2.3 KiB
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 aninit
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.
