# Release 24.11 (“Vicuña”, 2024.11/??) {#sec-release-24.11}
<!-- To avoid merge conflicts, consider adding your item at an arbitrary place in the list instead. -->
## Highlights {#sec-release-24.11-highlights}
- Convenience options for `amdgpu`, open source driver for Radeon cards, is now available under `hardware.amdgpu`.
- [AMDVLK](https://github.com/GPUOpen-Drivers/AMDVLK), AMD's open source Vulkan driver, is now available to be configured as `hardware.amdgpu.amdvlk` option.
This also allows configuring runtime settings of AMDVLK and enabling experimental features.
## New Services {#sec-release-24.11-new-services}
- [Open-WebUI](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui), a user-friendly WebUI
for LLMs. Available as [services.open-webui](#opt-services.open-webui.enable)
service.
- [Quickwit](https://quickwit.io), sub-second search & analytics engine on cloud storage. Available as [services.quickwit](options.html#opt-services.quickwit).
- [Flood](https://flood.js.org/), a beautiful WebUI for various torrent clients. Available as [services.flood](options.html#opt-services.flood).
- [Renovate](https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate), a dependency updating tool for various git forges and language ecosystems. Available as [services.renovate](#opt-services.renovate.enable).
## Backward Incompatibilities {#sec-release-24.11-incompatibilities}
- `transmission` package has been aliased with a `trace` warning to `transmission_3`. Since [Transmission 4 has been released last year](https://github.com/transmission/transmission/releases/tag/4.0.0), and Transmission 3 will eventually go away, it was decided perform this warning alias to make people aware of the new version. The `services.transmission.package` defaults to `transmission_3` as well because the upgrade can cause data loss in certain specific usage patterns (examples: [#5153](https://github.com/transmission/transmission/issues/5153), [#6796](https://github.com/transmission/transmission/issues/6796)). Please make sure to back up to your data directory per your usage:
- `transmission-gtk`: `~/.config/transmission`
- `transmission-daemon` using NixOS module: `${config.services.transmission.home}/.config/transmission-daemon` (defaults to `/var/lib/transmission/.config/transmission-daemon`)
- `androidenv.androidPkgs_9_0` has been removed, and replaced with `androidenv.androidPkgs` for a more complete Android SDK including support for Android 9 and later.
- `wstunnel` has had a major version upgrade that entailed rewriting the program in Rust.
The module was updated to accommodate for breaking changes.
Breaking changes to the module API were minimised as much as possible,
but some were nonetheless inevitable due to changes in the upstream CLI.
Certain options were moved from separate CLI arguments into the forward specifications,
and those options were also removed from the module's API,
please consult the wstunnel man page for more detail.
Also be aware that if you have set additional options in `services.wstunnel.{clients,servers}.<name>.extraArgs`,
that those might have been removed or modified upstream.
- `clang-tools_<version>` packages have been moved into `llvmPackages_<version>` (i.e. `clang-tools_18` is now `llvmPackages_18.clang-tools`).
- For convenience, the top-level `clang-tools` attribute remains and is now bound to `llvmPackages.clang-tools`.
- Top-level `clang_tools_<version>` attributes are now aliases; these will be removed in a future release.
- `nginx` package no longer includes `gd` and `geoip` dependencies. For enabling it, override `nginx` package with the optionals `withImageFilter` and `withGeoIP`.
- `openssh` and `openssh_hpn` are now compiled without Kerberos 5 / GSSAPI support in an effort to reduce the attack surface of the components for the majority of users. Users needing this support can
use the new `opensshWithKerberos` and `openssh_hpnWithKerberos` flavors (e.g. `programs.ssh.package = pkgs.openssh_gssapi`).
- `security.ipa.ipaHostname` now defaults to the value of `networking.fqdn` if
it is set, instead of the previous hardcoded default of
`${networking.hostName}.${security.ipa.domain}`.
- `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.
- `services.forgejo.mailerPasswordFile` has been deprecated by the drop-in replacement `services.forgejo.secrets.mailer.PASSWD`,
which is part of the new free-form `services.forgejo.secrets` option.
`services.forgejo.secrets` is a small wrapper over systemd's `LoadCredential=`. It has the same structure (sections/keys) as
`services.forgejo.settings` but takes file paths that will be read before service startup instead of some plaintext value.
- `services.ddclient.use` has been deprecated: `ddclient` now supports separate IPv4 and IPv6 configuration. Use `services.ddclient.usev4` and `services.ddclient.usev6` instead.
- `vaultwarden` lost the capability to bind to privileged ports. If you rely on
this behavior, override the systemd unit to allow `CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE` in
your local configuration.
- 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](https://github.com/stalwartlabs/mail-server/blob/main/UPGRADING.md)
before changing the package to `pkgs.stalwart-mail` in
[`services.stalwart-mail.package`](#opt-services.stalwart-mail.package).
- `androidndkPkgs` has been updated to `androidndkPkgs_26`.
- Android NDK version 26 and SDK version 33 are now the default versions used for cross compilation to android.
- `haskell.lib.compose.justStaticExecutables` now disallows references to GHC in the
output by default, to alert users to closure size issues caused by
[#164630](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/164630). See ["Packaging
Helpers" in the Haskell section of the Nixpkgs
manual](https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/unstable/#haskell-packaging-helpers)
for information on working around `output '...' is not allowed to refer to
the following paths` errors caused by this change.
- The `stalwart-mail` service now runs under the `stalwart-mail` system user
instead of a dynamically created one via `DynamicUser`, to avoid automatic
ownership changes on its large file store each time the service was started.
This change requires to manually move the state directory from
`/var/lib/private/stalwart-mail` to `/var/lib/stalwart-mail` and to
change the ownership of the directory and its content to `stalwart-mail`.
- 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).
- `libe57format` has been updated to `>= 3.0.0`, which contains some backward-incompatible API changes. See the [release note](https://github.com/asmaloney/libE57Format/releases/tag/v3.0.0) for more details.
- `zx` was updated to v8, which introduces several breaking changes.
See the [v8 changelog](https://github.com/google/zx/releases/tag/8.0.0) 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](https://github.com/majewsky/portunus/releases/tag/v2.0.0) 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:
```nix
services.portunus.package = pkgs.portunus.override { libxcrypt = pkgs.libxcrypt-legacy; };
services.portunus.ldap.package = pkgs.openldap.override { libxcrypt = pkgs.libxcrypt-legacy; };
```
- `keycloak` was updated to version 25, which introduces new hostname related options.
See [Upgrading Guide](https://www.keycloak.org/docs/25.0.1/upgrading/#migrating-to-25-0-0) for instructions.
- The `tracy` package no longer works on X11, since it's moved to Wayland
support, which is the intended default behavior by Tracy maintainers.
X11 users have to switch to the new package `tracy-x11`.
- The `services.prometheus.exporters.minio` option has been removed, as it's upstream implementation was broken and unmaintained.
Minio now has built-in [Prometheus metrics exposure](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/operations/monitoring/collect-minio-metrics-using-prometheus.html), which can be used instead.
## Other Notable Changes {#sec-release-24.11-notable-changes}
<!-- To avoid merge conflicts, consider adding your item at an arbitrary place in the list instead. -->
- The `zerocallusedregs` hardening flag is enabled by default on compilers that support it.
- The `stackclashprotection` hardening flag has been added, though disabled by default.
- `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.
