11. (It was previously using SQLite for structured data and the filesystem for blobs).

• zx was updated to v8, which introduces several breaking changes. See the v8 changelog for more information.

• The portunus package and service do not support weak password hashes anymore. If you installed Portunus on NixOS 23.11 or earlier, upgrade to NixOS 24.05 first to get support for strong password hashing. Then, follow the instructions on the upstream release notes to upgrade all existing user accounts to strong password hashes. If you need to upgrade to 24.11 without having completed the migration, consider the security implications of weak password hashes on your user accounts, and add the following to your configuration:

  services.portunus.package      = pkgs.portunus.override { libxcrypt = pkgs.libxcrypt-legacy; };
  services.portunus.ldap.package = pkgs.openldap.override { libxcrypt = pkgs.libxcrypt-legacy; };
  

Other Notable Changes

• hareHook has been added as the language framework for Hare. From now on, it, not the hare package, should be added to nativeBuildInputs when building Hare programs.

• To facilitate dependency injection, the imgui package now builds a static archive using vcpkg' CMake rules. The derivation now installs "impl" headers selectively instead of by a wildcard. Use imgui.src if you just want to access the unpacked sources.
