Release 23.05

The 23.05 release branch became the stable branch in May, 2023.

Highlights

This release has the following notable changes:

  • Firefox add-ons are now managed per-profile. That is, if you are currently having

    programs.firefox.extensions = [ foo bar ];

    in your configuration then you must change it to

    programs.firefox.profiles.myprofile.extensions = [ foo bar ];

  • The default configuration location has been changed from ~/.config/nixpkgs/home.nix to ~/.config/home-manager/home.nix.

    Similarly, if you are using a Nix flake based setup then the default flake file location has changed from ~/.config/nixpkgs/flake.nix to ~/.config/home-manager/flake.nix.

    The old location will continue to work but using it will trigger a warning message. We changed the default configuration location to avoid confusion about which files belong to Home Manager and which belong to Nixpkgs.

  • The home-manager tool now offers an init command. This command can be used to generate an initial Home Manager configuration, and optionally also activate it. The recommended installation method for a standalone Home Manager setup with Nix flakes uses this new command. The standard installation method remains the same but uses the new command internally. See sec-flakes-standalone for more.
